life energy analysis

Technique developed by psychiatrist John Diamond, M.D., author of several books (see "behavioral kinesiology"). Its theory posits a correlation: (a) of acupuncture meridians and emotional states, (b) of acupoints and "particular aspects" of these states, and (c) of the aforementioned aspects and specific affirmations, bodily movements, nutrients, and tunes. Diamond has postulated that some melodies enhance the "life energy" of listeners.
