诺娜·弗兰格林 | 致刘力红老师：我们跨越世界，双手相握，互相帮助，共度时艰

诺娜·弗兰格林（Nora Franglen)

1936年出生。早年就读于剑桥大学，主修现代语言，后以翻译为业。她因经历了五行针灸治疗，而决定到位于英国莱明顿（Leamington Spa）的“传统针灸学院”学习针灸。在导师华思礼教授指导下完成针灸研究生、博士生学业。于1995年在伦敦创办“五行针灸学校”，任校长。2007年7月停止办学后至今一直致力于传播弘扬五行针灸。2010年始开通“诺娜博客”（Nora Franglen’s Blog），大量撰文传授其30多年来实践五行针灸之个人经验和心得，备受世界各国五行针灸喜爱者和实践者推崇。著有：《五行针灸指南》《五行针灸简明手册》《心灵守护者》《事物的模式——以五行看人生》。2011年11月至今，在同有三和的全力协助下，多次举办五行针灸学习班，为来自全国各地的学员传授五行针灸。现任同有三和中医药发展基金会针道专业委员会顾问。

背景

2020年全球历经新冠疫情，诺娜老师所在的英国也多次因疫情封城，原本每年两期的五行针灸提高班也未能如期举办，但身在海外的老师却时刻惦记着远在中国的学生和刘老师。

2021年1月2日，我们收到诺娜老师发来的视频，《My message to Liu Laoshi （我给刘老师的信息）》，视频中有诺娜老师与刘老师的初见，有两人十数年的伯牙子期之情，有老师对当下局势的悲悯，和对如此深邃厚重的中医的感叹……

我最近意识到，多年前能遇见刘老师是多么幸运。我去参加一个德国的针灸论坛，刘老师也在那里做一个讲座，龙梅将我引荐给了他。我立刻感觉到这个人值得信赖，最重要的是，我和他产生了链接，深层的链接。

我很高兴他邀请我到中国讲授五行针灸，最初在南宁，此后的十年、十二年里我们一直很亲近，即便相隔万里，每年只见一两面，但在对中医的理解上我们是知己。

中医是如此深邃厚重，对现代社会又如此重要。我常常跟大家分享的一句话是：我践行的五行针灸是一门疗愈现代世界的古老针法。它对现代社会的痛苦尤其适用，特别是当下。

刘老师很快就理解了这点，我很惊讶他如此迅速地明白了我的意思，这些他当时可能都未曾深思过却在内心深处坚信不移。从那以后，从多年前我在南宁开第一期课程之后，我不记得来过中国多少次了，他鼓励我将我之所悟传遍中国。这让我感到我针灸生涯的下半篇意义非凡。

如果没有来到中国，没有帮助中国的针灸师学习这门非凡美妙的针法，我的人生不会像现在这样有意义。

我非常享受与刘老师的交流，感佩他如此理解我所做的一切。听他讲话有点像在听我的老师华思礼讲话，他（华思礼）已经去世了。不过他对我影响巨大，就好像我的老师在说。我们仿佛两双手跨越海洋，从中国到英国到美国，跨越世界，紧紧相握，互相帮助，度过这个艰难的时刻。

因为新冠疫情，全球都正在经历艰难，还有其他各种挑战。环境问题很严峻，经济问题也很严峻，人们无从应对这些挑战。

我最爱五行针灸的一点，也是刘老师立即懂得的一点，那就是它从生命的最底层即神的层面给我们扶持，它有某种穿过肉体触及神的能力。我们借助银针，穿过肉体直达心灵深处。在如此艰难的时刻，五行针灸是最切合时代的疗法之一，不仅是指医疗方法，而是一切疗法，可以帮助来到我们面前的每一个生命。

期待下次提高班再见大家和刘老师，因为我想念他，想念你们每一位。你们很幸运，能遇到这样一位明师。他总说，如果能有一位中国的华思礼就好了，而我相信下一位五行针灸大师就在中国的某个地方。我由衷地感谢刘老师所做的一切，他激励着我和你们一起前行。谢谢。

My message to Liu Laoshi

I realized that I was so very fortunate in meeting Liu Laoshi many years ago. It happened when I went to an acupuncture seminar in Germany, and there was Liu Laoshi giving some courses. I was introduced to him through Long Mei, and I felt immediately that here was somebody that I could trust first of all. That's most important for me that I had a connection with, a deep connection. I was delighted that he invited me to China to talk about five element acupuncture. That was first of all in Nanning and from then on for the next ten twelve years we have been very close, even though we've been a long way away from each other and only see each other every once or twice a year. But we've been very close in our understanding of what traditional Chinese medicine is about and how very profound it is, very deep it is, and how very important it is for the modern world. I had a saying that I’d like to say to everybody which was that five element acupuncture which is a kind of acupuncture that I practice is an ancient form of healing for a modern world. It is most appropriate for all the troubles we have in the modern world, particularly now. And Liu Laoshi understood that very quickly. I was amazed at how quickly he realized that what I was talking about, which was at that time something he probably didn't think about very much, was something that he believed at a very deep level inside himself. And since then, since the start of my first seminar in Nanning all those years ago, many times I've come to China, he has encouraged me to develop my ideas just spread them as far as possible around China and made me feel that the second half of my acupuncture life has been such a rewarding one. Without these visits to China, without feeling that I was helping the Chinese acupuncturist understand this incredible, beautiful form of medicine, I think my life would not have been as rewarding as it has been.

I have enjoyed it so much associating with Liu Laoshi and admiring so much how much he has understood what I'm doing. When I hear him talk, it's a little bit as if I hear my own master JR Worsley who died some time ago but was a great influence on me, while I hear my own master talking, as if the hands across the ocean from China to England to America round the world are holding together and are grasping each other and are helping each other in this very difficult time. This is a particularly difficult time around the world because of COVID, and that also because there are enormous challenges. The environmental challenges are enormous. Financial challenges are enormous. And people find it very difficult to find enough support to cope with these challenges. One of the things I love about five element acupuncture and which Liu Laoshi understood so very quickly and so very deeply is that it helps us at the deepest levels of our life which is in our spirit, in our Shen. It somehow has the ability to touch through the body because we need to use the needle of course through the body to touch the deepest parts of us. In this very difficult time, it is one of the most appropriate forms of therapy, not just medicine, of all kinds of therapy which can be helpful to everybody that comes towards us.

I really look forward to seeing all of you again and to meeting Liu Laoshi again at our next seminar, because I miss seeing him and I miss seeing everybody else. I think you are all very lucky to have such a very remarkable master in your midst now. And he has always said it would be good if we could find a JR Worsley, a master of five element acupuncture in China and I'm sure there is somebody out there who will become the next master of five element acupuncture. And I thank Liu Laoshi from my heart for all that he has done to encourage my work over there with you. Thank you.
