このホームページの趣旨

The Main Theme of This Site

メインテーマ
「健全なる精神は健全なる肉体に宿れかし」

皆様に健康に関する情報を提供するため、平成2年7月から「養生」を発行して参りました(通刊二十五号)。その後に書きためた文章を皆様方にお届けするのがこのホームページです。
テーマに入っているSOUND(サウンド)という英単語は、「音」に関する意味として知られていますが、それ以外にも「健全な、健康な」といった大切な意味を持っています。そこで「へぇーっ、そんな意味もあったん?」というように、健康や生活などに関して、ちょっと知っていたら便利だったり、理解が深まったりと、鍼灸医学を中心に西洋医学、はたまた英数理科に至るまで、心に移りゆくよしなしごとを、楽しく書いていこうと考えています。
また、標記に「健全な精神は健全な肉体に宿れかし」と書きました。一般的に「宿る」と言われているのは誤りで、正しくは「健全な精神は健全な肉体に宿れかし」であります。「宿る」だと、健全な精神は常に健全な肉体にのみ宿る、と解釈されそうですが、「宿れかし」つまり「丈夫な体で、清い心を持てればいいのになー(でもそれが難しいんだよ)。」という一種、仮定法的表現なのです。心身共に健康を目指しましょう。

MAIN THEME
"A Sound Mind In A Sound Body"
In order to provide information about health, I have issued a series of brochures entitled "Yojyo" (養生: this word means "how to have a healthy life"). 25 brochures have been published so far.

This homepage will provide you with my newest essays.

The English word Sound, which is included in the main theme of my homepage, is usually used for its audiological meaning, as in "tone" or "noise", but the word Sound also has another important meaning as "healthy" or "wholesome".

Our main theme, "A sound mind in a sound body", is often understood to mean: if you have a sound body, you will have a sound mind. But this is wrong, a sound body is not a guarantee of a sound mind. In fact, this proverb is a subjunctive expression and states our desire for both: if only we could have a sound mind and a sound body.

The acupuncture and other medical services available at our office will assist you in keeping a sound body. We offer the information on these pages with the hope that it will assist you in maintaining a sound mind as well.

Here you will find writing about familiar matteres on our daily life and health, from Western Medicine and school subjects such as English, math, biology and chemistry, to acupuncture and other Oriental Medicines, which will enrich your knowledge and understanding.
