Guest guest Posted April 17, 2000 Report Share Posted April 17, 2000 These are just other names for the Governor Vessel and the Conception Vessel. The Du Mai is the Governor Vessel. This is the Yang meridian that runs up the center of the back, over the head, and terminates just above the upper lip. The Ren Mai is another term for the Conception Vessel. This is the Yin meridian that runs up the midline of the front of the body. When you touch the tip of your tongue to to roof of the mouth in a Hara breathing exercise, you're connecting the Du Mai (Governor) and the Ren Mai (Conception) channels. Pictures of the Du Mai and Ren Mai as well as the other 8 Strange Flows (Extraordinary Meridians) are also on the acupuncture.com website. I didn't write down the web address for this one, but you should be able to get to it from the address for the 12 standard merdians.
