Guest guest Posted July 16, 2000 Report Share Posted July 16, 2000 Thanks for this info. >The points are : >CV2 >CV4 >CV12 >CV17 >CV22 >Yin Tang >GV20 For the benefits of those unfamiliar with chakras, the colors are: 1: CV2 red - Root chakra 2: CV4 orange - Svadhisthana 3: CV12 yellow - Solar plexus 4: CV17 green - Heart 5: CV22 blue - Throat 6: Yin Tang indigo - Brow 7: GV20 Crown CV is the abbreviation for Conception Vessel, and GV is the abbreviation for Governing Vessel. I'm unfamiliar with the Yin Tang point. At the very least learning to meditate is going to help with stress reduction. I also recommend learning to visualize. Will visualization help to cure illnesses and medical conditions? I don't know. At the very least they are going to help a person relax and can give an improved sense of well-being. In addition, they can give a person something to do in the case of chronic, very debilitating illnesses or medical conditions. Back when I was very sick from the chronic mono, I used visualization in addition to to some other things like vitamin and mineral supplements, herbs, one homeopathic remedy, castor oil packs over the liver and spleen area, etc. When a doctor does an EB titer (measure of antibodies to the Epstein Barr Virus), there are 4 different antibodies that the test looks at. The titer patterns will differ according to if it's the person's first exposure, if the mono is recurring, or if the mono is chronic. For example, the first EB antibody (forget the name) will only be elevated if this is the person's first exposure to the virus, and exposure occured within the past 6 months. In cases of chronic mono, the antibody known as EBNA will be important. I had read somewhere that it's the EBNA that finally puts the mono into remission. Knowing that I needed to spend a lot of time in bed and preferably sleeping, but knowing that it was sometimes hard to unwind because of the nature of mono, I decided to try visualization as an adjunct to healing. I had nothing to lose. I had a lot of fun with the visualization. I got very creative. Since I didn't have enough EBNA, I visualized these big, beefy fighters in baby blue sweat shirts with EBNA across the front in red letters. They were standing around flexing their muscles. Real body builder types. Then they would spy an EB virus that if you've ever seen the 1950's musical L'il Abner looked like the lime green colored zoot suited, sleezy character Evil Eye Fleegle. The big, beefy EBNA characters yell, " There's one! " and pounce on him. What follows is like a scene out of the old Batman TV series with a lot of " POW " s and " BAM " s across the screen. When they're finished, and the EBV is squashed, a little white pacman moves in, gobbles up the remains, and then burps in appreciation. Like I said, I had to spend a lot of time in bed, and this gave me something to do and helped me to relax so I could drift off to sleep. My doctor had told me that I probably would never go into remission and never have a negative monospot test again. But I did go into remission. It took a while, and I can't say the visualization did it or played a role. On the other hand, I can't say the visualization didn't help. Bottom line: It won't hurt and it could help - at the very least helping people to relax so they can get the rest they need to help themselves heal. I don't recommend " putting all your eggs in one basket " so to speak, and not doing anything else to help. But used in conjunction with other treatments, conventional and alternative, visualization is worth a try. One thing I've found is that a combination of treatments is what has helped me the most. Castor oil packs promote lymph flow and reduce swelling and inflammation and in some cases can reduce pain. In some cases they will work to fight infection. (My liver and spleen were very swollen and the areas were painful.) BTW, salt and vinegar packs will stop an area from bruising badly and promote healing. My husband uses those when he hurts himself - like the time he fell off a ladder onto his arm. The next day instead of having a big bruise, the area was slightly discolored in one or two small areas which looked like a bruise that had almost healed and was about to disappear entirely. This is not a TCM treatment (at least not one I am aware of), but TCM recognizes the need to break up and prevent Blood Stasis (which is what a bruise is). Any injury or surgery can result in Blood Stasis which can cause problems for years to come and trigger other problems.

So in the event that I have not here is the answer. Usually I will do all 7 points to balance the Chakras. Starting at the bottom and working my way up. I will run my hands over each Chakra area and read the energy in the area. If it feels overly hyper I will twist the needles counterclockwise, if it has stopped or is slow I will twist the needles clockwise. When inserting the needles I visualize the color of each Chakra location. The points are : CV2 CV4 CV12 CV17 CV22 Yin Tang GV20 Sorry about my delay in responding...........

(at least I remeber >it as an extra point) Thanks. Is it what some books call the Third Eye Point and others number as GV 24.5? That one gets recommended a lot in Acupressure's Potent Points. Maciocia refers to YinTang as " Seal Hall " , and says it's on the midline of the body in between the eyebrows. It sounds like it may be GV 24.5 Victoria ______________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
