accupressure meridians

[Guest guest]

I have been looking at various accurpressure/

accupunture meridians and noticed some distinct

differences. I don't remember the venacular for all

the points, but I do remember their location...

In the Tui-na class I took the heart channel started

at the web of the hand (between thumb and pointer) and

ended on the cheek.

In accupuncture (on-line and in the text " the web

has no weaver " ) the lung channel starts at the thumb.

Heart is pinkie....

Jin Shin do... I still haven't found a coherent

listing of the channels, however, it does share many

of the points I was shown.

does anyone know if this is specific school of

thinking or???

I have gotten excellent results from the work

I've done with tui-na. More than once bordering on

what I would call Miraculous... but I would like to

assemble a comprehensive body of knowledge.

The other thing is... When we had the five

elements taught it was represented as fire in the

middle... Wood, Earth, Metal, Water, and Wind around

the borders. It was explained as follows:

Fire and Wood make ash or Earth.

Fire and Earth make (solid or) Metal.

Fire and Metal make (liquid or) Water.

fire and water make (gas or) air.

 

(I added the stuff in brackets cause it seemed to add

to the explanation revealing it too reference the

states of matter).

The way the five elements are represented in

photos under " Theory " excludes wind from the diagram

altogether. Do they have a break down like above? I

have seen a similar illustration to the one posted

showing which organs have influence over which

organs....

I imagine this is just a specific school of

thought, but I am interested to see how many other

ways this information has been taught and received.

I see it kind of like our body being several

kinds of batteries at once.

One battery stores kinetic enegy (movement of blood-

like kids using a merry go round to power a water

pump, the water tower becoming a battery for kinetic

energy.)

Our digestive is chemical battery breaking down food

for power.

Solar? (don't know enough...

nuclear (since most everyone would agree an atom can

be split and destroy, so each atom holds enough power

to repair... How many bodies???)

Perhaps I listened to too much Motzart as a kid.

In regards to the " Motzart Effect " . I have read

that infants listening to Motzart in the childhood was

suppose to increase brain wave activity, and increase

their ability to do complex thinking. Though I imagine

as with anything some children are open to such

stimulation and some aren't. I do not believe it was

ineffective obviously if it was the generations that

followed wouldn't have been so inspired, but I think

that is true of almost all music. (even discordant

music often has comples resonant patterns, but the

problem with that is... finding healthy release for

such energies once a society is oscillating on that

level).

Like how people imitate art... some take what is

healthy from it, some only take that which is

dramatic, or will garner attention... Or how in

martial arts the points that are used to hurt may also

heal. The path is always the say, it's what you do

along the way...

I appreciate being allow to join your newsgroup

and hope to hear from you all soon.
