Correcting an imbalance WITHIN one Phase

[Guest guest]

Hi All, & Hi Holmes,

 

> Metal LU is deficient and LI in excess.

 

In theory, because LU and LI belong to the same Phase (Metal),

this is a simple imbalance to correct! Just needle LU07 (the Luo-

Passage Point of LU), using Bu (reinforcing) manipulation.

 

This will Tonify LU by draining the Excess (Shi) from LI (the Pair-

Mate of LU).

 

> I heard somewhere that one does not tone Metal, even when

> deficient. Holmes

 

I have not heard that.

 

However, I did read that one should not Tonify HT Channel directly.

I have ignored that advice and often use HT09 (wood Point), the

Tonification (Mother) Point of HT, if I feel that I need to increase Qi

in HT Channel.

 

Any comments?

 

Best regards,

I guess what I might say is pretty basic stuff. The use of Lou-connecting and

Yuan- source points is indicated for inbalances of channels within the same

element. I have learnt of it a while ago and think it is of an older use, and

not too modern.
