On Qi and Fluids

[Guest guest]

Hi Richard,

 

I had wondered why we have well, spring, stream, river, pool and sea points.

I think that it is the emergence of light or qi transforming from the

non-physical to the physical. If you think that as we stand and raise our arms

upwards, the Qi diffuses through our hands and feet into physical. This can be

further developed as the feet are earth and the hands heaven, with us in the

middle,

man.

 

Kind regards

Sorry...I had intended to respond to the group and hit the wrong reply button

so I just now sent the message again.

 

As to your question from the other day.....on Yang and Yin style treatment...

This is logical. As we believe...... there is no actual division between the

two. In the comparison of Yin to Yang....it is always of a 'relative' nature.

The use of an acupuncture needle with or without electricity appears to be

more focused/concentrated and nerve related. Just look at the allopaths and the

books they write on the neurological effects of acupuncture and I don't doubt

that it is true. BUT......it can not be ALL of what the umbrella of

acupuncture/OM is all about. According to Dr. Wu, Boping in conversations to

me...even

though there are no definitive writings that he recalls in the some 10,000 books

written in ancient Chinese......it makes sense that there is liquid/moisture

in the acupuncture channels. To me it is logical that at least there is this

liquid (which is interstitial fluid) and other components in and around the

channels formed by the proximity of muscles or muscles and bones which include

the vascular, lymph and neurological networks . When one uses TuiNa, GuaSha,

BaGuan......they are impacting/effecting more tissues/functions than just the

nerves/neurological. Of course acupuncture needles has an effect on other

tissues but just not as much as when using the Yin modalities. So when there is

a

much greater impact on Fluid physiology/pathology doesn;t it seem reasonable to

call that a Yin treatment/modality?

 

By the way... ever wonder as to WHY many points have been referred to as

WELL, SPRING, STREAM, RIVER, POOL and SEA points? We have heard it is in

relation

to QI....yet to me QI is just a more etheric nature of liquid as moisture. I

have even seen translation references to Qi as moisture. Neither are ever

separated. Yin is also always Yang and vice versa and so the same is with Qi &

Fluids. So WHY not consider Qi as a form of fluid?
