Four Gates Junkies

Four Gates usage has always eluded me as to the right way to enter these.

 

Does one tonify both?

Does one tonify one and reduce the other?

Does one reduce the both?

Does one simply place needles in the most indurated point and sit tight?

Is there a sequence to needling?

A sequence to removing needles?

 

LV 3 is horary Mother Earth and benefits Metal.

 

If she is in a snit and Stagnated no amount of toning will help, one

might even

increase Stagnation.

 

If she is released, always a dangerous pursuit to wards a female icon, a

rush of

energy may pass on to the somewhat lost in the woods Son, Metallio Magnus.

 

In which case literally reducing LV 3 [destagnating with rapid movement]

will

actually serve to tonify it.

 

If that is reducing LV 3, wonder what toning is?

 

LI 4 is up in the air on the horary clock. Does one also tome it to tone it?

Or reduce it, because Metal needs Shining [rapid reducing-like movements].

This was taught to me by a great Teacher.

 

So does one end up applying reduction in order to tone?

 

If the ancients called these Gates, something must enter, or something

leave.

 

Can someone help out?

I was taught that

Liv 3 can nourish and soften Liv, so tonify;

Li 4 can purge and move, so reduce.

Together can soften and move Liv

Works for me.

Still eager to here other thoughts.

Our job is not to fulfill patients' expectations of care, but to

fulfill their needs. I think you are right, this is not appropriate

care.

Dr Holmes, maybe it all depends on the template we use when applying

acupuncture. If this is true it may also devastate some practitioners

but this depends on how attached they are to their methods and theory.

After thirty or forty years of practice Felix Mann has stated in his

book " re-inventing acupuncture " that there are no meridians or points at

all just zones or areas that are effective when needled with

propogation.

I know he has become biased but I still think he has something useful to

say about acupuncture. He HAS put a lot of runs on the board regarding

acupuncture and I think anyone with this much experience could have some

good information to offer. Personally I think that five phase

acupuncture has a lot of holes(as does any system)and that these holes

can be filled with " other " knowledge of acupuncture.

Maybe Hegu and Taichong are " depots " that can become tangled with

information. When choosing TO NEEDLE these points it MAY not always be

necessary to use a five phase template or concept just effective

needling to untangle and allow the information to flow again.

the four gates, are yuan point (source point), hegu is yang and

control the qi and taichong is yin and controll the blood. those are

the gates where the qi and blood pass through and communicate.

according to me, they just open the 'main stream of qi and blood'

when the upper side and the lower side do not communicate such as in

short breath and difficulties to urinate. usually are togheter with

fenglong and yanglkingquan can diminuish the flegm and disperse the

fire treating the diankuang; so togheter baihui and shenmen pacify

the shen and so on.(as by Mr. Gao Lishan). in few words they open the

gates more to let out than to let in, as inside there are some

obstructions. also open the joints and let to flow the stasis. the

problem which one should be tonyied or dispersed or which one should

use first, usually the needle goes first on the lower part and than

the upper part as the eneergy starts from the bottom...

thanks

Hello luigi,

Qi and blood pass through the whole body all the time not just the four

gates, when this stops we are dead. Qi and blood are always in

communication as qi leads the blood. Could you please explain a little

more as I am not understanding your ideas.

 

Thanks Ray Ford

I look at these 'templates' as maps of the human body-mind terrain. . .

the map is not the territory, and one can use different maps. It

doesn't mean, however that channels and points aren't 'real', just that

they are more like the relationship of software to hardware (body

anatomy and physiology). This was one of Dr. Yoshio Manaka's core

ideas as well.

Hi Zev--I loved what you said here. That's a really profound

perspective--that there can be as many maps of the same terrain as we

can create. Also, it helps explain why one type of map might be more

useful than another in a given situation. That might be a good way to

look at many things in the universe, come to think of it....religions

being an example that comes to mind.

Is it not possible that there might be a possibility that jing luo mai might

have a physical basis? I remember the research work conducted by Kim

Bonghan, Pierre de Vernajoule and Kwang Sup-Soh. In the first and last

names mentioned, physical structures (conduits) were identified. Bonghan

identified liquid contents as well. The second name mentioned did his Ph D

with human subjects and measured the movements of a radioactive isotope thru

the jing luo mai. I am not expecting an exact one to one with these

discoveries but so far it seems that ancient knowledge and research are in

sync.

When I hear practitioners speak only of TCM/OM as if it is metaphorical only

it makes me wonder if we can ever embrace such profound info or if we will

reject it due to dogma.

This brings up an interesting debate over the reality of the vessels. When

I hear these arguments from various sources I have to wonder if they have

clearly and without bias considered ALL the evidence before making such

assumptions. Mr. Mann has made quite the bold statement here. I do not

think that he has accessed all the info nor has he come to the correct

conclusion. Only time will tell.

that's true that qi and blood goes together all over the body and there

is no question at all. hegu and taichong has points having a strong

influence on qi and blood, they are used as a couple in order to open

and let flow from obstructions, and to unknott the qi and blood.used as

a first prescription based on which follows the appropriate particular

points for specific treatment. the patients that where asking to use

the four gates, which he might think it works for his own benefit, and

which for a correct practice, it has been denied based on 'might not be

very good result'. i think, the four gates points are just points that

need to be used as, i said, at beginning of a therapy but not as

curative points if not coupled with others. the four gates are infact

points with an influence on the general body but not on particular

aspect of itand for it to remove obstructions of qi and blood in the

whole body, lower and upper part trying to reconciliate the yin aspect

and the yang aspect of it.

i guess that would it be...

Mike,

Perhaps we are too limited in how we see the phenomena of the body,

but why does everything have to be 'physical'? We know orbits of

planets are real, but can we see them? The Chinese discovered a

functional system called the triple burner, said in the Nan Jing to

have 'function, but no form'. Does that mean it is not real. To me it

is more unrealistic to shove the concept of the channel/network vessel

system into the construct of anatomy/physiology.

Clearly there are what we call 'points' or 'holes'. Inaccurate

needling or moxa will clearly not yield the same clinical result, or

response to palpatation of the points.

Zev,

 

I mentioned a connection, not to pidgeon hole the info.

 

When a recently discovered physical structure (hollow tubules) not only

follows the ancient jing luo mai but also has internal connections to the

organs and carries the highest concentrations of certain chemical substances

required for growth and development, it would be in our best interest to

want to include this into our professional understanding of the biological

world. This structural system may account for certain aspects of our own

health. I do not understand why we would not want to solve some of these

mysteries that show support for Classical theories. I do

believe that there is more to all of this than just these structures but

this seems a logical place to start. I would hope that we all can see how

important this for our profession.

 

Are you not interested in presence of a structure?

I reduce LR 3, 90% of the time. Sometimes I just put in even (in

reduction direction). I find this will soften the liver. Sometimes I

have gone in an tonified another LR point, if I still feel it needs

tonificaiton.

Just some thoughts about what has worked for me.

I read somewhere that LR 3 will reduce the blood pressure. Maybe the bp should

be looked at first.
