Guest guest Posted July 22, 2005 Report Share Posted July 22, 2005 Long ago I sat down and made myself some neat color coded graphics of the 8 vessels running over a man's body. I made the vessels thicker and wider to give me the impression these are more like Oceans, and less like regular channels. The desktop s/ware I used could allow me to create the outline of the Oceans and then run color in these, which I had immense fun doing. Next I sat down to collate all symptoms and signs of 4 pairs of 8 Extraordinary vessels and set these up in a check list format. By now I know most symptoms by heart, but I incorporated the checklists in some of the workshop & distance learning workbooks so guys and gals can have fun diagnosing 8 Extra channel problems by simply running down the lists. This strategy allowed me to bypass most literature on 8 E vessels and help myself to an easier and accurate approach. One of these days I will separate out the 4 checklists and the graphics and make these available on their own. This way people can access these and not have to buy a whole course.
