Great Luo of Shaoyin

[Guest guest]

Steve (or anyone)

 

Could you say any more about the Great Luo of shaoyin? (If it relates to

Blood/emotional issues, I tend to think more about juejin)

 

Thanks,

Neil Pregozen

Well, all of the luo deal with blood/emotional issues, and the shaoyin

(heart-kidney relationship) addresses basic issues of embodiment (shen

animating jing and jing containing shen).

Steve,

 

Are you aware of or do you remember Jeffrey having mentioned anything regarding

specific point(s) associated with this luo?

 

Thanks,

Neil

Neil and everyone,

 

Please don't think me a " scold, " but I think it's important to mention that

while I use points as a short-hand for describing the trajectory, what I'm

actually talking about is the *trajectory* -- in this case of a branch of

the chongmai. Since the early Song Dynasty (about a thousand years ago)

there's been a great shift away from the channels toward emphasizing points.

So, I'm talking about a vessel here, rather than simply a collection of

points.

 

The great luo of *shaoyin* is associated with the fourth trajectory of the

post-natal *chongmai* -- the one that goes from *qichong* (St 30) to *

chongyang* (St 42) to the large toe. This aspect of chongmai is responsible

for synchronizing the individual's digestion (stomach, intestines, spleen)

of physical and experiential inputs, so that one digests them into

(relatively clear and smoothly flowing) qi and blood rather than fermenting

them into hopelessly entangled auto-intoxication (both physical and

metaphorical).

 

Peace and blessings,

Steve
