LI
123
8 extras consist of
3 generations or ancestries
124
8 extras govern the flow of...
qi and blood in the primary channels
125
1st ancestry deals with
hereditary issues-creation of yin and yang
126
1st ancestry meridians are
chong
ren
du
127
chong is the sea of
blood
128
ren is the sea of
yin
129
du is the sea of
yang
130
chong gives birth to the
ren and du
131
ren is the vessel of
bonding
132
du is the vessel of
individuality
133
2nd ancestry deals with

138
3rd ancestry consists of
yin qiao, yang qiao, dai mai
139
yin qiao is the vessel of
one's stance
140
yin qiao excess sign
inner muscles tight, outer flaccid
141
yang qiao is the vessel of
one's stance
142
yang qiao excess sign
outer muscles tight, inner flaccid
143
dai mai is the vessel of
latency. a depository of post natal "stuff"
