how do we signal the body we are doing a divergent treatment?

which 3 meridians make up the first ancestory of the 8 extrordianry meridians?

chong, ren and Du

this is known is our blueprint, it is also known as "the penetrating vessel" and sea of blood

chong

this has to do with the materials and resources that created us, it's the channel of bonding and treats relationship issues, valve or sphincter issues, feeling of lack of wholeness, and is known as the sea of yin

ren

this channel governs the separation from mother, functioning reflexes, senses, upright posture, development of curiosity,individuality, independence. It is the sea of yang

second ancestry involves which 2 channels? and deals with what?

yin wei and yang wei (linking), deal with our records about our life

records the changes of our structure, vessel of aging,cycles of 7/8, an imbalance may look like longing for the past/resistance to change

yin wei

records our action, cycle of birth, growth,maturiy, decline, death, the vessel of aging, an imbalance may be difficulty moving forward managing major life chage

yang wei

| the third ancestry is made of what channels?

| yin qiao, yang qiao, dai,

this is the vessel of one's stance in ilfe, excess=inner (yin) leg muscles are tight and outter (yang) muscles are flaccid...imbalance could also be retreat from the world

yin qiao (motility)

governs ability to feel spontaneous, "how comfortable a I with my environment?" imbalance=need to change the world, if in excess, outter leg muscles tight, inner leg muscles are flacid

yang qiao

the girdling vessel, links prenatal and postnatal qi (Spleen!),...may feel like the bottom half of your body is in cold water if imbalanced. this channel is like a receptacle for our unprocessed baggage

dai

opening point for the chong is

sp 4

opening point for the ren is

Lu 7

opening point for the du is

SI 3

opening point for the yin wei is

Pc 6...this is an important point its also the Luo pt of the Pc

opening pt for yang wei?

SJ 5...baisically same level as Pc 6, but its on the dorsal aspect of the arm, Pc 6 is on the yin aspect of the arm

yin qiao opening pt?

yang qiao opening pt?

Bl 62...yin and yang qiao pts also mirror each other and yin and yang aspects of the ankle
