Q

Bl1 Notes

A

Ling Shu Ch. 5 places this point, described as the “gates of life”, a reference to the eyes, as the end of Taiyang with Zhi Yin Bl-67 as the root. In cases of sudden illness the whole channel is to be examined for surplus and deficiency and the pathology removed.

This point is also indicated in issues with the Second Level of Manifestation of the Soul, or Svadhishthana chakra manifesting in deficiency in ability to make subconscious associations, along with Mingmen Du-4 and Yongquan Kid-1. They represent individuality, ability to see polarity, make separations and move into the world (Yuen, 2005, 3 Spirits & 7 Souls).

When used as part of a Divergent Meridian treatment is paired with the He Sea point, or less commonly with the Yuan Source or Luo Connecting point of the channels (Chace, The Merging of Ways).
