Divergent channel energetics
|
*all branch from primary ch
*begin superficially near major articulations (knee, hip, shoulder) *go deep to internal organs *end at head or neck *contain wei qi (goes to organs) *primary ch. communicate w/ organs via divergents |
|
|
Divergents of primary yang ch
|
*originate on limbs
*enter organs in abd. or thorax *resurface @ neck *rejoing primary yang ch. from which it diverged |
|
|
Divergents of primary yin ch
|
*usu originate on limbs
*parallel yang divergent of its pair *join w/primary yang ch. in neck or head |
|
|
the six confluences
|
*** all divergent ch. join w/ 6 primary yang ch. on neck or head
*the joining of the div ch. of each pair of channels *the div. ch of yin/yang pair unite at head or neck on primary yang ch. |
|
|
Fx of Divergents
|
*strengthen yin/yang relationship among primary ch
*strengthen yin/yang ch. relationship with the organs *bring qi to the face + head (only LV + HT yin ch. go to head/face, mostly primary yang ch. go there - via 6 confluences yin ch. bring energy there *integrate neglected areas of body (both organs + areas) |
|
|
Transverse Luo ch.
|
*link coupled yin/yang ch
*go from luo of 1 ch. to yuan source on its paired ch. *regulate ying (channel) qi *there are 16 transverse luo ch. a.from luo of prim yin to yuan of prim. yang b. from luo of prim yang to yuan of prim yin c. from CV 15 disperse abd d. from GV 1 travel to head e. great luo of SP -- chest f. great luo of ST (18) disperse chest/upper abd = considerd 16th transverse luo ch. |
|
|

|
*part of transverse luo
*begin @ luo pt of primary ch 8approx follow primary +/or paired ch. *12 longitudinal luo ch *help prevent imbalances in primary ch. |
|
