What is a SOURCE POINT?
How does it work on Yin vs. Yang channels? |
A Shu-Stream point, where Qi flow is so substantial yet can be so easily manipulated.
Source points easily boost the power of their associated organ. They do this by distributing Source Qi from the Kidneys to the rest of the body via the Triple Burner. Yin channel Source points contain a small reservoir of Source Qi, provided to them by the Triple Burner. Yang channel Source points moderate the influx or egress of Yang Qi associated with that channel. |
