Understanding Qi and QiGong

We are part of nature and its cycles. If we go against natural cycles sickness results, so it is in our best interest to follow the way of nature. This is the meaning of Tao. This is an excellent video discourse and demonstration overviewing principles of Qi, Tao, Qigong, acupuncture and Chinese herbs. Cultivating understanding and practice in the way Qi flows, and knowing how to regulate it correctly, one should be able to live a healthy, long life.

Acupuncture Meridians and Points 腧穴

Acupuncture Points are sites on the body where acupuncture needles are placed, tuning in to the viscera as well as energetic governances. Acupuncturists, as well as Marial Arts Practitioners as well as Tuina, Shiatsu, and other light-body-workers guide QI by using the layout off points of energy along these meridians. The ‘Cun’ is one aspect of point location used to find acupuncture points, a measurement relative to the proportions of each patient’s body. From a research stance, acupoint sites measure higher electrical charge and conductivity, as well as being concentrated neural and vascular conduits.

Intriguing Research of Acupuncture Meridians

Two French physicians have done a series of research experiments that make visible the acupuncture meridian system. Jean-Claude Darras, M.D. and Professor Pierre de Vernejoul, M.D. injected radioactive isotopes into the acupuncture points of human patients and traced isotope uptake by gamma-camera imaging. Their experiments found that the isotopes migrated 30 centimeters along the classical Chinese meridian system pathways during the course of 4 to 6 minutes. In contrast, injecting the isotopes into points at random on the body produced no such results. Further tests demonstrated that the migration was not through the vascular or lymphatic system.
