These points are all important and frequently used. They are located among the powerfull points related to the five elements (wu shu), in the last segment of the four limbs and extend their effects far away inside the trunk or the head. Blending the rich poetic quality of the point names with their practical application, this lecture presents an in-depth study of points from research into both the classical and modern Chinese literature.

In humans, the spirits are the heart of life. They found being, enlight awareness and guide behavior. This lecture studies the meaning and place of the spirits in Chinese Medicine and examines how they are expressed in each of the zang organ: Shen, Hun, Po, Yi (intent), Zhi (will). Through the analysis of the Chinese characters and the study of medical and non-medical texts from the Chinese tradition, we see the salient features of each of them, their relationships and their hierarchy. This will allow the practitioner to understand better the importance of the spirits in good health as well as in pathology. This lecture explores these issues from their presentation in philosophical and medical texts, mainly the Inner Classic of the Yellow Emperor.

Besides the five zang and six fu which form the twelve viscera in charge of the organism, there is a series of six functions, called the Six Extraordinary Fu- the brain, the bone marrow, the bones, the vital circulations (Mai), the gallbladder, and the uterus. A special study is made of the character for “Mai” which can be translated either as “vital circulations” or the qi that rise and infiltrate everywhere, allowing things to propagate and move.
