• BL. 34 LOWER CREVICE

 

All these points can find 1 ½ cun …. That is meaning …. They localization is to fingers from the hand of the patient.

 

We have also soul points that are related with each organ and their feelings. Their localization is four fingers from the hand of the patient:

 

• BL. 42 DOOR OF THE CORPORAL SOUL. Soul point for Lungs: PO: Stays for the automatically “reflexions” and at the same time the physical memory (the physical affection of an event; Sadness, nostalgic, easy to cry, mourning, inadequacy. Even when a patient have had a bad start in life like for ex; been born too early or came to the world not in a natural way like cesarean birth, or have had a crisis right before or after birth.

 

• BL. 43 VITALS. Soul point for Pericardium: As the heart, has Pericardium an influence over a person emotional relationship to another, especially between couples. I some contexts Pericardium is calling as the circulation/sex, circulatory/sex. That is means that the organ can have an influence on the sexual secretion. It is well known that emotional relationships can be crucial for a person’s fertility.  And even there is a question about that be harps there is a connection between Du. 4 (MINGMEN) “This point’s information will read in the last segment of this article below”. Because it says that the function of the Pericardium is depending of the heat coming from MINGMEN

 

 

• BL. 44 MIND HALL. Soul point for Heart: SHEN: Stays for that we call intelligence ( conscience, thoughts, spirituality, and has also influence on the state of feelings); steady speeches that is hard to stop, moving around all things, stress, interruption of joy, hysterical, joy ( too much or too little), angst. 

 

• BL. 47 DOOR OF THE ETHEREAL SOUL. Soul point for Liver: HUN: Stays for the ability to separate the relevant from the irrelevant and at the same time is housing the mental memory (the mental affection of an event). The unconscious mind; is affecting the patient’s ability to plan their life, make decisions and make a goal for their environment. HUN is a very problematic soul. Is of course registering all the mental impressions a person gets thru his/hers life – including all of them who “stepped on your toes”. This stays fast in your memories, and if in a time it hasn’t be clear away mentally, can coming up later on as a physical problem or condition that liver is involved. At the same time a weakness in Blood Liver can give mental problems like f. ex. That the patient cannot foresee their environment, can be that an old anger  gives a weakness of Liver -  Blood or  Liver – YIN; Arrogant, aggressive, shouting, irritation, envy, anger, pain, bad sleep.

 

 

• BL. 48 Soul point for Gallbladder: The same as Liver. Even it says that Liver controls the ability to plan our life and everyday living, Gallbladder controls our ability to take decisions. Gallbladder is also the source of courage and initiative (too much or too little of these, can tell us about the health of this organ). Those mental activities can be quite a little bit complex. (Left I give you a picture here…. When the Liver had already planned and studied some possibilities, is not always enough for Gallbladder to take courage and initiative to make decisions, because the Small Intestine will be at the same time considers what is right and what is wrong. The Kidneys will give us the willpower to accomplish the goal/ plan. Then… forward…. The Heart by (SHEN) Consciousness will take a position to see if whatsoever can do it. You see….. How things are together????); Indecision, shy and helplessness even for the most minimal adversity.

 

• BL. 49 THOUGHT SHELTER. Soul point for Spleen: YI: Stays for concentration and meditation. Spleen is the house of thinking and concentration. It has the influence in our ability to think, learn, concentration and remembering. When the QI of this organ is normal, we will think and learn easily, and we will have a clear concentration and memory. If the QI is weak, will be hard to think and learn new things. We will be unfocused and will be hard to remember. On the other side…. Overdriving of study, mental work and concentration in overloaded periods of time, will weak spleen QI.

               Spleen, Heart and Kidneys have in different ways influence on thinking and remembering.

Spleen is mainly for thinking, concentration and memorizing by learning’s processes (studies)

Heart is mainly for the conscious way of thinking about life’s daily challenges, and controls the long times memory.

Kidney is mainly for the nourishment of the brain (margin) and controls the daily short times memory.

These phenomena can see on the old people where the essence of kidney (the vital energy) holding to be empty and the brain cannot be nourished. They have a bad short times memory, but they remember very clear every happened for many years ago (Heart)

At the same time can even students, scientists or similar be absentmindedly, because the raising of thinking and concentration (Spleen), and forget everything about the daily goals (Kidney); speculation, worry, meditation, depression, affecting memory, nightmare, somnambulism, dizziness, melancholy, lack of appetite and total weakness.

 

• BL.50 Soul point for Stomach: this point I didn’t have it at school. I just made my own investigations and I saw that this organ has also a soul aspect as well. The stomach is the center of the human and is the partner of the Spleen that is belongs to belongs to earth element, which is also a center where the other elements spinning around as fire, tree, water and metal. But I know that as center everything feels in the Stomach; f. ex; if a person who always looking for attention, if they don’t get it, the attention will come inwards and it is manifesting in vomiting. Especially people who are very focus on their own ego or a sensitive people as well. The Stomach is also call as the central section of the nerve system. A mostly person who has a Stomach condition are always talking about their selves. Its sounds like…. Me, me, me, etc. But is not in the books; hysteria, arousal, need for be alone, don’t care about the environment, nightmare, depression.

 

• BL. 51 VITALS DOOR. For triple warmer. Good for treatment according to the “illustrated Classic of Acupuncture points found on the bronze model” says that this point is indicated for a feeling of tightness below the heart and diseases of the breast in women as well BL. 22

 

• BL. 52 WILL POWER ROOM. Soul point for kidneys. ZI: Reinforces the will power and determination, depression, lacks of metal strength to make an effort to get better and lift the spirit; groans, passive, gasping, phobia, manias, fear, angst.

 

• BL. 53 BLADDER VITALS. Soul point for Bladder. On the mental plan the interruptions in the Bladder can brings negative feelings as f. ex; jealousy, misbelieve and envy.

 

• BL. 54 LOWERMOST EDGES. Lower back ache that is radiating to buttocks and legs along the Bladder channel due to obstruction by cold and damp.

 

We have a very important point between the th 2 and th 3 that is named DU. 4 MINGMEN OR THE GATE OF LIFE. It tonifies the Kidneys and warms the fire of the Gate Of Vitality “Kidney Yang Deficiency”; chilliness, abundant clear urination, tiredness, lack of vitality, depression, weak knees and legs, internal cold, related to pre- heaven Qi, strengthens the original Qi, chronic weakness on a physical and mental level, sexual disorders, impotence, premature ejaculation or nocturnal emissions, incontinence, enuresis, lower abdominal pain and uterus pain manifesting in dysmenorrheal or infertility.
