Hi David -

I hope you are well. Thanks for this question. I am taking the
assumption that: the liver houses the hun, lung houses the po, the
spleen houses the yi, kidney houses the zhi, and the heart houses the
shen. We can see the doors to the shen along the outer bladder shu
points. Taking these assertions and then applying the doctrine of
correspondences, those points that correct an imbalance in an organ,
allow that organ to more effectively provide domicile to that aspect
of shen and the self.

I see shen as a part of self - and this notion of self is both
consciousness and physical presence in the form of stable movement.

So - the compass model allows one to assess from a perspective that
transcends self: the directions. Returning to this methodology, it is
via the doctrine of correspondences that the shen are assessed here.
This is especially so given the use of the compass in the heart
position where the shen are housed. Then one goes to the corresponding
organ. The imbalance within that organ which contributes to a problem
with the shen settling there is addressed. It is profound to watch the
shen visually change in the eyes.

Please let me know your further thoughts.

Warmly,

Will
