This is my understanding:

 

wei qi involves unconscious processes of our body.  the regulation of body temperature, the exterior, digestion, protection from external influences, bits of respiration.  wei qi circulates outside the primary channels in the cou li.  the space between the vessels, skin, and channels.  The wei qi circulates within the tendinomuscular meridians, and is responsible for muscular armoring,  patterned responces, and movement.

 

ying qi involves the conscious process of our bodies.  it flows within the primary channels.

 

 

A strong clinical tool is to be able to bring conscoiusness into unconscious processes.  harmonizing the ying and the wei.  Bringing attention to our patients unconscious tendencies.  Examples can be bring awareness to their breathing, residual muscle tension, body armoring, predicable behavioral, emotional, spritual patterns.

 

as clinicians , it is very helpful to aid the the development of our patients center.  Drawing from Nan-Jing source theory, once the source is firm and resolute, the rest of the bodies energetic and physiological systems will reflect this strength and balance manifesting Radiant health. 

 

It is my experience that when someones center/source is out of balance their patterns/ lives become inefficient.  As their bodies develop greater muscle tension, ineffiecient respiratory patterning, and unconscious behavioral patterns their qi becomes depleted, stagnant, and contributes to future pathological processes.  this can be from the greater energy requirement to exist to hold this extra tension, to excute the continious unconscious behavioral patterns, and from the lack of oxygen supplied by inefficient breathing.   

 

examples of unconscoius behavioral patterns may be tapping a pencil on a table, twisting ones hair when interested, or turning away from people when engaged in verbal communication.  All of these behaviors are unneccessary , unconscoius, energy sapping events that contribute to the health or state of disease of our pateints.  Many of these unconscious behavioral patterns exhibit consistent qualities of the wei qi.  they circulate quickly, they are unconscious, involve the tendion muscular meridians...

 

bringing awareness to these events can liberate the wei qi and allow it to harmonize with the ying qi by moving deep into the body.  It is my understanding that this will contribute to the health of Source.

 

bringing pulse diagnosis into the dialogue.  Using the six channel method and the night time wei qi method to diagnose the potential blocks in the movement of wei qi should help to awaken our patients to a state of greater self realization.  Combinging appropriate acupuncture treatments, herbal prescriptions, and clinicial biofeedback the practitoner has a many tools that can contribute to complete client care.

 

Today, so many people exist in a state of passive war with themselves and the world around them.  Zombies exist everywhere!  seriously, think about this.  Being victims of their past, their patterning (which may have been adaptable at one time but is inappropriate now), and everyone else.  Clinically, if we are able to release this constraint to allow them to express their true capacity, their true design to be able to explore, and genuinely connect.  To love more.   to enter into the qi gong state, to merge with the source.  The true state of tonificiation, unconditional love.    

 

This is where i am playing.

 

 

would anyone care to comment, correct, contribute?
