acupuncture polemical question   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #1237 of 2208 |
Hello, I have been learning acupuncture for several years in 2 different schools
and I am surprised by a recurring difference in their conception, which in my
view is fundamental:
1/ according to some, the sequence of how the perverse energy enters the body
goes like this: tae yang/shao yang/yangming/tae yin/xue yin/ shao yin
2/ according to others, the order is reversed in the last two levels in yang and
in yin and therefore goes like this: tae yang/yang ming/shao yang/tae yin/shao
yin/xue yin.

I believe this fundamental difference has important implications and I would
welcome your comments to contribute putting an end to this recurring bone of
contention among various schools.
Kind Regards
Gerard

thanks for this very interesting reply. But the problem remains in the yang layers, as the reverse order not only refers to jueyin/shaoyin but also to shaoyang...
