Lesson 1: An Introduction to Sound Healing

In the beginning, there was a sound. And from the sound all things were created. Some say the sound was Ohm, Om, or Amen. Ohm is the sound of Home. It takes us home to ourselves and our sacred connection with Source. We begin our healing journey with the sound of Ohm.

Chanting or listening to the sound of Ohm is soothing, regulating, grounding, expansive, and connects us with Source. It is likened to a mother’s calming hum, to the heartbeat of the Universe, to the sounds of our mother’s womb. It assists us in returning to ourselves.

There are two kinds of acoustic expressions. One is referred to as divine or spiritual acoustic expression and the other is physical acoustic expression, which is what we hear with our ears.

Divine or spiritual acoustic expression can be defined as the Music of the Spheres. The Music of the Spheres refers to the planetary sounds that are created in the Universe. Hildegard von (of) Bingen, also known as Saint Hildegard (1098 to 1179), was a Benedictine abbess, writer, composer, philosopher, mystic, visionary, and medical practitioner and author during the High Middle Ages. She could hear and interpret the divine acoustic expressions of the angelic realm. She accessed these tones in her healing practices, and taught the nuns to sing the tones and release the vibrations to heal the people and the Earth.

NASA has recorded the sounds of the planets. Each planet has its own tone and frequency and when they are recorded as one we hear the grand symphony created by our Universe. Sound and vibration is everywhere and we are sound and vibration.

In Classical Five Element Theory the ears are associated with the Kidneys. Deep within the Kidneys the primordial wisdom and ancestral aspects of the Self are held. When listening to the tuning forks or being influenced by their vibration in the auric field &/or on the body, the primordial wisdom & ancestral aspects of the Self are accessed reminding the being of its own natural curative abilities. The sound and vibration aids in the integration of 3 Treasures (Body, Mind & Spirit) which assists us in aligning with our highest potential.

Sound healing has been practiced since the beginning of humankind. I believe it began with the first mother’s cooing to welcome and soothe her newborn child. Chanting has been performed all around the world for centuries to connect, invoke and encourage healing. Each organ has a sound and can be revitalized through toning its sound. The healing potential of sound is truly amazing.

Sound healing is based on the principle that everything in the Universe is made of vibration. Sound healing is possible because the human body is not solid. It is an energy being that is held together by sound and vibration. Like a well-tuned musical instrument, the body is a rhythmic, harmonious form unless its vibratory field is disrupted. Disease can indicate we have gone out of tune or that the vibrational rate of the body has lost its rhythm.

Disease can be defined as any disorder, disruption or disharmony in the Body, Mind or Spirit. Sound, vibration and music have long been a part of our response to disease and illness in our quest for well-being. The inter-relationship between sound, music, health and the environment is inextricable.

For the First Peoples cultures throughout the world, the use of sound has been and continues to be an important part of ancient shamanic practices. Shamans employ sound in their healing ceremonies with their drums, flutes, bells, rattles, voices and other sound instruments, calling forth balance and creating harmony in the people, the Earth and the Universe.

Sound healing is all around us. Music, song and the spoken word have healing effects: the voice of a loved one, the sound of a child’s laughter, a stranger’s kind hello are just a few examples. Others experience the healing in the vibrations that emanate from nature: a gentle breeze, the rhythmic waves of the ocean, a cat’s familiar purr, a bird singing in the morning or crickets at dusk.

Our lives are busy and full and often our daily travels take us through noisy environments as we, for example, run errands, shop for groceries and drive in traffic. In our homes it is not unusual to hear the sounds of airplanes overhead, lawn mowers and leaf blowers, and so forth. It can be difficult to turn off the unwanted noise, especially once those unwelcomed sounds begin to resonate in our bodies. The stress produced by unwanted noise can cause our adrenals to overwork putting our bodies into “fight or flight” states of alertness. This results in a state of imbalance and can create detrimental patterns of illness or negative resonance.

To understand the use of sound healing, it is helpful to realize that all things vibrate: atoms, the cells in our bodies – all living matter – the Earth, her forests and oceans all pulse and vibrate with life. Since our bodies are largely composed of water, and water conducts sound, the body is a perfect resonator for sound. Up to 80% of our body is made of water. Sound waves travel approximately 4 times faster in water. This makes the body an excellent receptor and conductor of sound and vibration.

Positive physical effects of sound or music on the human body

Promotes the flow of qi in and around the body
Opens the meridians (energetic pathways), creating a harmonious flow of energy (qi), alleviating stagnation and relieving pain
Relaxes and reduces muscular tension
Relaxes adrenals, relieves stress and brings the body into balance
Promotes sound sleep
Stimulates deep and balanced breathing
Calming – facilitates balance and homeostasis in the body
Encourages the body’s natural healing process
Reduces joint pain and swelling by increasing natural anti-inflammatory compounds
Promotes the healing of strained muscles, tendons and ligaments
Increases bone density
Energizing and revitalizing
Speeds up the body’s metabolism
Regulates blood pressure and circulation
Supports the digestive system
Influences the nervous system
Creates a natural trance
Sound effects every atom and every cell
Enhances all bodywork and energetic therapies

Sound can excite peptides in the brain and stimulate the production of endorphins, which are natural opiates secreted by the hypothalamus, which produces a feeling of natural euphoria, shifting mood and emotion.

Listening to and experiencing the sound vibration of Ohm helps to release the unwelcome noise or resonance from our physical and energetic bodies that may be contributing to illness. The grounding Earth tone of Ohm invites the adrenals to relax enabling the parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous system to come to balance. Once we clear the unwanted sound, we are able to find and be in the quiet within. This healing resonance or “body tune-up” is calming, soothing and relaxing and can be revitalizing and energizing.

In Modern Day sound therapies, many different tools can be used for healing including one’s own voice. Some of the tools are:

Cymatic Therapy – The application of sound with the use of specific frequencies via a hand held massager.
Lithotripsy – A treatment, typically using ultrasound shock waves by which kidney stone or other calculus is broken into small particles that can be passed out of the body.
Ultrasound – A diagnostic imaging tool that uses sound waves to produce images of structures within your body.?
Tuning Fork Therapy – The application of sound to the meridian system, acupoints, chakras and auric field utilizing specifically tuned frequencies that correspond to the organs of the body &/or the planets.
Toning – Using voice tones over specific areas of the body to help shift blockages of energy.
Singing Bowls – Tibetan metal bowls and crystal bowls are used to create frequencies and can be used over the body or even applied to the body where the surface area is flat.
Gongs – Gongs can be used to create sound in the room which will resonate into and through the body. Chanting – Group or individual chanting is used to balance the body’s natural frequency or to move energy blocks. It is also used to help obtain different states of consciousness.

Lesson 2: Sound & Vibration

Compiled by Marjorie de Muynck

“Sound is the hearing part of Vibration

and Vibration is the feeling part of Sound”

…. Marjorie de Muynck

Sound is energy; it is the basis of form and shape.

The laws governing Quantum Physics demonstrate that everything in the Universe is made up of vibrational fields, including the human body.

Sound vibration communicates with the body. Every cell is made of vibration.

Human, animals and plants – all life form communicate with one another via sound.

Vibrating bodies respond to sound. When an object, such as a tuning fork, is activated it begins to vibrate. The vibration pushes the surrounding particles, causing them to move, creating waves of energy, which emanate from the tuning fork. This sound wave is called kinetic energy.

Sound waves are three dimensional. Sound waves that are closer together produce a higher frequency or pitch. Sound waves that are farther apart produce a lower frequency or pitch.

Figure 1 – Low and High Frequencies

Both high and low frequency vibration possess incredible therapeutic potential.

Frequency is determined by how fast or slow the sound waves move, and is known as cycles per second (cps) or hertz (hz).

The Mid Ohm Tuning Fork has a healing frequency of 136.10 cps. The term “hertz” (abbreviated hz) is interchangeable with cps and is more commonly used to designate tuning fork frequency.

Sound and Vibration create recognizable shapes and forms. i.e. A yantra is the geometrical representation of a mantra or sacred sound.

The vibratory essence of sound affects the inner walls of nerves and blood vessels.

Sound and Vibration can strengthen the cells and tissues, and discourage unhealthy cells.

Lesson 3: Ohm, Octaves and Overtones

Ohm

In Hindu cosmology, Ohm is considered a Source Tone. Ohm is a seed syllable used in mantras. According to ancient Sanskrit religious texts, the syllable, mantra and vibration of Ohm is said to be the primordial sound of the Universe. For this reason, the Ohm vibration is thought to contain all sound; just as white light contains all color. Ohm is considered sacred, safe and healing. Its sound vibration and iconic symbol have been represented in spiritual practices and interpreted musically for thousands of years by cultures throughout the world. Other spellings of Ohm include Aum and Om, and the phonetic spelling Aoum.

Mid Ohm (136.1 hz) is very close to C or C# (128 hz). Ohm is an earth tone. Its calculated frequency is scientifically based and its sound vibration is spiritually upheld throughout the world. Resonating with the Earth is beneficial – it is our home tone. Whether chanting, humming, listening or feeling the sound/vibration of Ohm your Body, Mind & Spirit will open to find balance within and connect with Source. This is why the Mid Ohm fork is a safe and effective tool to begin our tuning fork training with.

When an organism is out of balance, it becomes weakened and vulnerable. Resonating with Ohm positively affects our biological rhythms and circadian clock. We begin to sync or “entrain” with natural cycles which enable us to find our balance. Balance and homeostasis are essential to our health and create a positive environment for healing to occur.

Ohm is clinically shown to be a safe and therapeutic sound frequency. Because the Earth is our home and gives us life, the fundamental tone of Ohm is an excellent choice for healing work. The earth tone of Ohm helps connect us with something natural, sacred, and familiar.

Octaves

The term octave comes from the Latin octavus, or the female derivative octava which means eight (8). On its side, the 8 represents infinity, and upright, the number eight suggests the axiom “As Above, So Below.”

The octave is omnipresent in the natural world. It is an earthly and cosmic phenomenon found in mathematics and science as well as in music and poetry. Examples of octave duplication or repetition are found in the unfurling patterns of plants and mineral formations – the nautilus for example – and in the shapes of galaxies. The double helix of DNA and the Caduceus are made up of spiraling of patterns of eight build on top of one another.

Octaves are determined mathematically by multiplying the root frequency (e.g., 136.1 hz Mid Ohm) times two, for the next octave up (277.2 hz High Ohm), or by dividing the root frequency in half, for the next octave down (68.05 hz Low Ohm).

In music, an octave refers to a series or range of eight notes or tones including the root and the octave which have the same name. In poetry, an octave is a rhythmic group of eight lines of verse. Octaves are also present in cultural practices. The seven days of the weeks are like the seven tones of a musical scale, where the eighth day or tone begins a new cycle: the eighth is the octave. Sunday is the same day of the week but a farther place in time. Do is the same musical note only at a higher or lower octave. An octave is the distance between two like tones.

Here are some examples of octaves:

Notes	C	D	E	F	G	A	B	C
Scale	Do	Re	Mi	Fa	So	La	Ti	Do
Days	Sunday	Monday	Tuesday	Wednesday	Thursday	Friday	Saturday	Sunday
Number	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8
Color	Red	Orange	Yellow	Green	Sky Blue	Indigo	Violet	Red
Chakra	Base	Sacral	Solar	Heart	Throat	3rd Eye	Crown	Transpersonal

The octave is the primary overtone. It is the closest tone to the fundamental and the simplest numerical ratio to the fundamental. An octave is the most prevalent and vibrant interval in music and nature. All tone occurs within the octave.

Octaves are found in shade of color. Lighter shades of blue are higher octaves than their darker counterparts. Octaves occur in the rings of trees, in weather patterns, and in molecular vibratory phenomena.

In sound healing, the octave is tremendously effective because it creates movement along the axis of a root tone, in the case Ohm, providing latitude to move up and down, with higher and lower octaves. The healing aspect of the octave exists in its affirming repetition, and the movement it creates. It is noteworthy that the octave is the most frequently occurring interval in the overtone series.

The body in its natural intelligence is able to assimilate Ohm and all its beautiful overtones, and safely utilize these healing properties on a vibratory level.

Overtones

In the realm of sound and music, an overtone is a harmonic that naturally occurs from a fundamental sound. Playing a didgeridoo, singing, toning and chanting are all activities that produce overtones. Overtones also result from motors and engines, a cat’s purring, the thrum of insects, plucked guitar strings, hammered metal – sounds we hear every day.

A rainbow is one of the best visual examples to demonstrate the phenomena of overtones. A rainbow is an arc or bow of prismatic colors that appears in the sky. Within one primary color band you will see overtones (various lighter shades) of that color. Consider the primary band of color as the fundamental.

Overtones are always present, even though they may not be audible to the human ear. The most frequently occurring overtone is the octave. When you activate or listen to the Ohm Tuning Forks, you may hear and/or experience their resulting overtones through listening, and through skin and bone conduction.

The therapeutic potential of the overtones of Ohm is tremendous. The sound vibration of the root tone of Ohm and its overtones reach the body through the resonant chambers of the ear and through bone, which are both excellent resonators because of their hollow structure and high water content. Each person’s body will create different overtones based on their physical and energetic make-up, overall health, and individual needs at the time. The body is like a landscape. Imagine sound is like water that is naturally drawn to and absorbed first by the dry or “deficient” areas within that land or body-scape.

With respect to tuning forks, overtones are the resulting unstruck tones that occur when a tone is struck or activated. For example, the Low Ohm Tuning Fork (68.05 hz) produces a low struck tone, and subsequent higher tones. These higher tones are overtones. In some cases, the overtones are so abundant that it makes it difficult to hear the fundamental tone. This is often true with quartz crystal and Tibetan-style singing bowls.

Lesson 4: Tuning Fork Technique

Tuning forks are lightweight sound healing tools. When activated their vibration is easily directed on the body, and in the energetic field around the body. With tuning forks, sound energy is uniquely and effectively transferred to the body, making them easy tools to incorporate into a wide range of healing modalities. The purity of the intended tone (and its subsequent overtones) creates a sound environment that facilitates homeostasis and is conductive to healing.

Parts of a Tuning Fork

The weights on the mid and lower frequency tuning forks add mass, which lowers frequency. Thus, a greater amount of energy is transferred to the stem of weighted tuning forks, which is ideal for applying and directing sound vibration onto the body.

The length of a tuning fork is another factor in determining its frequency. Other factors include width, thickness and elasticity. Since the width, thickness and metal are generally constants, the frequency is changed by making tuning forks different lengths. As a general rule, the greater the mass of the tuning fork, the lower the frequency. Longer tuning forks have greater masses and lower frequencies.

How to Hold a Tuning Fork

There are two schools of thought on this one. One says that it is best to hold the fork at the throat, while the other says that it is best to hold the fork at the stem. If you decide to hold the fork at the throat be careful not to hold too high up on the tines as it will dampen the vibration. If you are holding the fork on the stem it may cause cramping in your hand. You decide for yourself what is comfortable.

How to Activate a Tuning Fork

Take a deep breath, relax your hand, wrist and arm, and strike the grooved edge of the weighted end of the tuning fork on the activator. Use the motion of your wrist to activate the tuning fork, as opposed to using your entire arm and shoulder. Make sure you activate the tuning fork with enough energy to provide a strong and lasting vibration.

Wearing an Activator

The adjustable strap fits around your thigh, and allows you to freely move around a table or mat while re-activating the tuning forks during a treatment. Wearing the activator leaves both hands free for tuning fork application. Some therapists choose to wear two activators, one on each leg, finding it better facilitates good body mechanics and adds to the pace and rhythm of treatment.

To maximize the sustain (length of vibration) and minimize the sound of the “hit” on the activator, strike the tuning fork at an angle on the ribbed edge of the weight. Keep your shoulder, arm and wrist relaxed as you activate the tuning fork.

How Long will a Tuning Fork Vibrate?

The vibration of a well-activated tuning fork can sustain for up to 20-30 seconds. Factors influencing the length of vibration are the location of application and the individual’s needs at the time of treatment. If the vibration dampens quickly, check to make sure that you are not holding the tuning fork too high up on the tines. Another explanation for the tuning fork losing its vibration quickly could be that the body is rapidly taking in the sound. Earlier, the body was described as a landscape that gathers moisture when needed; sound is like water being drawn to the dry (deficient) areas. When an area is saturated with water, the wet ground will not continue to absorb as much or as quickly as if it were dry ground. The same concept applies to how the sound is absorbed by the body.

The speed at which the vibration is absorbed can be thought of diagnostically. In some areas the sound vibration will rapidly be absorbed indicating the area, organ or meridian is depleted. These areas of the body will benefit from additional sound application. With repeated application, the muscle and tissue will begin to soften or relax. Now the sound vibration will be sustained for a longer period, as the body is now measurably less “thirsty” or deficient in the area being worked on.

Number of Applications

The individual’s needs at the time and the area of the body being treated will guide your decision regarding the number of applications. Some places will need only one application or pass, while others may need more. If you are not sure, then apply the tuning forks three times. After the vibration has ended, sound is still traveling through the body. Some people report they feel the sound for several hours to a few days after a treatment. Your body in its natural healing intelligence will utilize the sound it needs.

Applying the activated tuning forks 2-3 times to the same area or point on the body is usually sufficient; however, more applications are appropriate if the body continues to rapidly absorb the sound in that area. With practice you will be able to gauge the effect of the sound vibration and begin to sense how often to apply the tuning forks to the body. I like to apply the forks to a point 3 times. I believe the first activation brings forth the wisdom stored in the acupoint for the Body, the second activation for the Mind and the last activation for the Spirit. In Classical Chinese Medicine we are seen as 3 Treasures comprised of Body, Mind & Spirit.

How to Care for Tuning Forks

To clean, wipe the tuning forks with a soft cloth, particularly the bottom of the stem, moistened with a dab of tea tree, lemon, or peppermint oil as a non-toxic disinfectant.

Please note: the weighted ends of the tuning forks should not be removed or adjusted as this will change their precision tuning.

Lesson 5: Acu-Points

Measurements

Measurements are indicated in cun (pronounced soon). I have maintained use of this term because it occurs throughout the acupuncture literature, although it is often expressed as “inches” or with the inch mark (“).

Lesson 8: What is Chi?

Simply put chi is the Chinese word for energy. Some other names include ki, qi, prana, mana, life-force. It is the motivating and animating force of everything in our world, solar system and universe.

In Nature nothing exists or happens without Chi. There would be no Spring, Summer, Fall or Winter. There would be no gestation, birth, growth, ripening, decay or death. In all living beings chi is responsible for the movement of blood and body fluids, the organs ability to function, and the ability of the mind to think. It flows through the meridians (energy pathways) of the body. This chi or life-energy is responsible for nourishing all aspects of the body, mind & soul. Without chi nothing is moved or transformed.

An old Chinese expression says that Chi is the Commander of Blood, but Blood is the Mother of Chi. This means that wherever chi is to be found, the blood will follow. On the other hand, it is the blood that nourishes the chi. This is one of the core ideas in traditional Chinese medicine. Blood requires chi to move it. Without the chi the blood would be nothing more than an inanimate puddle of blood. There would be no movement, the blood would not flow. On the other side of this relationship without blood the chi would have no nourishment to enable it to create motion. They both rely on each other.

Chi/energy is not a magical substance. It has alchemical qualities because Chi/energy never ceases to exist, it only changes form.

Prenatal Chi (Jing/Essence)	Postnatal Chi (Daily Chi)
Spark of life semen & egg meet	Birth
Energy from parents	Must acquire chi as it is no longer supplied
Overseen by the Kidney	Overseen by the Spleen
Extraordinary Vessels are formed

In our day to day lives we live on our Postnatal Chi & we draw on our Prenatal Chi in emergencies.

Lesson 9: The Extraordinary Vessels

The Meridian System

In the body there are 12 meridians associated with the organs of the body. These are referred to as Regular Meridians. The 12 meridians have acupoints of their own along their pathways. The 12 meridians combine to create one Grand Meridian.

There are an additional 8 energy pathways. These are known as the 8 Extraordinary Vessels. They are called extraordinary not because they are strange but because they are truly marvelous. These energy pathways begin to form at the moment of conception. They govern how we will create ourselves in body, mind and spirit. The Extraordinary Vessels assist us in our creation from pure energy to physical form, they guide us through our developmental changes and growth, and they govern our decay. They leap into action when we are very ill or in emergency situations. They are amazing!!!

Of the 8 Extraordinary Vessels only 2 have acupoints of their own along their pathways. They are the Conception Vessel and the Governing Vessel which run up the front and back of the body.

The other 6 Extraordinary Vessels have no independent acupoints of their own. They utilize acupoints along the 12 Regular Meridians to form their vessel. They are the Penetrating Vessel, Belt Vessel, Yin & Yang Regulator Vessels and the Yin & Yang Bridge Vessels.

Each Extraordinary Vessel has unique and special purposes. These will be explored shortly.

How Do the Eight Extraordinary Vessels Come to Be? or Our Personal Big Bang Theory

In the beginning there is a Spark of Life when the sperm enters the egg that initiates the creation of the Governing and Conception Vessels. A sound/vibration is emitted into the Universe. At this moment a very special aspect of our Soul, called the Hun, hears the sound and enters this energetic mixture. According to Classical Five Element Theory the Hun is the part of Soul that reincarnates, the one who holds the plan for the novel of all of our lifetimes (chapters). I believe this explains how we choose our parents and lineage. The Governing Vessel rises up the posterior energetic aspect of the being and the Conception Vessel rises up the anterior energetic aspect of the being. Their connection forms the Central Channel. Next the Penetrating Vessel rises up infusing us with Ancestral Energy. The Belt Vessel wraps itself around this energetic being and begins to translate these Prenatal energies into a physical form. The Yin & Yang Regulator Vessels and Yin & Yang Bridge Vessels step into action and the skeleton and the internal organs are developed.

About the Extraordinary Vessels

CENTRAL CHANNEL (Ren Mai & Du Mai)

Master Points:

Lu7 – Conception Vessel

SI3 – Governing Vessel

Coupled Points:

K6 – opposite side

B62 – opposite side

The Central Channel comes first. It is theorized to be the energy that finds a home in the developing human form at the moment the sperm enters the egg; that indeed it governs the creation of the form.

The Central Channel along with the Penetrating Vessel can be used to rebuild or balance the energy of the body at a deep constitutional level. They share the function of maintaining defensive qi over the abdomen, thorax, and back. The Governing Vessel in particular influences the back, the spine, the back of the neck and the back of the head. It is the “Sea of the Yang Channels”.

The Conception Vessel influences the thorax, abdomen (upper and lower), the lungs, throat and face. It is the “Sea of the Yin Channels”, and as such is important in all reproductive issues, particularly in women, as it directly influences menstruation, fertility, conception, pregnancy, childbirth, and menopause.

In addition, both the Governing and Conception Vessels influence emotional and spiritual balancing, through their connection with chakras and the Original/Prenatal energy. Balance around the central core, such as left and right side balance, can be maintained with the Central Channel.

Benefits:

Balances both sides of the body
Regulates mental, nervous and reproductive functions
Governs the spinal column
Balances the energy centers along the spine (chakras)
Our Primal Yin energies. How we mother and nourish ourselves is influenced by our Conception Vessel.
Our Primal Yang energies. How we father, govern and protect ourselves is influenced by our Governing Vessel.

Indications for Use:

Intestinal pain, spasm, vomiting and constipation.
Colds, and sore throats, coughing with cold mucous, stagnant throat or spasms, headaches from colds, swollen and red eyes.
Night sweating, post-partum sweating, inability to sweat.
Pain in the muscles, tendons and bones, pain in the lumbar and back, stiffness in the back of the neck, pain in the shin, knee and thigh, numbness and spasms in the hands, arms and legs.
Emergency revival – fainting, trauma, emotional upsets.
Spiritual / emotional balancing and Kundalini blockages.
Inability to mother and nourish self.
Inability to father, govern and protect self.

PENETRATING AND BELT VESSELS (Chong Mai & Dai Mai)

Master Points:

Sp4 – Penetrating Vessel

GB41 – Belt Vessel

Coupled Points:

P6 – opposite side

TW5 – opposite side

The Belt and Penetrating Vessels are theorized to exist in the developing form as early as the second cell division. The four new cells give a sense of the quadrants of the human form – left and right, top and bottom, with the Central Channel governing the left/right, and the Belt Vessel the top/bottom.

The Penetrating Vessel is a close sister to the Conception Vessel in function and pathway, and indeed together they can be used to rebuild or balance the energy of the body at a deep constitutional level. They share the function of maintaining defensive qi over the abdomen, thorax, and back. The Penetrating Vessel influences the abdomen, uterus, chest, and heart. It is the fundamental connection between the Pre-Heaven and Post-Heaven qi.

Benefits:

Regulates and stores chi
Regulates menstruation
Revitalizes sexual organs
Receives information and programming from our Ancestral energies
Influences our Ancestral energies
Reminds us that we have everything that we need for this journey
Illuminates our true self

Indications for Use:

Abdominal problems such as spasms, contractions and weakness.

Psychic balancing.
Helps clients who have forgotten who they are; lost connection to their heart; and their purpose.
Ancestral and intergenerational programming and imprinting.
Intergenerational trauma.
Rebirthing.
Infertility.

The Belt Vessel is the only horizontal flow in the body; all vertical flows pass through it and must be nourished by it. The Belt Vessel has 3 very important functions:

It integrates, regulates, and harmonizes the functions of the other vessels.

It provides a link between the prenatal nature of the 8 Extraordinary Vessels and the postnatal function of the middle burner (Stomach and Spleen)

It provides an overflow system or repository for unresolved emotions or traumas (I like to call it Space Junk) that affect the will to live.

This vessel is a Translator helping to translate, harmonize and integrate past experiences and emotions. It supports and consolidates as well as drains and detoxifies.

Benefits:

Regulates the internal organs, blood and menstruation
Connects the channels that travel through the abdomen
Influences sexual energy and the reproductive system
Opens up energy blocks between the upper and lower body

Harmonizes liver and gall bladder
Living life harmoniously in the now

Pain in lower extremities.
Uterine prolapse.
Vaginal discharge.
Abdominal distension and fullness.
Ovary disorder.
Weakness of shoulders and upper extremities.
Eye weakness or pains.
Pain in breasts.

BRIDGE VESSELS (Yin & Yang Qiao Mai)

Master Points:

K6 – Yin Bridge Vessel

B62 – Yang Bridge

Coupled Points:

Lu7 – opposite side

Vessel SI3 – opposite side

A key word for the Bridge Vessel is structure, including structural imbalances between left and right sides of the body. It can also balance upper/lower and inner/outer.

The Bridge Vessel influences the medial and lateral aspects of the legs, the abdomen, back, neck, head, and eyes. It influences mobility, flexibility, and activity. For some, the image of the bridge between the inner and outer worlds, physical and metaphysical, is as valuable as the channel’s muscular or structural function. Its coupled points link it to the Central Channel.

The Yin & Yang Bridge Vessels are about the now and our perspective and stance in the moment.

The Yin Bridge Vessel is about our vision turned inward and how we take a stand with the Self. It is the capacity to shed light on the darkest corner of the Self so that we can truly accept who we are. It is the gift of Self Illumination.

The Yang Bridge Vessel is about our vision turned outward and how we take a stand in the world. It determines how we engage in the world around us in the present moment. It influences how we change ourselves to change the world.

Benefits:

Distributes energy to the kidneys
Balances hypo and hyper conditions of blood (hypertension, headaches), energy circulation (exhaustion) and blood sugar levels (hypo and hyperglycemia)
Lower back problems
Benefits shoulder, hip and ankle joints

Indications for Use:

Backaches, cramping, epileptic seizures, congestive headaches, migraines, nightmares.
Energy problems such as fatigue, generalized weakness, and lethargy or hyperactivity.

Master Points:

P6 – Yin Regulator Vessel

TW5 – Yang Regulator

Coupled Points: Sp4 – opposite side

Vessel GB41 – opposite side

When you don’t know what to do, do the Regulator. Not only are the yin functions and meridians linked by the Yin Regulator, and the yang functions and meridians by the Yang Regulator, this Extraordinary Vessel links yin (nourishing) and yang (protective) energy into supportive wholeness.

The Regulator Vessels specialize in harmonizing the regulatory systems, within the physiology and emotions and in interaction with the environment. During any time of transition, whether seasonal change, daily weather vagaries, job or relationship changes, or illness (etc., etc.), the Regulator Vessels can function as a tune-up in the person’s ability to function in balance.
