Hi Joel, I'm not sure about copyright - you would have to check into that but I thought I'd send these links and info to the list as I'm sure there are others who would like to know where to find meridian info online. Many blessings, MichelleH *************** Some information about meridians is available online at: http://healing.about.com/health/healing/library/weekly/aa000114a.htm?rnk=r & terms=meridians http://www.healingpeople.com (formerly acupuncture.com) The Meridians http://classes.colgate.edu/GNED339/acupuncture/meridians.html The theory of meridians associates each of the twelve important organs of the body with a particular set of conduits. The Qi circulates along these channels of the body, thus bringing life. The meridians of each organ traverse the entire body, and do not really appear to be in any way connected with that particular organ. It these invisible paths along which the qi traverses do not correspond to any known anatomical circulatory or nervous system pathways. They are however very carefully diagramed and plotted out, with each of the thousand or so points specifically labeled. Each meridian is equally represented on each side of the body, and each one is associated with either Yin or Yang. If a person stands with the arms above the head, all the Yin meridians flow upwards, while the Yang meridians flow downwards.

Guest guest Posted August 10, 2001 Report Share Posted August 10, 2001 Michelle... Thanks for the links. Max.... I understand that the general charting of the meridians cannot be copyrighted, but I'm pretty sure that specific renditions of them, such as the drawings in Donna Eden's ENERGY MEDICINE, are protected by copyright. Ideally, I would like to have a digital rendition that is not only readable (too many of those showing all the meridians and the acupuncture points on one or two figures are not readable unless on a wall-sized chart), but also in the public domain. -- --------------------------- Joel P.

Guest guest Posted August 10, 2001 Report Share Posted August 10, 2001 Max: The human body was created thousands and thousands of years ago, but you can still copyright a drawing of it ;-) I think that is what they are discussing. You cannot arbitrarily borrow someone else's rendering of the meridian system unless it is outside of copyright, which an ancient one might be; but that would probably have to be researched. It is the same for pictures of the chakra system or physical anatomy. Someone else's artistic work is copyrighted to them.
