Guest guest Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 Hi Helen, The following quote explains " sea of meridians " better to me in relation to Lori's issue: " All meridians will reach the head, so the head is also called the Sea of Meridians. " From http://acupuncture.com/newsletters/m_may08/Autism%20Scalp%20Acupuncture.htm It also turns out the Penetrating Vessel/Flow is called the " sea of the 12 meridians " and the mouth is one of its connecting points to the meridians. Do check out the book " The Promise of Energy Psychology " as it goes over the Radiant Circuits in more detail - how Donna sees them. Doc does have a chapter from the book in the files section of the group. Click on " Secrets of the Radiant Circuits " to read the article " Wired for Joy " by Donna Eden and David Feinstein: http://health. Interesting how things that one once did return as -- before I knew about the Radiant Circuits via Donna, I took an intro Jin Shin Do class and JSD primarily connects points where the Strange Flows (one of the Chinese names for Radiant Circuits) meet the meridians. I see that Giovanni Maciocia, author of many acupuncture books and texts, said in 2003 that there was little written in English about the Extraordinary Vessels and recommended the book " Extradordinary Vessels " by Kiiko Matsumoto: http://forum.giovanni-maciocia.com/4DCGI/CGI4D_BBLoadPost/111/242/0/000 Then in 2006, he himself put out with his text " The Channels of Acupuncture: Clinical Use of the Secondary Channels and Eight Extraordinary Vessels " -- probably in response to this lack: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_gw/103-9472090-8331001?url=search-alias%3D aps & field-keywords=Extraordinary+Vessels Many blessings, MichelleH I'm in wayyyyyyy over my head with this -- but it's an amazing area to learn more about. Meridians are like rivers of chi -- that flow from and into the sea of chi within us and around us. (please, everyone who knows much more than me, step in with better info) So now I'm reading about the 'extraordinary vessels' --- Ren Mai, Du Mai, Chong Mai and Dia Mai : http://www.massagetoday.com/mpacms/mt/article.php?id=10276 This book looks really interesting: http://books.google.com/books?id=zRB8DFWf1gQC & pg=PA236 & lpg=PA236 & dq=Chong+Ma i & source=web & ots=3SbUOnSCOl & sig=jltHY1NNbVM2-K8cb49axyIu9Zc & hl=en & sa=X & oi=bo ok_result & resnum=6 & ct=result (sorry - it's a pdf from google books) Damn. I think I get some semblance of an understanding, and it just gets deeper!! Helen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for the reference. I went immediately to amazon and bought it. I cannot stand not having all the valid resources available. It's the Metal in me. Money is nothing when compared to the wisdom and knowledge gained over the ages by some of those authors. John M.
