It is the space between the muscles where the energy flows. It is in the lines surgeons use to dissect. It is the dusk and dawn. The edge between sea shore and coastline.

“Life is a dance between heaven and earth, the ebb and flow of life.” ― Maurice Spees

[poligraf]

Each star passes but once in the night through the meridian over our heads and shines there but an instant; so, in the heaven of the mind each thought touches its zenith but once, and in that moment all its brilliancy and all its greatness culminate.

— Henri-Frédéric Amiel

Since I was on lungs and thumbs yesterday, I wanted to look back at the big toe to thumb connection again. Remember, I’m an architect by training looking at buildings before bodies. In nature, we rarely see anything not prescribing to, “form follows function.” It just doesn’t make sense from an evolutionary perspective to waste the energy. It’s not until humans and surpluses that we see function following form. (There are some birds that build ridiculous, and admittedly ridiculously cute, little structure homes, but they are to attract a mate…which is another discussion) Anyhow, I stumbled on these connections through looking at the myofascia, lines of connectivity, and gait. Not an acupuncturist, but in architecture, I was always considering the structure and the flow of the buildings. Then all of the sudden, I remembered the “meridian clock,” which is a traditional Chinese medicine depiction of energy flow through the day, and it just so coincidentally shows the same flow through the digits. (Admittedly, I got 4 of 6 pairings correct without knowing this out that they do formally pair) (again, pairs! Because polarity!) In this case, we start at the big toe up to the contralateral shoulder and down to the thumb. Liver to Lung. The meridian clock says Liver starts at 1am and wanes at 3am to only begin none other than the lungs! And on and on it goes through each of your fingers and toes.

Yoga therapy is not physical therapy. It is a way of becoming present to the experience of the body and mind, a philosophy and an attitude. Through yoga therapy, pain can be interpreted differently. One’s attitude towards the body and its functions and abilities moves towards curiosity and acceptance along with mastery on the subtle level. There are physical and health benefits to the practice of yoga therapy, but ultimately one’s destination is beyond the body, beyond death, into the eternal Divine. 🌳 We have a YIN YOGA PRACTICE INTENSIVE coming April 21-25 at the Woodstock, NY Yoga House.

Contralateral Patterning One of the most amazing and beautiful things about walking is the crisscross pattern of arms and legs working together to move us. It is a patterning of movement and mastery… “Movement begins in our mother’s womb and we continue to master developmental movement patterns through our elementary years. As the movement scenarios become ingrained into our bodies, brains, and movement repertoires they are patterned into our fascia. These patterns are not all subtle, but rather quite fractal. They are reiterated over and over again in various systems of the body. We can see them in the hugely visible structures and the microscopic ones expressing the same order. Their geometric efficiency is tangibly displayed in all fascial structures. The accumulation of movement patterns reinforces and dynamically forges the tensegrity (tensional integrity) of the entire body.” -Melinda Cooksey Bekos MS, PhD I think I will be running next live zoom Course on arm lines and their connections through gait.

The Chakra or Mind-Body-Spirit Connection

By Dr Catherine W Dunne MSc. D. (Hon), RGN, Reiki Master (RGMT), M.H.I.T. Hello and thank you for coming back. Today’s blog started back in 2019. Yes! Imagine. I started this article, feeling guided and not knowing where it would take me. It didn’t take me far, as my conscious knowledge was still limited. Deep down, I had this Inner Knowing yet did not know how to connect the dots, until now, I…

Meridians: Are they just Fascia?

The hypothesis that acupuncture meridians closely correspond to fascial planes is a compelling area of research. Here are some key points reinforcing this idea: Anatomical and Functional Correlations Acupuncture Points and Fascial Planes: Acupuncture points often align with anatomical structures such as neurovascular bundles, muscle attachments, and intermuscular septa, many of which are rich…

A look at the structure and flow of the Axilla. (Arm pit) It’s really a #triangle of serratus anterior, subscapularis and the Pectoralis muscles holding space between your humerus, shoulder blade and rib cage. It’s an important space for blood flow (lightly depicted) and nerves (Not pictured). If we don’t have blood flow, we don’t feel. Nerves are not electrical wires that can just flick on and off like the electrical outlets in your house. Nerves must be washed and bathed in blood (sounds gory) to provide proper feedback between brain and body. Because I was on spleen, I became curious to look at this regularly congested area. The spleen Meridian is included, as well as its arm line pair, the Heart meridian. How do you open up your axilla? Ever considered it before today? Personally, I love surfing (the paddling part) and when I can’t surf, hanging/swinging/climbing.

truth serum / system reveal au where shen qingqiu gets hit with an uncloaking spell that reveals the system in the reflection of his eyes every time it pops up.

during one of his missions, in the treasure hoard of some dragon-like creature, he finds a golden, oval shaped hand mirror, its gaudy style more victorian based than anything (airplane you hack!), that doesn't seem to do anything when he looks into it. but when he does, it reveals the system's screen in his eyes.

he doesn't notice this, of course, because he can't see it, and the system, surprisingly, stays quiet.

the peak lords think he's cursed.

maybe mu qingfang is the first to notice, during the mandatory post mission check-up, when shen qingqiu is scrolling through his most recently accumulated points and mu qingfang can see the strange vividly-blue lines reflected in his pupils. it's gone when shen qingqiu blinks, like it was nothing but a trick of the light.

it comes out when yue qingyuan is visiting and, just as he's done laying out the plans for a new mission, shen qingqiu's eyes glaze over and a bright blue box takes over the whole of his iris. shen qingqiu goes quiet; the thing in his eyes moves, shifts, pulses for a second, like static worms crawling all over his pupils. then he blinks, and it's gone, and shen qingqiu accepts the mission that yue qingyuan was almost sure he would decline.

maybe there is an intervention, when the peak lords corner shen qingqiu at qian cao peak and try to figure out what's wrong, subjecting him to all kinds of treatments and curse-finding spells that turn up empty, they can't find anything.

of course, the silencing threat is still very much up and running. at first shen qingqiu was kind of confused by the whole ordeal, but when the peak lords start describing a "strange blue box", he realizes, with sickening suddenty, that they're describing the system. and he can't say anything.

this only makes everything worse, because their fellow peak lord now keeps evading every question and acts like he doesn't understand. liu qingge points right at his face and asks, "that blue box, what is it?" and shen qingqiu laughs nervously and starts talking about how bright the weather is and surely it's the sky and nothing to worry about!

even worse, during the intervention the system thought it was a good idea to start talking to him, so now even the peak lords who hadn't seen it and who might have been persuaded by light tricks and reflections, get a first row view that no, that definitely isn't a trick of the light.

they try to do the whole thing of "are you in danger, blink twice" but shen qingqiu can't even do that because it's still a direct admittance!

maybe eventually he starts saying vague confirmations that don't actually confirm anything, like "this master hears what you're saying", or maybe he goes with a classic "this master can neither confirm nor deny that." but the system starts warning him for that too and eventually he stops saying anything, which worries the others more.

luckily mu qingfang catches on that every time they ask a direct question about the box or shen qingqiu says anything vaguely confirming, it appears. it doesn't appear when they ask about curses or demons, so it must not see that as a threat.

for a little extra angst: maybe the peak lords keep pressuring him for answers, and at some point shen qingqiu gets fed up and snaps out something like, "why don't you understand that i'm not allowed to answer that!" the system counts this as a direct admittance, threatening it's existence. so it punishes. shen qingqiu has a qi deviation so bad it lasts two weeks and takes two people every day to cleanse his meridians. the system doesn't appear in that time. it doesn't appear for a long while after that, either. the peak lords stop asking, mainly because shen qingqiu will instantly leave the room if they do. they don't stop searching for a cure, though.

shang qinghua returns from a business trip and catches on the second someone mentions a blue box and forced silencing.
