#taoism #philosophy #taoteching

The Master gives himself up to
whatever the moment brings.
He knows that he is going to die,
and therefore has nothing left to hold on to:
no illusions in his mind,
no resistances in his body.
He doesn't think about his actions;
they flow from the core of his being.
He holds nothing back from life;
therefore he is ready for death,
as a man is ready for sleep
after a good day's work.

Pericardium 6:
is one of the main acupuncture points for regulating and calming the spirit and treating a wide range of emotional disorders whatever the underlying pattern. It is therefore indicated for insomnia, epilepsy, mania, poor memory, loss of memory following windstroke, fright, sadness, fear and apprehension

location:
On the flexor aspect of the forearm, 2 cun proximal to Daling P-7 (wrist), between the tendons of palmaris longus and flexor carpi radialis. (In the absence of the tendon of palmaris longus, locate this point on the ulnar side of the tendon of flexor carpi radialis.)

* Unbinds the chest and regulates qi
* Regulates the Heart and calms the spirit
* Harmonises the Stomach and alleviates nausea and vomiting
* Clears heat
* Heart pain
* sudden Heart pain
* stuffiness of the chest with agitation of the Heart
* palpitations
* fright palpitations
* pounding sensation of the Heart
* disorders of Heart rate and rhythm
* pain of the lateral costal region and Heart in women
* pain of the lateral costal region
* cough
* asthma

The Pericardium is the 'wrapping' of the Heart which stores the spirit, and the Pericardium luo-connecting channel links Neiguān P-6 directly with the Heart. The action of Neiguān P-6 on regulating the Heart zang and calming the spirit emphasises its dual effect on both the physical and emotional aspects of the Heart. It is an important point in the treatment of palpitations, pounding of the Heart and disorders of Heart rhythm.
