EXTRAORDINARY VESSELS
A working definition....
The Extraordinary Vessels are the primordial fields* at the root of the interplay
of Yin & Yang as manifest in the dance between the descending Yang forces of
heaven and the ascending Yin forces of earth.
The extraordinary vessels are our microcosmic primordial fields in which we

relate to and process the primordial fields of the macrocosmic world.
All our basic energetic functions are manifest in these fields.
The extraordinary vessel pathways are the best known manifestation of the
extraordinary vessel primordial fields.
The extraordinary vessels are utilized for personal cultivation, wellness and
healthcare.
Primordial Field:(Definition)
Primordial: In terms of space: Basic, primary & fundamental
In terms of time: Happening first in a sequence of events
Field: Invisible moving forces that shape the physical reality Bruce Lipton

The Fundamental Energetic Image
The human being can be viewed as a simple tube-like organism that self-propels and is
propelled through the environment. As human beings, we take the world in on one end or
level and discharge it out the other end or level. In the process we engage in various
basic energetic functions.
BASIC ENERGETIC FUNCTIONS OF HUMAN BEINGS:
PROTECTION
From influences from outside the organism
ASSIMILATION
Of influences from outside the organism
INCORPORATION
Of influences from outside the organism
DISCHARGE
Of influences to outside the organism
STORAGE
Of influences within the organism
DISTRIBUTION
Of influences within the organism
These are the critical functions of the human being. The extraordinary vessels operate on
this primoridial level, playing out the human experience, while fulfilling all these functions.

Energetic Image
YANGWEI DAI YINWEI CHONG
Yangwei, Dai, Yinwei and Chong address the relationship between the human being
and the external environment. They represent the boundaries of the human being,
distinguishing it from the external environment, thereby offering definition.
They deal primarily with the functions of protection, assimilation,

incorporation, and discharge.
Yangwei Yang within Yang Outside of the Outside
Dai Yin within Yang Inside of the Outside
Yinwei Yang within Yin Outside of the Inside
Chong Yin within Yin Inside of the Inside
REN DU YINQIAO YANGQIAO
Ren,Du, Yinqiao and Yangqiao address the relationship between the human being
and the internal environment and maintenance of the yin/yang balance. They
represent the potentials and accessing of potentials within the human
experience.
They deal primarily with the functions of storage and distribution of yin and yang.
Ren Yin Potential Storage of Yin
Du Yang Potential Storage of Yang
Yinqiao Accessing of Yin Distribution of Yin
Yangqiao Accessing of Yang Distribution of Yang

Extraordinary Vessels
An Orientation
Questing for Harmony...
One of the fundamental observations of the ancient Chinese was that the only constant is
change. Recognition of this constant as a reality precluded a search for balance, where
balance implies a static, unchanging state. Rather, in Chinese medicine, we speak of
harmony in general and a search for harmony in change in particular. In healing, we
speak of harmonious transformation. In the course of events that factor into the individual
search for harmony, two major dynamics receive emphasis.
Harmony with the cosmos:
This is our relationship to heaven and earth;

to the exterior world. It deals with our
interhuman functioning, the quest to define
ourselves in terms of our relationship to
others and the world and how we define
ourselves to the outside world.
The Yangwei, Dai, Yinwei, and Chong deal

primarily with interhuman functioning:
harmony with the cosmos.
Harmony within one’s self:
This is our relationship to our own heaven

and earth; to our interior world. It deals
with our intrahuman functioning, the quest
to discover our core nature. The storage and
movement of yin and yang within our selves:
harmony with one’s self.
The Ren and Du and the Yinqiao and

Yangqiao deal primarily with intrahuman
functioning: harmony within oneself.
4
Harmony with Oneself
Harmony with Oneself: Ren/Du/Yinqiao/Yangqiao
Ren and Du
Ren and Du represent the potential and capacity for growth, development,
regeneration, creativity, reproduction and life. They delineate both the capacities we
come into the world with (heredity, instincts) and the body’s reserves - that which
is left over after carrying out all the processes of maintaining daily existence. They
are the reservoirs of yin (Ren) and yang (Du). Stored yang is the capacity for
movement and function. Stored yin is the capacity for materialization and form.
Yinqiao and Yangqiao
Yinqiao and Yangqiao represent the territory from which we access the potential
and capacity for growth, development, regeneration, creativity, reproduction and
life. They delineate the body’s aptitude for smooth and graceful and harmonious
activity in carrying out the processes of daily living and generating a drive for
continued growth and development. Balance and gracefulness are dependent upon
the smooth functioning of the Qiao. The Yinqiao accesses yin (materialization and
form). The Yangqiao accesses yang (movement and function).
Ren/Du/Yinqiao/Yangqiao Relationships
The relationship between the Ren/Du and the Yinqiao/Yangqiao is the relationship
between potential and the actualization of potential. It is the creative tension
between a drive to store and a drive to act.
The relationship between the Du/Yangqiao and the Ren/Yinqiao is the interplay
between function and form.
Through the process of engendering potential by storing and then accessing that
potential through actualization, both yang phenomena (actions, events) and yin
phenomena (materials, things) can come into existence.

Harmony with the Cosmos
Harmony With the Cosmos
Yangwei and Dai
Yangwei and Dai are the primary interface with the external world. Through the
Yangwei and Dai we communicate and interact outwardly. They represent our
superficial contact with the cosmos.
The Yangwei determines what influences we let in and the selection of the
environment in which we choose to place ourselves. As our first line of protection
from exogenous influences, somatic and non-somatic, the Yangwei defines us as
individuals by boundary making. Our experience of ourselves as distinct from the
cosmos is a manifestation of the Yangwei. The Yangwei’s drive is to protect by
contraction and by defining the exterior of the body.
The Dai represents our ability to express and the ability to influence and act on the
environments in which we find ourselves. The Dai represents our ability to impact
the external world. How we create and express ourselves in the outer world is the
manifestation of the Dai. The Dai’s drive is to express by expanding into the
universe.
Yinwei and Chong
Yinwei and Chong are the primary interface with the internal world. Through the
Yinwei and Chong we assimilate and integrate our experiences with the outside
world. They represent the interior integration of our contact with the cosmos. The
Yinwei and Chong are responsible for assimilating and incorporating influences of
value and getting rid of influences of no value.
The Yinwei determines our ability to assimilate. Quality assimilation requires

discrimination. The ability to determine the qualitative and quantitative
appropriateness of influences to take in and to receive nourishment on all levels,
somatic and non-somatic, is under the purview of the Yinwei. The Yinwei’s drive is
to protect and assimilate by contracting and defining within the interior of the body.
The Chong represents our ability to incorporate, to make the cosmos a part of our
being. On the level of the Chong, we are one with the cosmos. The ability to make
the nourishment we assimilate through the Yinwei part of our being is under the
purview of the Chong. The Chong’s drive is to incorporate by expanding and
merging with the universe.

Extraordinary Vessel
Primordial Development
Every human born into existence is a microcosm of the macrocosmic world. The intermingling and
coalescing on the individual level replicates anew, the creation of the cosmos. Thus, we are related
to all life before, during and after our existence.
Chong: Undifferentiated Wholeness

The Chong is the first of the extraordinary vessels to come into existence.
The Chong’s is formed, at conception, from the intermingling of the
timeless and universal ascending yin influences of earth and the timeless
and universal descending yang influences of heaven.Here there is only
wholeness.
Du/Ren: The first division

Out of the Chong emerges the Du (reservoir of pure yang) and the Ren
(reservoir of pure yin). The Du and Ren form the symmetry and the medial
axes of the body. There is very little distinction here.
Dai: The second division

Eventually, the Dai forms and moves into a horizontal flow. The Dai now
separates the body into two distinct energetic regions: an energetic region
above the diaphragm and an energetic region below the diaphragm. There
is now a top and bottom to go with a front and back and an axis.
The remaining vessels

The remaining extraordinary vessels, the Yinwei, Yinqiao, Yangqiao and
Yangwei, emerge and develop in support of and in sync with the Chong,
Ren, Du and Dai
The capacity for human life to manifest its individual destiny & fate has
evolved.
From this primordial evolutionary perspective, this view emerges:

Chong assisted by Yinwei
Du assisted by Yangqiao
Ren assisted by Yinqiao
Dai assisted by Yangwei

Chong: The Energetic Womb
The Chong manifests “three wombs” along the Du/Ren Pathway. In many traditions these are known as the
Dan Tiens.
Upper Womb : Womb of Thinking & Sensing

Deep in the skull
Middle Womb: Womb of Emotions & Feeling

Deep in the visceral cavity
Lower Womb: Womb of Meaning & Being

Deep in the pelvis

Time
Throughout history time has been understood and experienced in many

ways. The human desire to comprehend the cosmos and the nature of time have
fostered countless efforts from scientists, philosophers, religious leaders, healers,
and poets to master, understand and explain time. The following is one way of
understanding and explaining time that allows “time” to be classified and
understood in the context of the extraordinary vessels.
A Model for Understanding Time - Three “Kinds” of Time
Linear Time - The time of ordinary consciousness. Spatial time, day to day time.
The time of history. Assumes time moves forward in a linear fashion. The time of
our watches and calendars.
Aeonic Time - The time of metaphoric consciousness. Temporal time. Cyclic time.
The time of experience. The time of seasons and aeons.
Tao Time - The time of symbolic consciousness. Pool time. Undifferentiated time.
The time of all time and no time. Contains and stands in contrast to linear time.

Levels of Awareness & Expression
We navigate and interact with the world in multiple and varied ways. As we integrate
ourselves and express our experience of the world we generate observable signs that can
be interpreted and understood in the context of the fundamental dynamics of the
extraordinary vessels. When we utilize the subjective assessment of someone’s level of
awareness and expression, we go beyond the simple, linear information gathering
perspective that is dominant in western medicine. Instead, the subjective form of
assessment requires full engagement and active holistic interpretation. It is an act of
seeing the entirety in the parts, placing all parts in the context of the entirety. Any
individual symptom or expression contains the whole, if one is willing and able to
interpret. We tend to focus on the detail, the information transmitted, instead of the
nature (level of awareness and expression) of the communication. One can choose
extraordinary vessels treatments (what fundamental function to treat) using careful
observation of the level of awareness and expression being presented (what fundamental
functioning is requesting attention).

Non-Somatic Extraordinary Vessel
Treatment Principles for Needles
1. Choose the extraordinary vessel to be treated, and the method of treatment -

either relaxing or activating.
2. All treatments are bilateral.
3. Points should be lightly palpated before treatment. If there is a distinct sensation

within one quarter inch, and on the vessel pathway, that point should be needled as
the master or couple point.
4. First, needle bilaterally the master points of the extraordinary vessel being
treated. Wait a few breaths, then needle the couple points.
5. Needles should be inserted with a neutral technique and to a shallow to medium

depth. You should not "get the Qi" at the point. Over-stimulation will emphasize
the regular channel aspects of the point rather than the extraordinary vessel
aspects. Needle gauges should be 32, 34, or 36 gauge depending on the sensitivity
of the client.
6. After the needles are in place, the ion pumping cords are attached to the
needles.
To activate the vessel:

Apply both red leads first to the master points, wait a few breaths and apply both
black leads to the couple points.
To relax the vessel:

Apply both black leads first to the master points, wait a few breaths and apply both
red leads to the couple points.
Cords are applied to master and couple points on the same side of the
body. They are never crossed from side to side.
7. If unclear about activating or relaxing the vessel, or to harmonize the vessel, do

not use ion pumping cords. In these cases, the master point should be needled
with the flow of the channel and the couple point against the flow of the channel.
8. Adjunct enhancement points should be needled last, with a neutral technique,

and removed first.
9. Adjunct preparatory points should be needled first, and removed before the
insertion of the master/couple points. These points are needled with neutral
technique and are retained from a few seconds to a few minutes at most.
10. Clients should be made comfortable and left ALONE during treatment. It is
important to check clients during treatment, but they should not be disturbed if
possible. The treatment room should be made as dark as possible or as dark as is
comfortable for the client. Cooling or room may be necessary as clients tend to
heat or chill during these treatments.
25
Non-Somatic Extraordinary Vessel
Treatment Principles for Needles
11. The room should be as quiet as possible or appropriate music may be played. It
is best to choose unfamiliar music that will be played during these treatments only.
Music should be either instrumental or chant, in a language in which the client is
not fluent. Plainsong or simple, acoustic instrumental music may be most
beneficial.
12. When relaxing the vessels, clients should generally feel quiescent and relaxed.
They may occasionally feel "fatigued" or "drained" or "as if they are falling apart.”
They should be assured that this sensation will pass. If, during this treatment, a
patient feels agitated in any way, the cords should be removed immediately and
your treatment reassessed.
13. When activating the vessel, clients will often develop physical or emotional
agitation during or following the treatment. (This is not always the case. Many
times clients feel profoundly relaxed or blissful.) Caution should be applied not to
overdo (this is not a case of no pain, no gain). The client should feel positive about
the experience rather than overwhelmed. If the treatment feels overwhelming in
any way, or the client exhibits too much agitation, the needles and cords should be
removed.
14. Treatments should last from 15 minutes to 25 minutes for relaxing the vessel,
and from 20 minutes to an hour for activating the vessel. The client should be
checked periodically to determine if the treatment has reached maximum benefit.
15. Treatments are best done in loose, comfortable clothing. Watches should be
removed. Jewelry that is normally worn should be worn. All other jewelry should be
removed.
26
Extraordinary Vessels:
Choosing to Activate or Relax
The Goal: Achieving Harmony
The goal of all treatment is to move people from their current, familiar unhealthy pattern
to a new, unfamiliar healthy pattern. There are two kinds of relationships people have in
the universe: an interior relationship with themselves and an exterior relationship with the
cosmos at large. People attempt to establish harmony within these relationships. They
develop patterns or ways of being in the universe as attempts to achieve harmony within
these relationships.
TWO KINDS OF HARMONY
1. Harmony with the cosmos: This is our relationship to heaven, our relationship
to the exterior world. It deals with our interhuman functioning, our quest to define
ourselves in terms of our relationship to others and the world and how we define
ourselves to the outside world.
2. Harmony within one’s self: This is our relationship to earth, our relationship
to our interior world. It deals with our intrahuman functioning, our quest to discover
our core nature. The storage and movement of yin and yang within our selves is
harmony with one’s self.
ESTABLISHING HARMONY
The extraordinary vessels represent the core functions of the human being. When they
are functionally weak or functionally exaggerated people will become uncomfortable in the
harmony they create. This is experienced as disharmony. To shift them from their current
disharmony with themselves or the universe to a state of harmony with themselves or the
universe we may relax or activate the extraordinary vessels.
RELAXING OR ACTIVATING: WHAT HAPPENS?
1. Relax - When we relax a channel, we are alleviating a tension pattern in the soma/non-
soma. We are looking to achieve liberation from a pattern through the relief of overt and
experienced signs and symptoms. The person can experience relief or change as an actual
event. This may provide a goal or metaphor which they can rally around and strive toward.
2. Activate - When we activate an extraordinary vessel we are creating a tension pattern in

the soma/non-soma. We are looking to achieve liberation from a pattern by creating
awareness of covert somatic or non-somatic functioning. The person can experience, on
the somatic level, the covert functional pattern. This experience, or bringing the person
back to their body, may provide a goal or metaphor through which the person can more
clearly identify and respond to patterns of covert disharmony.
27
Choosing to Activate or Relax
Functionally Weak
When an extraordinary vessel is functionally weak, the person may respond with
overt, somatic responses or with covert, non-somatic responses only.
1. Relax - if there are overt, somatic signs and symptoms.
2. Activate - if there are covert non-somatic signs and symptoms you wish to
somatize or if there are mild, overt somatic signs and symptoms you wish to
exaggerate.
Functionally Exaggerated
When an extraordinary vessel function is exaggerated, there are always overt,

somatic responses.
1. Relax - In these cases you always relax the extraordinary vessel to alleviate the
overt, somatic pattern.
If you are uncertain as to whether you should activate or relax

an Extraordinary Vessel, always choose to relax.
28
Choosing Extraordinary
Vessel Treatments
The following considerations will help guide you through the process of choosing an
extraordinary vessel treatment. This is NOT a fixed, linear process for choosing a
treatment — the importance of these considerations will vary each time you engage the
process. You may choose a treatment to address any individual consideration or many
considerations that share a common extraordinary vessel conclusion.
Non-Somatic Considerations
1. General nature of distress

Yin or Yang
2. Primary orientation
Inter-organism (boundaries) or intra-organism (potential/access)
3. Energetic functions involved

Protection
Assimilation
Incorporation
Discharge
Storage
Distribution
4. Time issues
Tao time
Aeonic time
Linear time
Past
Present
Future
5. Levels of awareness and expression

Ordinary
Metaphoric
Symbolic
Somatic Considerations
1. General location of distress

Yang (top/back) or Yin (front/bottom)
2. Areas of specific somatic expression
3. Gait
4. Pain Qualities
29
How to Use NSEV Treatments
Non-Somatic Extraordinary Vessel treatments are being used by healthcare professionals

and the general public. Once understood, they have a wide variety of both personal and
professional applications. Healthcare professionals and healers who use the NSEV
treatments in their personal lives have a much better understanding of and more
significant results when they apply the NSEV treatments with their clients.
Personal Use of NSEV Treatments:
1. To enhance all other health practices you currently employ:
When properly utilized, NSEV treatments will enhance all other forms of treatment.
Many individuals are already using NSEV treatments in conjunction with therapies
such as chiropractic, massage, physical therapy, psychotherapy and other
counseling modalities, and of course, acupuncture. NSEV treatments may be used
immediately before or after the aforementioned treatments for enhancement, or
between treatments for reinforcement.
2. For personal growth and development and relaxation:
Because these treatments are safe and gentle, they provide a wonderful vehicle for
personal growth and development. Many individuals employ NSEV treatments as
part of their daily schedule of meditation, relaxation and/or exercise. Some like to
“start the day off right” with an NSEV session. Others find an NSEV session to be
the perfect way to “clear the day” when they arrive home in the evening. Still
others find NSEV sessions an ideal way to “unwind” and prepare themselves for a
good night’s sleep in the evenings.
3. To enhance creativity:
NSEV treatments are being used by professional and amateur artists, writers,
musicians and others to promote and/or enhance creativity. All NSEV treatments,
by addressing the fundamental energetic functioning of the body, have the ability to
promote the sense of vigor that enhances creativity.
4. To address specific issues:
Many persons discover that NSEV treatments address specific issues, both the
somatic and non-somatic, that exist in their lives. By exploring these issues, either
on their own or with a health professional trained in NSEV work, they develop
strategies for employing NSEV work for therapeutic benefit.
30
Professional Use by the Healthcare Provider:
1. Treating yourself to enhance being with your clients:
One of the most common uses of NSEV treatments by a variety of healthcare

providers is self treatment at the beginning or end of clinical days. Healthcare
providers who wish to be with their clients in the most profound way possible and
yet do not want to bring their clients home with them, find the NSEV treatments
invaluable for achieving this goal.
2. To enhance treatments you give your clients:
Many health professionals are doing NSEV treatments with their clients either
before or after their sessions to enhance treatments. Others are having clients do
NSEV treatments at home to confirm and reinforce the work done in the clinical
setting.
3. To help clients integrate treatments:
There are times when any treatment begins to be treated as a negative stress by
the system. The person has lost the capacity to assimilate or has a reduced
capacity to assimilate treatment of any kind. Any intervention, be it somatic or
non-somatic, is treated as an assault on the body. In these cases, the
extraordinary vessels can be effective in treating the total capacity to respond to
treatment.
There are other times when clients become incapable of maintaining positive
benefits from treatment. These clients tend to have dramatic but short lived
benefits from therapeutic interventions. This first challenge is one of assimilation
and incorporation. Other clients will engage in behaviors that undo positive
benefits achieved in treatments. This second challenge is one of discharge and
incorporation. Engaging in what appear to be and are often labeled “self-
destructive” behaviors, these persons are actually experiencing a problem with
incorporation and discharge. Their system is challenged to incorporate the benefits
of a treatment which may move them into unfamiliar territory and are prematurely
discharging the treatments in order to return to their own familiar, albeit
uncomfortable, terrain. This too can be addressed by and ameliorated with NSEV
treatments.
31
Professional Use by the Acupuncturist:
Acupuncturists, in addition to the aforementioned situations listed for healthcare

professionals, will find NSEV treatments especially useful in the following instances:
1. When clients are not responding well to conventional acupuncture

treatments.
2. When clients have opposite reactions to conventional acupuncture

treatments.
3. When clients are getting worse with conventional acupuncture

treatments.
4. When clients are exhibiting the chasing syndrome, with signs and
symptoms moving from one organ system and channel to another.
5. When clients have a large amount of vague and diffuse symptoms,

that cross over into multiple organs systems and channels.
6. When the clients non-somatic signs and symptoms closely match the
signs/symptoms of the extraordinary vessel.
7. When clients express or language their symptoms in a way that

closely matches the associations with the extraordinary vessels.
8. For any and all mood disorders including depression.
32

Topical Applications:
Yangwei
Topical applications are used to enhance, modify and direct master/couple point
treatments. They are usually done as a pre-treatment to the master/couple point
treatment. There are, however, some cases where some topical applications are
done in conjunction with the master/couple treatments. Topical applications may
include the use of manual or mechanical massage or cupping with herbal pastes or
liniments or the application of moxibustion to heat specific confluent or adjunct
points or bodily areas to impact the extraordinary vessels. What follows are brief
descriptions and pictures of the commonly used topical applications for each of the
extraordinary vessels:

Extraordinary Vessel Pathways:
General Considerations
Traditional Considerations:
1. There are eight extraordinary vessels: the yangwei, dai, yinwei, chong, du,
yangqiao, ren, and yinqiao.
2. The extraordinary vessels are fundamental and less differentiated than the
twelve regular channels.
3. The 12 regular channels, which may be perceived as two-dimensional rivers, are

outgrowths of the extraordinary vessels, which may be perceived as three-
dimensional seas.
4. The extraordinary vessels are the hidden reservoirs of yin and yang and qi and
blood.
5. The extraordinary vessels do not generate, they store.
6. Unlike the regular channels, the extraordinary vessels have no unidirectional

flow, rather, they ebb and flow. They are best envisioned as seas which ebb and
flow with high and low tide. The regular channels are like rivers with a
unidirectional flow.
7. The extraordinary vessel pathways are more broad and more diffuse than the
pathways of the twelve regular channels.
8. With the exception of the Du Mai and Ren Mai, the extraordinary vessels have
no points of their own. They share points, called confluence points, with the regular
channels. The confluence points of the extraordinary vessels have been used in a
myriad of ways to influence the extraordinary vessels. Because of the fact that the
entryways are shared with the regular channel, the method of stimulation and the
points used in combination with the confluence points in treatment determine
whether they impact primarily the extraordinary vessel or the regular channel on
which they lie.
9. Each of the extraordinary vessels has a point not on the extraordinary vessel
pathway known as the master point, that can be used to treat or engage the
extraordinary vessel. This master point has traditionally been coupled with the
master point of the extraordinary vessel with which the extraordinary vessel is
coupled. When used in conjunction with the master point of the vessel being
treated, this point is referred to as the couple point.
10. Traditional pairings of the extraordinary vessels were represented in the

following way: yangwei/dai; yinwei/chong; du/yangqiao; and ren/yinqiao.
76
Extraordinary Vessel Pathways:
General Considerations
Additional Considerations by Daniel J. Atchison-Nevel:
11. The confluence points represent the meeting points of the two-dimensional
regular channels with the multi-dimensional extraordinary vessels.
12. The extraordinary vessel pathways themselves are the more tangible somatic
aspect of the functional non-somatic extraordinary vessels. They are the somatic
pathways of non-somatic forces. The somatic pathology of the extraordinary vessel
pathways do not necessarily correspond to the non-somatic functions.
13. There have been historically, and continue to be, varying descriptions of the
extraordinary vessel pathways. There are four major reasons for these varying
descriptions:
a) The very nature of the extraordinary vessel pathways within individuals is

less tangible and therefore the somatic pathway manifestations are subject
to different descriptions.
b) The manifestation of the extraordinary vessel pathways within individuals

is subject to greater variance than the regular channels due to the unique
nature of the relationship of the non-somatic functions of the extraordinary
vessels and their somatic manifestations.
c) The extraordinary vessels ebb and flow within the body, creating an ever-
changing manifestation of their pathways.
d) The extraordinary vessels have a collective aspect and shift and alter
collectively through time and space.
14. The extraordinary vessels’ areas of somatic expression are the result, in great
part, of the somatic pathways of the extraordinary vessels. The areas of somatic
expression may be used to diagnose and treat the extraordinary vessels.
77
Yangwei Mai Pathway
The pathway of the Yangwei Mai starts below the

outer ankle bone at Metal Gate (UB63) of the Foot Tai Yang
Bladder Channel and ascends the lateral side of the leg along
the path of the Foot Shao Yang Gall Bladder Channel where it
intersects Yang Intersection (GB35) seven inches above
the outer ankle.
The Yangwei continues its ascension through the

posterolateral aspect of the trunk where it intersects Sun
and Moon (GB24) of the Foot Shao Yang Gall Bladder
Channel.
It proceeds up the trunk ascending past the axilla,

behind the shoulder where it intersects Upper Arm Shu
(SI10) of the Hand Tai Yang Small Intestine Channel,
Celestial Bone-hole (TB15) of the Hand Shao Yang Triple
Burner Channel and Shoulder Well (GB21) of the Foot
Shao Yang Gall Bladder Channel.
It continues ascending the neck, crossing behind the

ear to the forehead where it intersects Root Spirit (GB13)
of the Foot Sao Yang Gall Bladder Channel and Head Corner
(St8) of the Foot Yang Ming Stomach Channel on its descent
to Yang White (GB14) of the Foot Sao Yang Gall Bladder
Channel one inch above the eyebrow, on line with the pupil.
The pathway then doubles back up and over the top

of the head to the nape of the neck intersecting Head
Arrive at Tears (GB15), Eye Window (GB16), Upright
Construction (GB17), Ling Spirit Support (GB18), Brain
Hollow (GB19) and Wind Pool (GB20) of the Foot Shao
Yang Gall Bladder Channel and Wind Mansion (Du16) and
Mute’s Gate (Du15) of the Du Mai, where it ends.
78
Dai Mai Pathway
The pathway of the Dai Mai starts at the edge of the

ribs at Camphorwood Gate (Liv13) of the Foot Jue Yin
Liver channel, dips slightly to pass through Girdling Vessel
(GB26) of the Foot Shao Yang Gallbladder Channel and
further dips into the lower abdomen passing through Fifth
Pivot (GB27) and Protective Path (GB28) of the Foot
Shao Yang Gallbladder Channel.
From there it encircles the trunk horizontally like a

belt, running across the lumbar region posteriorly.
79
Yinwei Mai Pathway
The pathway of the Yinwei Mai starts on the medial

side of the lower leg, at the belly of the calf, at Guest
House (K9) of the Foot Shao Yin Kidney Channel.
It then runs up the medial aspect of the upper leg,

through the abdomen, where it intersects Chong Gate
(Sp12), Residence Abode (Sp13), Great Horizontal
(Sp15) and Abdominal Grief (Sp16) of the Foot Tai Yin
Spleen Channel.
It then travels into and across the chest where it

intersects Cycle Gate (Liv14) of the Foot Jue Liver Yin
channel and into the throat, where it intersects Heaven
Chimney (Ren22) and Ridge Spring (Ren23) of the Ren
Mai.
80
Chong Mai Pathway
The Chong Mai begins deep in the lower abdominal

region at the Qi Thoroughfare. It emerges at Surging Qi
(St30) of the Foot Yangming Stomach channel and Meeting
of Yin (Ren1) of the Ren Mai. It then branches out and
travels several pathways simultaneously.
One pathway ascends the abdomen traveling with

and lateral to the Foot Shao Yin Kidney channel intersecting
Horizontal Bone (K11), Great Manifestation (K12), Qi
Hole (K13), Fourfold Fullness (K14), Central Flow
(K15) and Huang Shu (K16). At this point it encircles the
navel and continues its rise to the chest further intersecting
the Foot Shao Yin Kidney Channel at Shang Bend (K17),
Stone Pass (K18), Yin Metropolis (K19), Open Valley
(K20) and Mysterious Gate (K21).
It then disperses into the ribs and chest.
A branch continues out of the dispersion to run up

and through the throat and face, running around the lips and
ending in the nasal cavity.
Another pathway emerges from the Qi Thoroughfare

at Surging Qi (St30) of the Foot Yangming Stomach
Channel and descends along the medial aspect of the thigh
to behind the knee, continuing down along the medial
margin of the tibia, it passes to behind the inner ankle bone
where it divides.
One branch goes further down the Foot Shao Yin

Kidney Channel and disperses in the sole of the foot.
The other branch comes to the upper surface of the

foot and then goes down into the foot between the first and
second toes.
A final pathway emerges from the Qi Thoroughfare

and ascends internally in front of the spine.
81
Du Mai Pathway
The Du Mai originates deep in the pelvic cavity at the Qi
Thoroughfare.
It emerges at Meeting of Yin (Ren1) of the Ren Mai, in the

perineum between the anus and the genitals.
It passes posteriorly to Forceful Leader (Du1) at the tip of

the tailbone, then travels simultaneously through different
pathways.
One pathway travels from Forceful Leader (Du1)

downward through the buttocks to the upper thigh where it
intersects with both the Foot Shao Yin Kidney and Foot Taiyang
Bladder channels and then returns to the spine. This branch then
runs up the spine and spirally wraps the kidneys.
The other pathway ascends the spine from Forceful Leader

(Du1) passing through Lumbar Shu (Du2), Lumbar Yang Pass
(Du3), Life Gate (Du4), Suspended Pivot (Du5), Spinal Center
(Du6), Central Pivot (Du7), Sinew Contraction (Du8),
Extremity of Yang (Du9), Ling Spirit Tower (Du10), Spirit
Path (Du11) and Body Pillar (Du12) below the third vertebrae.
At Body Pillar (Du12) a bilateral branch goes to Wind

Gate (UB12) and then returns to the Du Mai at Fire Path (Du13)
below the first vertebrae.
The Du Mai continues up the spine through the back of the

neck passing through Great Hammer (Du14), Mute’s Gate
(Du15) and finally to the nape of the neck at Wind Mansion
(Du16).
From Wind Mansion (Du16) the main branch continues up

the midline to the vertex of the head passing through Brain’s Door
(Du17), Unyielding Space (Du18), Behind the Vertex (Du19)
and to Hundred Convergences (Du20).
A divergent branch enters the brain at Wind Mansion

(Du16) and ascends to the vertex, emerging at Hundred
Convergences (Du20), where it joins the main branch.
From there the Du Mai travels forward along the midline to

the forehead passing through Before the Vertex (Du21),
Fontanel Meeting (Du22), Upper Star (Du23) and Spirit Court
(Du24). It then runs down the forehead and nose passing through
Original Bone-Hole (Du25) on the tip of the nose, Human
Center (Du26) in the depression below the nose, Extremity of
the Mouth (Du27) at the peak of the upper lip and finally ends at
Gum Intersection (Du28), in the cleft in the upper gum. Du Pathway (Partial)
Finally a branch of the Du Mai emerges from deep in the

abdomen where it joins the Ren Mai and ascends the front midline of
the body.
82
Yangqiao Mai Pathway
The pathway of the Yangqiao Mai begins in the

depression one half inch below the outer anklebone at
Yangqiao (UB62) of the Foot Tai Yang Bladder Channel.
Passing through Subservient Visitor (UB61).
It begins its ascent up the lateral aspect of the leg

where it intersects Instep Yang (UB59) three inches above
the outer ankle bone.
Continuing up the lateral aspect of the leg and trunk

it takes a slight medial curve and intersects Bone-hole
Residence (GB29) of the Foot Shao Yang Gall Bladder
Channel in the depression above the ilium.
It then continues its ascension of the trunk with a

slight and gradual posterior curve to the lateral aspect of the
shoulder where it intersects Upper Arm Shu (SI10) of the
Hand Tai Yang Small Intestine Channel. It crosses over the
shoulder, intersecting Shoulder Bone (LI15) and Great
Bone (LI16) of the Hand Yang Ming Large Intestine
Channel, as it passes to the front of the body.
It then runs up the neck, over the jaw and past the
corners of the mouth intersecting Earth Granary (St4),
Great Bone-hole (St3) and Tear Container (St1) of the
Foot Yang Ming Stomach Channel on its way to the inner
canthus of the eye where it intersects Bright Eyes (UB1) of
the Foot Tai Yang Bladder Channel.
From there it joins the Yinqiao Mai and the Foot Tai
Yang Bladder Channel and runs up the forehead and over the
lateral aspect of the head where it intersects Wind Pool
(GB20) of the Foot Shao Yang Gall Bladder Channel
posterior to the mastoid process.
The Yangqiao then enters the brain at Wind

Mansion (Du16) of the Du Mai.
83
Ren Mai Pathway
The Ren Mai originates deep in the pelvic cavity at

the Qi Thoroughfare, encircles the internal organs, and
emerges at Meeting of Yin (Ren1), in the perineum
between the genitals and anus.
It then simultaneously travels two different

pathways.
One pathway rises up and comes to the surface at

the midline of the abdomen at Curved Bone (Ren2),
continues its ascension up the midline of the abdomen
traveling through Central Pole (Ren3) (the vertical and
horizontal center of the body), Origin Pass (Ren4),
Stone Gate (Ren5), Sea of Qi (Ren6) and Yin
Intersection (Ren7) where it intersects the Chong Mai. It
continues its ascent, passing through Spirit’s Palace
(Ren8), Water Divide (Ren9), Lower Venter (Ren10),
Established Place (Ren11), Central Venter (Ren12),
Upper Venter (Ren13), Great Palace (Ren14) and
Turtledove Tail (Ren15) above the xiphoid process.
At Turtledove Tail (Ren15) small branches

known as the connecting vessels of the Ren Mai disperse
downward into the surface of the abdomen.
The main pathway continues its ascent up through

the midline of the chest to the throat passing through
Center Courtyard (Ren16), Chest Center (Ren17),
Jade Hall (Ren18), Purple Palace (Ren19), Florid
Canopy (Ren20) and Jade Pivot (Ren21).
It continues up through the throat where it passes

through Celestial Chimney (Ren22) and Ridge Spring
(Ren23) intersecting the Yinwei Mai at both these
locations.
It travels from here to the chin at Sauce

Receptacle (Ren24).
From Sauce Receptacle (Ren24) it circles

around the lips on the inside of the mouth, divides and
passes up to Tear Container (St1) of the Foot Yang Ming
Stomach Channel, where it end.
The second pathway enters the spine deep in the

pelvic cavity and ascends up the back.
84
Yinqiao Mai Pathway
The pathway of the Yinqiao Mai originates one half

inch below the inner ankle bone, between the two sinews, at
Yin Qiao (K6) of the Foot Shao Yin Kidney Channel.
It then ascends the medial aspect of the leg,

intersecting Faith Intersection (K8) of the Foot Shao Yin
Channel, two inches above the inner ankle bone, between
the bone and sinew.
It continues its ascension up the medial aspect of the

leg, penetrates the genital region and continues ascending
internally up the abdomen, chest, and thorax where it
emerges at Empty Basin (St12) of the Foot Yang Ming
Stomach Channel in the depression above and at the
midpoint of the clavicle.
It continues its ascension of the throat, passing by

Human Prognosis (St9), into and up the medial aspect of
the cheek to the medial corner of the eye (inner canthus)
where it intersects Bright Eyes (UB1) of the Foot Tai Yang
Bladder Channel, joining the Foot Tai Yang Bladder Channel
and Yangqiao Mai.
It then ascends over the head and enters the brain.

NSEV Acupuncture & Chinese Herbs
There are two primary strategies for utilizing Chinese herbs within this NSEV Acupuncture Model.
Strategy 1 : This strategy uses your NSEV diagnosis & utilizes pre-formulated NSEV Formulae.
You REINFORCE the NSEV acupuncture treatment with the appropriate NSEV Herbal Formula.
With this strategy, you are messaging the vessel on the deepest, subtlest level with the acupuncture
session & REINFORCING the treatment message with herbal formulae that the patient takes several
times per day.
This strategy is most commonly employed when:
1. You are looking to entrench the extraordinary vessel treatments with interventions the patient can do
at home on a daily basis.
2. The specific symptoms or signs that you are addressing with the herbs strongly match NSEV
extraordinary vessel non-somatic and somatic signs and symptoms.
3. You are treating depression or other mood disorders.
4. You are attempting to primarily influence the function of the vessel, i.e, protection, discharge,
assimilation, incorporation, storage of Yin or Yang or Access of Yin or Yang.
5. You are cultivating and/or exploring the vessel. Harmonizing Formula may be altered daily to
reinforce personal cultivation practices and home treatments with magnets and ion pumping cords.
The NSEV Extraordinary Vessel Herbal Formula were developed to engage this strategy. When utilized
with clinical treatments and home self care & cultivation practices they complete a comprehensive NSEV
treatment and lifestyle program.
Strategy 2: This strategy requires making an additional diagnosis & writing an herbal formula.
You SUPPLEMENT the NSEV acupuncture session with an herbal formula that addresses a different level
of functioning and/or aspects of the patient’s condition. In this strategy, you are not looking to reinforce
the acupuncture treatment message but rather send additional messages to address specific signs and
symptoms on the level of organ systems and regular pathways.
In this case you would be writing an herbal formula directed at a specific Zang-Fu or meridian
pathologies and utilizing Chinese medicine herb writing skills.
In this approach, you may view the herb formula as addressing the root & branch and the NSEV
acupuncture sessions as treating the “terrain” in which the root & branch exist.
This strategy is most often employed when you are dealing with signs, symptoms & complaints that need
directed attention that do not directly relate to the NSEV vessel signs & symptoms or when you are
looking to address multiple levels of functioning with different intervention methods.
It is best employed by acupuncturists with in depth training in writing Chinese herbal prescriptions.
93

emotional level.
60 drops (two droppers full) Directs the formula to the emotional/
physical level
90 drops + (three plus dropper full) Directs the herbs to the physical level
Frequency: The frequency of herbs is determined by wether the situation is acute

or chronic.
Acute situations: Take a dose every two hours, up two 6x or more per day.
Chronic situations : Take a dose 2x – 3x day

Rolling the Yangwei
Rolling the Yangwei is a simple yet profound method for relaxing the Yangwei. This
is a great way to release or let go of the stress of the day. The impact of rolling
the Yangwei is immediate and has a cumulative impact in preventing the buildup
of stress which inhibits our optimum health and wellness.

Moxa the Chong (Abdomen)
Moxibustion is the burning of the herb moxa or mugwort (Artemisia Vulgaris). Its use
predates acupuncture by thousands of years. It is now used throughout the world
including China, Asia, Europe, and North America.
There are two types of moxa that we utilize in NSEV Healing: stick-on moxa and pole
moxa.
Stick-on moxa are small, tightly wound cones on a base, that stick directly onto the skin.
Pole moxa are cigar sized, tightly wound tubes that are held above the skin.
Preparing to Moxa the Chong

Choose an area in your home that is comfortable and well-ventilated. Moxa smoke may
leave a lingering odor in the room and on clothes.
Pole Moxa
•Have a cup or bowl to tap the ashes in when necessary.
•If necessary, you may mark the points on your body.
•Light the moxa pole (peel off the outer layer of paper).
•Starting with the highest points and working your way down, do pecking moxa* at each
point for one minute. You will do each of the six points for one minute which is one cycle.
You will do 1 to 4 cycles.
•When finished with your treatment extinguish moxa pole either by wrapping the end of
the pole in tinfoil or by placing the burning end in a bowl of sand. Do not wet moxa stick.
*Pecking Moxa: Hold the moxa just above the skin, close enough to generate heat. When
hot, lift up and quickly place back down above the point.
Stick-On Moxa
•Light individual moxa cones and put on points. Let them burn through.
•If cones become too hot, remove them.
•Repeat 1-4 cycles.

Heaven Earth Meditation (Basic)
Preparing for Heaven Earth Meditation
To prepare for the Heaven Earth Meditation find a comfortable place, either indoors or
outdoors. Remove your shoes and socks. You can do this meditation sitting or standing. For
this meditation we will be using three acupuncture locations: Bai Huai Du 20, Qi Hai Ren 6 &
Bubbling Spring K. 1. We will locate them before we begin the meditation.
a. Bai Huai Du 20
Fold ears over. From the tip of the

fold bring fingers up to the top of
the head. Du 20 is where they
meet.
b. Qi Hai Ren 6
Two fingers widths below the

navel.
c. Bubbling Spring K 1
On the sole of the foot,

approximately one third of the way
down, between base of second toe
and the heel.
107
Heaven Earth Meditation
1. Standing or sitting place feet flat on the ground, about shoulder width apart.
2. Take a few breaths inhaling through the nose and exhaling through the mouth.
3. Feel your feet flat on ground, moving weight slightly to the front of the foot and settling in.
4. Feel roots descend from Bubbling Spring K 1. Do not “push” roots down but feel natural flow of
roots going down as you stand (or sit) with feet flat and observe.
5. Visualize your “Roots” go down and out, collecting Yin influences. Experience the yin influences
ascending into your body. Roots may be visualized as energetic spirals intermingling with the
energetic spirals of the earth.
6. Feel “tail” from base of spine descend. Feel this energetic tail as it
hits the ground and forms its own energetic spiral.
7. This creates a triangle rooting you to the earth and gathering its yin
influences. Triangles don’t wobble, they find their center point, even
if they are imperfect and uneven.
8. Place the pointer, middle or ring finger (same finger from each
hand) on the top of your head at Du. 20. The fingers should form
a V at the top of your head. Take a few breaths, inhaling through
the nose and exhaling out through the mouth.
9. Remove hands and visualize these “beams of lights or air roots”

as they spiral up into the sky. As they do they form a V-like vessel
gathering the descending yang influences of heaven.
10. The infinite influences of heaven may be viewed as descending spirals gathering and entering
at Du 2O.
11. Place the tongue on the roof of the mouth behind the back of the teeth.
12. Enjoy breathing in through the nose and out the mouth. You may breathe naturally if you
prefer.
13. Breathe deeply into your abdomen and visualize the ascending Yin spirals & descending Yang
spirals gathering in your lower belly behind Ren 6 (Sea of Qi).
14. Enjoy this breathing for as long as you like or you may continue on to the Empty Vessel
Meditation.
108
Empty Vessel Meditation
Heaven Earth Meditation flows into the Empty Vessel Meditation
Begin by doing the Heaven Earth Meditation. Follow the steps below to engage the
Empty Vessel Meditation.
1. Breathing in, feel the Yin influences of Earth like a swirling mist, ascend into your body
through the bottom of your feet, at Bubbling Spring (K 1)
2. As you inhale deeply, see this swirling mist as it continues up through your body,
nourishing and washing your organs as the swirling yin ascend up into the head.
3. Breathe deeply into your abdomen and experience the ascending yin mist spirals
intermingling with the descending yang light spirals.
4. Exhale vigorously and feel the spiraling mist taking “all that you do not need” and “all
that is not you” out through the top of your head at Hundred Convergences (Du 20).
5. See the exiting swirling mist as it enters the Sky of Spiraling Spirals and intermingles
and dissipates into the vastness and light of the cosmos.
6. Breathing in, feel the Yang influences of heaven, like a swirling light, descend into your
body through the top of your head at Hundred Convergences (Du 20).
7. As you inhale deeply see this swirling light as it continues down through your body,
invigorating and cleansing the organs as it descends to Qi Hai (Ren 6).
8. Breathe deeply into your abdomen and experience the descending yang light spirals
intermingling with the ascending yin mist spirals.
9. Exhale vigorously and feel the spiraling light taking “all that you do not need” and “all
that is not you” out through the bottom of your feet at Bubbling Spring (K 1).
10. See the exiting light spirals as they enter the Earth of Rooting Spirals and intermingles
and dissipates into the great density and dark that is the spiraling earth.
11. You have completed the Empty Vessel Meditation. Enjoy.
109
Lao Gong
What is Lao Gong?
Lao Gong is a point of the hand which acts as a cave-like energetic entryway, where vital
influences flow in and out of the body to unite with the universal flow.
Why cultivate Lao Gong?

Lao Gong is cultivated to enhance “breathing” in the Yang influences of Heaven &
“gathering” in the Yin Influences of Earth.
What is Opening Lao Gong?

Opening Lao Gong is a simple self-massage exercise that harmonizes the internal
environment & clears the blockages that interfere with the normal flow of vital influences
through Lao Gong.
What does Opening Lao Gong do?

“Opening Lao Gong” before cultivation practice enhances the gathering and transmission
of the universal Yin & Yang influences within oneself.
“Opening Lao Gong” before healing practice enables the smooth transmission of the
universal Yin & Yang influences from practitioner to the outside world, including other
individuals.
Preparing to Open Lao Gong

You will need to locate Lao Gong (P 8), Hundred Convergences (Du 20) & Bubbling Spring
(K 1)
Lao Gong Hundred Convergences Bubbling Spring
1. Locate Lao Gong on the palm of your hand.

2. Sit or stand with the feet about shoulder width apart. Feel Bubbling Spring (K 1)
connect solidly with the ground.
3. Position yourself with the Hundred Convergences (Du 20) at the top of your head
pointing towards the sky.
4. Locate the distal finger pad of each of your fingers. Each of these is connected to a
physical, emotional & spiritual function within the body.
5. All massaging will be done in series of seven (7) strokes.
6. You may massage with light to heavy pressure; whatever feels comfortable and
right at that moment.
110
Opening Lao Gong
1. Gently place the pinky of your left hand, with the finger pads up, on the four fingers
of your right hand. Using the distal pad of your right thumb, rub the distal pad of
the pinky up from the distal crease to the end of the finger, seven times in quick
succession. Repeat for each finger pad from ring finger to middle finger to index
finger and ending with the thumb.
2. Repeat the entire process using the thumb of your left hand to massage the fingers
of the right hand.
3. For an extended Opening of Lao Gong, repeat the above process seven times.
4. When you have completed massaging the finger pads of both hands place your
hands firmly together emphasizing the connection at the Lao Gongs.
5. While firmly pressing your palms together quickly rotate your hands in opposing
directions 49 times. This should generate heat in the palm of your hands, especially
at Lao Gong.
6. Upon completion of the rotations, quickly place your hands on any area of your
body to which you like to give attention.
111
Magnets & Ion Pumping Cords
The use of magnets in NSEV work evolved out of a desire to engage the extraordinary
vessel treatments in a way that could be self-administered, without needles. In the great
tradition of Chinese healing, dozens of substances and techniques were explored clinically
for their effectiveness in engaging the master points for this specific purpose. Different
herbs and metals were tried. Magnets, with the ion pumping cords attached, were the
most effective for this purpose.
Many types of magnets were tried and tested, from a lower gauss to a higher gauss, from
larger size to smaller size. The magnets that proved most consistently effective and are
now recommended for use with NSEV treatments are small (.06” x .02” diameter) high
strength 9,000 gauss gold-plated rare earth magnets. These particular magnets have
proven most effective for NSEV treatments. Originally, treatment was done with the north
pole on the master point and the south pole on the couple point. While effective, it was
discovered through clinical use that treatment results were inconsistent and often created
reverse reactions; i.e., exaggerating symptoms they were supposed to alleviate. When the
south pole is placed on both the master and couple points, this does not happen.
More than 250,000 NSEV treatments have been administered in the last several decades
using needles and/or magnets and ion pumping cords. These treatments have proven to
be consistently effective and extremely safe when used in this manner.

Pathway
The Chong Mai begins deep in the lower abdominal region at the Qi Thoroughfare. It emerges at St30 of the Stomach channel and Ren1 of
the Ren Mai. It then branches out and travels several pathways simultaneously.
One pathway ascends the abdomen traveling with and lateral to the Kidney channel intersecting K11, 12, 13, 14, 15 and 16. At this point it
encircles the navel and continues its rise to the chest further intersecting the Kidney Channel at K17, 18, 19, 20 and 21.
It then disperses into the ribs and chest.
A branch continues out of the dispersion to run up and through the throat and face, running around the lips and ending in the nasal cavity.
Another pathway emerges from the Qi Thoroughfare at St30 of the Stomach Channel and descends along the medial aspect of the thigh to
behind the knee, continuing down along the medial margin of the tibia, it passes to behind the inner ankle bone where it divides.
One branch goes further down the Kidney Channel and disperses in the sole of the foot.
The other branch comes to the upper surface of the foot and then goes down into the foot between the first and second toes.

A final pathway emerges from the Qi Thoroughfare and ascends internally in front of the spine.

Pathway
The Du Mai originates deep in the pelvic cavity at the Qi Thoroughfare.
It emerges at Ren1 of the Ren Mai, in the perineum between the anus and the genitals.
It passes posteriorly to Du1 at the tip of the tailbone, then travels simultaneously through different pathways.
One pathway travels from Du1 downward through the buttocks to the upper thigh where it intersects with both the Kidney and Bladder
channels and then returns to the spine. This branch then runs up the spine and spirally wraps the kidneys.
The other pathway ascends the spine from Du1 passing through Du2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 below the third vertebrae.
At Du12 a bilateral branch goes to UB12 and then returns to the Du Mai at Du13 below the first vertebrae.
The Du Mai continues up the spine through the back of the neck passing through Du14, 15 and finally to the nape of the neck at Du16.
From Du16 the main branch continues up the midline to the vertex of the head passing through Du17, 18, 19 and to Du20.
A divergent branch enters the brain at Du16 and ascends to the vertex, emerging at Du20, where it joins the main branch.
From there the Du Mai travels forward along the midline to the forehead passing through Du21, 22, 23 and 24. It then runs down the
forehead and nose passing through Du25 on the tip of the nose, Du26 in the depression below the nose, Du27 at the peak of the upper lip
and finally ends at Du28, in the cleft in the upper gum.
Finally a branch of the Du Mai emerges from deep in the abdomen where it joins the Ren Mai and ascends the front midline of the body.

Pathway
The pathway of the Yangqiao Mai begins in the depression one half inch below the outer anklebone at UB62 of the Bladder Channel. Passing
through UB61.
It begins its ascent up the lateral aspect of the leg where it intersects UB59 three inches above the outer ankle bone.
Continuing up the lateral aspect of the leg and trunk it takes a slight medial curve and intersects GB29 of the Gall Bladder Channel in the
depression above the ilium.
It then continues its ascension of the trunk with a slight and gradual posterior curve to the lateral aspect of the shoulder where it intersects
SI10 of the Small Intestine Channel. It crosses over the shoulder, intersecting LI15 and LI16 of the Large Intestine Channel, as it passes to
the front of the body.
It then runs up the neck, over the jaw and past the corners of the mouth intersecting St4, St3 and St1 of the Stomach Channel on its way to
the inner canthus of the eye where it intersects UB1 of the Bladder Channel.
From there it joins the Yinqiao Mai and the Bladder Channel and runs up the forehead and over the lateral aspect of the head where it
intersects GB20 of the Gall Bladder Channel posterior to the mastoid process.
The Yangqiao then enters the brain at Du16 of the Du Mai. 142

Pathway
The Ren Mai originates deep in the pelvic cavity at the Qi Thoroughfare, encircles the internal organs, and emerges at Ren1, in the
perineum between the genitals and anus.
It then simultaneously travels two different pathways.
One pathway rises up and comes to the surface at the midline of the abdomen at Ren2, continues its ascension up the midline of the
abdomen traveling through Ren3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 where it intersects the Chong Mai. It continues its ascent, passing through Ren8, 9, 10, 11,
12, 13, 14 and 15 above the xiphoid process.
At Ren15 small branches known as the connecting vessels of the Ren Mai disperse downward into the surface of the abdomen.
The main pathway continues its ascent up through the midline of the chest to the throat passing through Ren16, 17, 18, 19, 20 and 21.
It continues up through the throat where it passes through Ren22 and Ren23 intersecting the Yinwei Mai at both these locations.
It travels from here to the chin at Ren24.
From Ren24 it circles around the lips on the inside of the mouth, divides and passes up to St1 of the Stomach Channel, where it ends.
The second pathway enters the spine deep in the pelvic cavity and ascends up the back.

Pathway
The pathway of the Yinqiao Mai originates one half inch below the inner ankle bone, between the two
sinews, at K6.
It then ascends the medial aspect of the leg, intersecting K8 of the Kidney Channel, two inches above the
inner ankle bone, between the bone and sinew.
It continues its ascension up the medial aspect of the leg, penetrates the genital region and continues
ascending internally up the abdomen, chest, and thorax where it emerges at St12 of the Stomach Channel
in the depression above and at the midpoint of the clavicle.
It continues its ascension of the throat, passing by St9, into and up the medial aspect of the cheek to the
medial corner of the eye where it intersects UB1 of the Bladder Channel, joining the Bladder Channel and
Yangqiao Mai.
144
It then ascends over the head and enters the brain.
