The Twelve Primary Qi Channels - Part 1

You should also know the organ's Yin and Yang. In our body, there are six Yang organs and six Yin organs. Each Yang organ is associated with and harmonized by a Yin organ. Paired Yin and Yang organs belong to the same phase in the Five Phases. Their channels are sequential to each other in the circulation of Qi, their functions are closely related, and disease in one usually affects the other. The Twelve Primary Qi Channels - Part 2.

The Stomach Channel of Foot-Yang Brightness The spleen (Yin) and the stomach (Yang) are paired organs. The Yin/Yang relationship between the spleen and the stomach is a particularly strong example of the relationship between organs. Though there are some patterns relating to Deficiency of the Stomach (many of these originate in the spleen), most stomach disorders are caused from excess.

Part 2 of the Twelve Primary Channels discusses the stomach channel, the heart channel, and the small intestine. Each Yang organ is associated with and harmonized by a Yin organ. The following discusses the urinary bladder, the kidney channel, and the Pericardium Channel of Hand. The Urinary Bladder Channel of Foot—Greater Yang The Kidneys (Yin) and the Urinary Bladder (Yang) are paired Organs. The main function of the Urinary Bladder is to transform fluids into urine and excrete it from the body. In Qigong, the Urinary Bladder has never enjoyed serious attention.

The Kidney Channel of Foot—Lesser Yin The Kidneys store Original Essence (Yuan Jing) and are therefore responsible for growth, development, and reproductive functions. Deficient Kidney Yang symptoms are significantly associated with loss of energy or warmth. The Twelve Primary Qi Channels - Part 4.

The Triple Burner Channel of Hand—Lesser Yang At least as far back as the 3rd century A.D., in the Classic on Disorders (Nan Jing) the Triple Burner was regarded as “having a name but no form.” Regulating the Qi to a normally “smooth-flow” state is one of the main Qigong training methods for maintaining health.
