Does anyone agree that there is a precise correlation between the description of the central, left and right energy channels according to Taoist Neigung and the exact anatomy of the nervous system as described by western anatomy?
Hi, Guy. I see a lot of people have looked but few have posted. Maybe they’re like me: I don’t know enough about anatomy to offer a useful response. I’ll wait and see if anyone else responds.
Hello again,
Thing is, do you accept the general principle that there should be some kind of correlation with something? Because there is not much physically about the body that Western medicine is not aware of. No, they left behind gross anatomy a long time ago, and are now piercing into the microscopic genetic.
But they may of missed a trick….
hi,
the energy channel that we know in tai chi and in acupuncture and in chinese massage is really a flow of chi that is often blocked by a lot of normal doing persons. the flow is begin to be done by the tai chi when you are able to do it relax…or by acupuncture or by chi gong etc…Pierre Émond
Ok, sorry, bit of a leading question, but yes, I certainly believe that there is such a precise correlation, and I think I can describe it quite accurately – my only problem is that, given the amount of doctors and generally well-trained scientific types in this community, the answer could not have been much more swiftly and decisively answered.
And by the way, do not think that an explanation of ‘qi’ or ‘qi channels’ in any way diminishes any appreciation of any sort of perceived mystery and wonder of such things. In actual fact, for me anyway, it enhances it, because these concepts become validated by objective reality.
But also, crucially, given this new knowledge, it in no way detracts from the fact that this Neigung technology simply cannot be inferred from the basis of this new understanding. The knowledge of how to work with this qi, though validated objectively, is derived from this long tradition of subjective experience and development.
Nice….
And by the way, the very fact of having the realisation of this new understanding, and being able to fully translate the subjective to the objective, opens many more doors than it closes – if there are any to be closed. Because of course it works both ways, so that the objective can inform the subjective.
Given the level of indisputable understanding of physics and technology, it is to my mind definite, that, whilst it is imperative to respect to the utmost the findings of such a long and distinguished subjective tradition, it is possible to open many new doors.
Nothing new, I suppose: yin/yang, their interdependency and interchangeability etc. etc.
But what is in the middle; re bagua and trigrams etc etc….
Nice…
