According to Chinese philosophy, the human body is governed by 'Chi' which
is continuously circulating along the acupuncture channels. CHI or life energy
is one of the most fundamental concepts of Chinese thinking. It is described
as a basis of every living and non living entity of 'Brahmand' (cosmos), its
nearest equivalent in Hindu Philosophy is PRANA.
The CHI consists of two dynamically opposite yet harmonising energies called
YIN and YANG. YIN signifies the female and negative energy, while YANG signifies
the male and positive energy. In health, YIN and YANG are in perfect balance;
any imbalance between the two cause diseases. Through needling, the acupuncturist
balances the energies effecting a cure.
The energy or CHI circulating through the entire body regulates the circulation
of the blood ingestion and the auto protection of the organism. It also flows
along the meridian. The meridians are passages or channels in the body where
the vital energy CHI circulates. The acupuncture points are locations where
the Channels come to the surface and are easily accessible to needling, moxibustion
and pressure.
