Through many years of studying and practicing Chi Gong, the author nas achieved a very high awareness of the energy field of his body and those of other living beings. Upon studying the theories of the meridian system and acupuncture points in traditional Chinese medicine,the author discovered that these matched exactly his personal experience. Furthermore, the author could analyse and document his accumulated experiences and thereby deduce several special characteristics of acupuncture points and their relationship to the circulation of Chi.The author proposes five characteristics of acupuncture points: 1. Every acupuncture point can control the direction of Chi circulation along the meridian where it is located. Each meridian point has its own natural direction of controlling Chi movement. For example, some points influence the Chi in an upward direction, while other points move the Chi downward. 2. Every acupuncture point can control the amount of Chi circulating within its meridian.The amount of control varies from point to point. For example, The point Quze (Pericardian 3),on the Pericardian Meridian of Hand Jueyin can produce stronger Chi than the points Neiguan (Pericardian 6), and Laogong (Pericardian 8). 3. The intrinsic attribute of a point as described in number one above is also altered by changes in the environment, changes in the internal state of an individual, and by the mind of the individual. 4. By stimulating different acupuncture points along a meridian one can affect the condition of the related internal organ. The effect will depend upon whether the Chi moves toward an organ or away from an organ. For example, by stimulating the point Zusanli (Stomach 36),Chi in the Stomach Meridian of Foot Yangraing moves away from the stomach. The stomach contracts, becomes stressed and decreases in Chi. The opposite effect on the stomach can be achieved by stimulating Tiangshu (Stomach 25). 5. The most important characteristic of acupuncture points is that the stimulation of every point causes a specific Chi flow through all the meridians and a different response in every organ. Each of these Chi routes has a specific biological significance.
