Human Body system -Jing Luo (23)

Xin Bao Jing or General Heart Meridian From the characters of the Chinese words, it is apparent that this meridian is related to the functions of the heart. To find this meridian you can trace it by opening your palm, following from the edge of the right side of the finger nail of your middle finger, to the centre of the palm (there is one point known as Lao Gong Xue) and follow the centre line up along the forearm, arm , shoulder then bend downwards to the left side about one inch from the nipple to a point known as Tian Chi Xue ( the left side of the body if you are using your left hand) . Actually the starting point of this meridian is from Tian Chi Xue however for the purpose of helping one to trace this meridian I do it in the reverse way. There are many important acupuncture points or pressure points along this meridian which are helpful to diseases related to the heart. Qu Zhe Xue is at the opposite side of the elbow along the meridian ie at the bend between the arm and elbow. It helps to relief inflammation of stomach or intestine. Shan Men Xue is 5” from the wrist line. It helps to relief heart pain. You can rub these points gently in circular movement first clockwise then anti-clock wise. Alternatively you can lightly beat these points. It is however not possible for layman to know each and every point in detail hence the best method I think would be to rub or beat this meridian gently. Starting from the tip of the middle finger then up till the point 1” to the left of the nipple known as Tian Chi Xue. Other than this there are two important acupuncture points or pressure points namely Shan Zhong Xue which located at the centre of the body which is the middle point of distance of two nipples and Kun Lun Xue which located behind the protruding bone at the external side of the foot above the heel. Rubbing these two points will help to assist the function of Xin Bao Jing. As stated earlier that bladder meridian is the exit point for dumping away the rubbish collected from each and every meridian. First you have to rub the Kun Lun Xue then follow by Shan Zhong Xue and then only rub the Xin Bao Jing or General Heart Meridian. By doing so you can help the body to expel a liquid in the body known as Xin Bao Ji liquid. It is generally believed that fat is being deposited in the body due to the fact that there is some blockages along the Xin Bao Jin or General Heart Meridian and in consequences thereof Xin Bao Ji liquid cannot be expelled from the body thereby causing fat to be deposited in the body. Thus by rubbing Kun Lun Xue then follow by Shan Zhong Xue and then only rub or beat the Xin Bao Jing you not only assist the proper function of the heart but also it is possible to avoid fat being deposited in the body or even remove some of the fat already deposited due to blockages of bladder meridian and its inability to expel Xin Bao Ji liquid from the body.
