Notes

Five Elements Spirit Perspective

Spirit of the Point	Meeting of Yang is the meeting place of mainly Yang vessels, next to DU-1, where Yang Qi collects low on the spine, at its base. This point can lift a person's Yang energy in mind, spirit and body, helping with motivation, movement, force and power, or any time these are under threat.
Worsley	Attracts and stores great strength, a powerful inner resource that mobilizes dynamic action. Location: On the buttock beside the sacrococcygeal joint, ½ ACI from the midline. Needle depth: 4 fen Moxa: 5 cones
When to Consider	When motivation, movement, force or power are threatened When the Yang energy of mind, spirit and body needs lifting When a person needs to be roused out of inertia For any wasting disease with paralysis and weakness
Combinations	REN-1 Meeting of Yin with UB-35: REN-1 complements this point
Notes	Responds well to moxa when there is cold Takes from five to fifteen moxa cones
