Heart Disease And Dantien (Tanden in Japanese) And The
Importance Of The Ren Meridian
Any marshal artist or zenist would know that the
energy source of the Force lies at the area of abdomen
about an inch below the navel. This area is called
Dantien in Chinese, Tanden in Japanese. It is a vital
area for the entire body.
"The Kidney energy below the navel is the source of
Life and the root of 12 Meridians"* When the Kidney
energy pulsates, there is life, and the cessation of
the pulse is death. Atrophy of the muscle or
flabbiness around the area indicates weak
constitution. It is essential for an acupuncturist to
strengthen the energy pulse when deficiency is found.
Since the Dantien area is the energy source, the Soul
must be firmly grounded there. This is the area where
the mind and the body connect. In oriental medicine,
the Soul consists of the Kidney which contains the
Will or the Zhi in Chinese and the Heart which
contains the Spirit or Shen in Chinese. When the Will
and the Spirit are together and at the right place,
the heart functions well. Therefore, for any heart
disease, it is quite important to bring back the
energy to Dantien, the center.
Dantien (??)means the Field of Life. There are two
other Dantiens. Just above the pubic bone (the
inferior Dantien) and in the brain (the superior
Dantien). Since they all lie on the Ren line (extra
meridian different from regular 12), it is important
to balance the flow of the meridian. Ren runs from
the perineum to the chin. There are many good points
along the meridian, but one in particular, Ren-22, is
of importance. Ren-22 is named Heavenly Prominence.
It is at the suprasternal notch at the base of the
throat. This point is very spiritual and healing. It
has a direct connection with the heart, the tongue,
and the uterus. From here, one can listen to the
heart and so doing it heals the Will and the Spirit.
How to bring about the process is my topic in the next
month newsletter.
