This story about the discovery of Acupuncture relating to warriors being struck with arrows, is a false story designed to mislead Westerners from learning the secrets of this art. In fact, the acupuncture meridians can be felt and the flow of the Chi can be perceived by those who practice Qi Gong or Meditation. This is how the meridians were discovered and the acupuncture points perceived, by adepts of breathing science following the flow of their own Chi as it circulated throughout their own bodies. It is not the needle or the knowledge of where to place the needles that is most important in the practice of Acupuncture. What is most important is for the Acupuncture physician, himself, to know how to circulate and control his own Chi. Only then, can he or she have the power to manipulate and re-direct the Chi in other people. Physician, Heal Thyself.

The physicians of ancient China were able to charge their clients for keeping them healthy and to treat them for free if they became sick because these physicians were also experts of Qi Gong and movement therapy. Thus, they were teachers as well as physicians. They taught their clients how to keep themselves healthy with proper diet, breathing and movement which were considered to be of a higher healing level than acupuncture, which is used after the client becomes sick.

The very best way to understand Chi, is to experience it yourself. Qi Gong (or Chi Kung) breathing techniques can produce observable Chi flow in anyone who seeks to find it. In fact, without an experiential knowledge of one's own chi, no one can hope to master the art and science of Acupuncture. Meditation, Qi Gong and practice of Tai Chi Chuan are a sure and effective way of discovering one's own chi and of maintaining one's own health and long life.

Acupuncture is not recognized in Traditional Chinese Medicine as being of the highest level of healing. Breath Therapy (Qi Gong), Food Therapy (Natural Foods Nutrition), and herbology (pharmacology), are considered higher in treatment value. Thus, an acupuncturist is also skilled in these arts as well. Especially in modern society where Yin poisons such as sugar, white flour, white rice and various chemical additives make up such a high percentage of modern meals, nutritional training and knowledge are vital. Thus, regardless of the correct acupuncture answer for question #9, a patient with the symptoms described is probably suffering from a blood sugar imbalance of a hypoglycemic or diabetic type. And so, the patient should be questioned about his diet before automatically treating him with acupuncture. Acupuncture can relieve his symptoms but proper nutirition is probably what such a patient needs to cure his illness. Acupuncture is not a cure-all but is one of many methods for the treatment of illness.

Awareness of breath is a basic skill acquired in meditation and qi gong practice. The realms of Chi Knowledge, ability to penetrate into the patient's body with your Mind Awareness, perception of the small and awareness of the great, psychic skills, wisdom, and Enlightenment, are a few of the powers attained through such practice.

Unnatural light (electricity), illusory entertainments (late night television watching), and mechanical work periods (working according to the dictates of a clock rather than the rhythm of Nature), all pull Mankind off of the Path of True Health and Longevity.

Think of the Triple Burner as like a candle flame. It exists separately from the wick and the wax but is dependant upon them. In the same way, the Triple Burner is separate from the digestive organs and exists as an energy plexus. Also, while practicing the energy circulation of the Nine Treasure Exercises, during the hip rotations the inner organs can be felt as the chi circulates around the inside of the organ cavity. Thus, the digestive organs as a whole, between mouth and anus, contains three distinct sections that can be perceived as the Mind directs the Chi around the internal body cavity during these exercises.
