It can also be seen as the sinews (yang of yang) supporting the bones (yin of yang). The five mu points in order are KD (GB-25), SP (at LV-13), GB (at GB-24), LV (at LV-14), and HT (at CV-14).Īt GB-25, we see the wood element supporting its mother, water, In terms of Channel Divergence physiology, this is LV blood supporting KD jing to keep a pathogen latent. (It would pair well with ST-25, Celestial Pivot, in another type of treatment, perhaps.)įrom CV-3, the channel then meets with five mu points, similar to the GB Channel Divergence. As such, it has a very archetypal resonance, helping one find their ‘spiritual centre’ as it were. (The LV channel goes to both CV-2 and CV-3.) CV-3 is the ‘Central Pole’ around which the heavenly constellations revolve. This is the Lower Confluent point with the GB channel divergence. Luo points treat counterflow and stagnation.įrom LV-5, the channel divergence meets with either CV-2 or CV-3, at the margin of the pubic hair. Such could have been going on in Chloe’s mind, with Kennedy’s assessment of her as a ‘maggot’ echoing and augmenting the pain caused by emotions-blood stagnating. As a haunting, it includes emotions which repeat themselves without any real passing on, without bearing children - sterile emotions, as it were. It can be any desire that haunts a person emotionally. Often those desires can be sexual or romantic, but not always. This point, ‘wormwood canal’, treats all sorts of parasites, including those desires which gnaw at a person emotionally. The Liver luo goes to the genitals and to the breasts. The relationship to blood continues as the channel passes from ST-42 to LV-5, the luo point of the Liver channel.
Does one’s life seem disconnected from that mission? Is the ‘curriculum’ out of focus? Is it lacking in substance? ST-42 nourishes yin, to bring substance to the blueprint as it meets one’s emotional vision of the world. Specifically, as a Chong Mai point, it treats how one’s perception relates to one’s ‘blueprint’ or ‘mission’ in life. This point also, because of its association with BL-1, treats how one sees the world, gazes out at it, or takes it in. It is thus very powerful, and sets up the tone for the rest of the Channel Divergence.įrom BL-59, the Channel Divergence proceeds to the Chong Mai point ST-42. Taken together, this point treats the emotional pain of seeing the world. The Yang Qiao Mai concern how a person sees the world. Luo points, through their relation to blood, are associated with emotions. Xi Cleft points are used for alleviating pain. This point is the Xi Cleft point of Yang Qiao Mai, It is also the Luo point of Yang. Kennedy’s own weakness was shown in being unable to wield power without it going to her head, and someone else paid the price for her hubris.Īs mentioned, the trajectory of the Liver Channel Divergence begins at BL-59. I would suggest a weakness in the group, though, too.
Again, suicide occurs when pain outweighs the resources to cope. The LV CD beings at BL-59, which treats pain of world. But it can become a demon as well, creating loops which serve to racket up pain after each cycle.įor Chloe, an intervention using the Liver Channel Divergence may have been helpful. She may have had a mind well attuned to the creation of verbal feedback loops, which can be a strength and provide for a strong memory. Chloe had no resources to alleviate the pain she experienced in the face of uncertainty, verbal abuse from Kennedy, and who knows what else from her past. Suicide happens when pain outweighs the resources to cope. This is also the episode in which Chloe is found hanging from a noose she made for herself. Although that happened for Buffy and the Scoobies, it also happened on a more metaphorical level for the potential slayer, Chloe. Especially when exchanging one’s strengths for a demon. This is very much a question for the Liver and Gallbladder organs: the Liver is the general who strategises, while the GB is the one to give courage to take up a challenge. The episode tackles the question of using one’s power while one has it, vs waiting with fear for something to react to.
