The Secret Treatise of the Spiritual Orchid: Nei jing Su wen Chapter 8

Claude Larre

Elisabeth Rochat de La Vallée

Health, Fitness & Dieting

The foundation stones of Chinese medicine are laid down in Huangdi neijing and its commentaries now spanning nearly two millenia. Translations of key chapters in the Nei jing with their own illuminating commentaries, this series is transcribed from seminars organised by Peter Firebrace in London from 1985 onwares, designed to deepen an understanding and awareness of these primary concepts.

Chinese Medicine From The Classics: The Kidneys

Alternative Medicine

Transcribed and edited from a seminar given in London in 1986 by the authors. It presents a close study of the paired zangfu of the heart master and triple heater. Detailed classical references and the teachers' usual blend of illuminating humor. The complexity and subtlety of these two energetic systems has rarely been explained and elucidated so well.

Heart Master Triple Heater (Chinese Medicine from the Classics)

The Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic, the Neijing, has been a source book for traditional Chinese medicine for two thousand years. The Way of Heaven is a translation of the first two chapters together with a commentary. In Suwen chapter 1 the Yellow Emperor, Huangdi, asks why we no longer retain our vitality into old age. The answer given by his minister, Qi Bo, indicates that mankind no longer lives in harmony with heaven and earth. Following this declaration the seven and eight year natural cycles for women and men are described and discussed. Chapter 2 continues with an explanation of how we should live in tune with the four seasons, and explains behaviour appropriate to the time of the year. It introduces the concept of the five elements as resonances of the energies of the four seasons. Wide-ranging in their aim and scope, these chapters present a particular philosophy of health, emphasising the need to live in harmony with heaven and earth, in tune with natural cycles and stages of life. Following the way of heaven is the key to health and vitality, and losing the way the root of all pathology, both on an individual and planetary level.

The Liver (Chinese Medicine from the Classics)

Jing Shen is the title of the seventh chapter of the Huainanzi, a major Daoist text of the early Chinese Han dynasty. Until recently it has remained relatively unrecognized and only partially translated. Long dismissed as merely a reiteration of earlier writings, its importance as a work in its own right and its role in Chinese intellectual history is only now beginning to be appreciated. Chapter 7, Jing Shen - vital or embodied spirit – examines the origins of life and the integral place of human beings within the cosmos. As a contemporary text to the Huangdi Neijing (Yellow Emperor’s Inner Classic), it is of interest to practitioners of Chinese medicine as well as the more general reader. This is a group translation, made under the aegis of Claude Larre and Elisabeth Rochat de la Vallée.

Jing Shen: A Translation of Huainanzi Chapter 7

Michelle Bromley

Chinese medical knowledge is based on an understanding of the processes of yin yang and the five elements. Chapter five of the Neijing Suwen, the first part of the Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic, lays out these principles. The chapter begins with the laws of yin yang, progresses to the resonances of the five elements within the human body, and culminates with detailed descriptions of medical pathology.

The Rhythm at the Heart of the World: Neijing Suwen Chapter 5

Within Chinese medicine the heart is presented as having a double aspect - two functions, two energetic qualities, two meridians. Elisabeth Rochat de la Vallée explores this double aspect of the heart - the heart/mind that regulates emotions and acts as the dwelling place of the spirits, and the heart as governor of blood and the circulatory system - the system which connects and protects. Beginning with a study of the fire element - in both its 'sovereign' and 'ministerial' aspects, Elisabeth then looks at the relationships between the heart and the blood, the connections with the upper orifices and organs of perception, the emotions, and finally explores the meridian pathways of both heart and pericardium, including a discussion of the main acupuncture points.
