The Du Mai and Ren Mai relationship
“The Ren and Du Mai are two branches from the same source, one in the front of the body, the other in the back. Just as the human body has the Ren and Du Mai, nature has midnight and midday: these two vessels are separate but also joined. When we try to divide these, we see that Yin and Yang are inseparable; when we try to see them as one, we see that it is an indivisible whole. They are one but two, they are two but one.”
Yang, the other Yin, both originating from the same place and both flowing to the Heart. They could really be seen as one channel with a Yang part and a Yin part. Therefore the balancing of points from the Du and Ren Mai is a very important aspect of Yin-Yang and, as the Du Mai is in the back and the Ren Mai in the front, of Back-Front balancing and a very effective treatment in practice. Finally, as these two vessels both flow upwards to the head and the Du Mai flows into the brain, combining their points also has a very powerful and important mental effect which can be either lifting or calming.
Giovanni Maciocia
This relationship is a fundamental part of the foundation of the Extraordinary Meridians is Traditional Chinese Medicine. I chose to not focus on the Ren Mai channel because the focus of this course is developing our palpation skills, and energy sensitivity in bodywork. However, I also acknowledge that it is important to include all aspects of the meridian pair to more fully understand it so I am going to touch on the Ren Mai and its relationship with the Du Mai
The Ren Mai and the Du Mai are like to halves of one channel, one Yin, the other Yang. They both originate from the space between the kidneys, both flow through the uterus, both flow to Ren-1, both connect with the heart. They are therefore an important way in which the Kidneys and Heart communicate with each other in physiology.
