Yuan-Source
Educational guide to yuan-source points: what they are, which channel they belong to, and how to study them in shiatsu and TCM. Full list with sheets and 3D atlas.
Yuan-source points are studied as access to the original qi of the channel and associated organ. In shiatsu and educational TCM they often help assess and work the channel root, frequently paired with the luo of the yin–yang couple. In Meridiania each yuan has a sheet, meridian and 3D atlas position.
