Qi Channel Theory For Adjusting To Weather

[Uroboros]

I was reading a book on Chinese Medicine and in the section on the Channels, it had a very interesting idea..

 

It said that because the Yang Channels descend from the upper body and the Yin Channels ascend from the lower body, when it is cold outside, you should keep the lower body insulated and the upper body more open to the world.

 

That way, the Yang energy from the Sun and the world will be taken in and will descend through the body. The Yin will rise, and the outside cold will not damage it.

 

I know that when my legs are warm in cold weather, I often enjoy having light clothing on my upper body.

 

Understanding Nature and then how our own system follows the way of Nature....

 

ideas like this are so simple, yet so profound if they work.

 

What do you all think about this idea?
