An “Extraordinary” Dimension

The Karate Chop and the Gamut points have always

intrigued me. One interesting fact about the psychologicalreversal point (Si 3), is that in Traditional Chinese Medicineit is the opening point for the most important of the EightExtraordinary Vessels; the Du Mai. The Gamut spot (Tw 3) isnot far from another point (Tw 5), which is the opening pointof the Yang Wei Mai. Extraordinary Vessels run outside thebody and assist with all excess and deficiencies which is thegoal of Traditional Chinese Medicine. They are believed to bethe first thing formed in the uterus by the most respected

teachers of Traditional Chinese and Japanese Acupuncture.In Chinese Medicine these points are supposed to be pairedwith the balancing point on the opposite ankle. In mysessions, I began using two of the four pair in conjunctionwith their opposite vessels which forms a figure eightformation. Upon further investigation, I realized that thesewere considered sacred, miraculous and powerful points.They have been shrouded in so much mystery that whentaught publicly in 1279 by Li-Zhen, he was assassinated the

next day. Had I read all the precautions in the Chinesemedicine literature before I started using these points, Iwould have been afraid to try them. However, armed withonly ignorance and curiosity, using them has seemed tobring about dramatic changes for the better in the lives of my clients. I also often wondered why it has never seemedto be a priority to balance the other side by stimulatingpoints on both sides of the body when balance is the mainfocus of Chinese Medicine.

In a paper published in 1980, The Extraordinary 

  Acupuncture Meridians: Homeostatic Vessels in theAmerican Journal of Acupuncture, Leon I. Hammer M. D.lists the Psychological Functions of the Eight ExtraordinaryVessels; these are the four Points I work with:

Si 3 Mental instability, thoughts entangledBl 62 Sadness, mental fatigue, antisocial, lazy

Tw 5 Violent fearGb 41 Lack of calm, memory, indecision, sour nature

When muscle testing deems it appropriate, I begin byactivating one of the two sets of points in a gender specificorder, depending on the body’s highest priority, with theOHM tuning fork while the client thinks about the issue.(Diagrams and detailed procedures are available uponrequest). I begin a typical EFT comprehensive with the

addition of some of Dr. Larry Nimms phrases and handplacements if severe trauma is observed. Once theemotional intensity is zero or very low, I install the “Be SetFree Fast” program and close with the “Four MinuteReprogramming”. These are similar to “Balanced Breathing” and Psych-K’s “Whole Brain-Posture”.

I also incorporate these points (Si 3 and Bl 62) into myHarmonic Massage protocol with seemingly fabulous results.

A short video of the massage procedure is available onYouTube “harmonicsone”. I call the use of these points the “Cosmic Octave” but discovered that I am not the first toname this procedure. There is a wonderful article in MassageMagazine by Barbara Echer called “Road Maps of Our Lives:Navigating the Eight Extraordinary Vessels. Her explanationof Extraordinary Vessels is superb. Because I incorporatevarious planetary frequencies and pointed Vogel crystals andHerkimer diamonds on the points, I often alternate them as

I go through the procedure.

We all strive to improve existing methods as we incorporatenew concepts into our practice. I believe we are the hope of preventative care as we watch our current healthcare modelfalter. This might be a new dimension in Energy Psychology.
