MAGNETIC ACUPUNCTURE And Spot (Dot) Magnets.
by Peter Rose FSI

Times Energy Predominates In Specific Classical Meridians 

In the books "A Practical Guide to Magnet Therapy" and "Magnetic Healing" and in the short pieces done for newsletters, there are many references to the use of spot magnets as slow release acupuncture.
One aspect of acupuncture that causes the most confusion is the choice of which points to use.
One very simple system for making that choice is the "ouch" test. Press the points with a match stick and where the patient goes "ouch" stick your magnet. This sounds so easy that it must be a joke, but I have seen it work many times.
For those who wish for a more scientific approach there is a need for a considerable amount of knowledge. One aspect of this  will be the complete understanding of the energy pathways flowing through the body. Although the usual charts do not show the :meridians" as joining each other, in fact they do connect and the energy flows in a continuous closed loop.  This "loop" is made up of the classical meridians and the connecting parts (those parts not shown on the usual charts).  Energy exists in all parts of this loop at all times. When we talk of a flow of energy we are referring to relative levels of energy or put another way to variation in the level of energy. 
Following the "wave" of energy variation gives a flow.
These flows and the consequent level of energy  are similar to the flows and variation of the earth energy, in that the seasons and times of day do  have an influence on the level of energy in a specific part of the loop at a specific time of year and time of day.

EXTRA MERIDIANS
There are several "accepted" extra meridians;   the  two  predominant ones of these are the  Governing vessel which runs up the centre line of the back  and the  Conception vessel which runs up the centre line of the front-- these two form their own "loop"

As well as times per day for predominance, the meridians have seasons of predominance Starting 21st Feb  for 73 days the Liver and Gall bladder meridians are predominant starting 5th May for 73 days the Heart and Small Intestine meridians predominate starting 17th July for 73 days the Spleen and Stomach meridians predominate starting  28th September for 73 days the Lung and Large Intestine meridians predominate starting 10th December for 73 days the Kidney and Bladder meridians predominate.
