Acupuncture Archetypes

[All processes in the outside world are reflections of the processes in our inner world.
Specifically, processes related to human relationships are found within the acupuncture and
chakra systems. The spine is the axis of our individual universe, and all aspects of the
changes we experience are found throughout the body.]

Acupresence

AcuPresence® is a contemplative healing practice that serves as a doorway to transforming

your DNA and supporting your path of awakening. It empowers you to practice the alchemy
of using acupuncture in conjunction with the esoteric sciences of the I Ching, Gene Keys,
and Human Design. It teaches which acupuncture points are related to an individual’s DNA
as determined by their birth data.

I Ching AcuPresence is an invitation to awaken and align with your divine blueprint. It goes
beyond the mind and directly to the innate intelligence of the body’s energy system, inviting
you to come back into resonance with your pure original nature.

The ancient oracle of the I Ching charts the seasons, the five elements, and the cycles of
life; it maps out this information in hexagrams. The binary mathematical code of the makeup
of these hexagrams is essentially identical to the genetic code of life reflected in the DNA
mapped into our body at the moment of birth. This hexagram map of the five elements
encoded within our body is easily accessible via the energy meridian system and specific
acupuncture points which are directly related to each of the 64 I Ching Hexagrams.

There are six acupuncture points that are directly linked to each hexagram. These six
associated acupoints address your well being on all levels, from strengthening your
connection to spirit, harmonizing your physiology and connecting to the higher frequencies
of your DNA. You can learn more about these point categories below.

Golden Path
The Golden Path Profile outlines a journey of awakening based on your moment of birth. You
can explore the genetic code of your DNA, and contemplate each I Ching hexagram in your
unique makeup by embracing its shadow, releasing its gift, and embodying its siddhis
highest potential.

[ Tamas - Rajas - Satva

Shadow - Gift - Siddhi
Darkness - Passion - Virtue ]

The Golden Path uses a combination of I-Ching lines and Gene Keys to create a
‘Hologenetic Profile.’ This profile leads you through consecutive insights about your life
purpose, relationships, and prosperity.

I Ching AcuPresence offers the specific sets of points and protocols unique to your profile, to
support your Golden Path journey.
Human Design
Another way to utilize the transformative tool of I Ching AcuPresence is in conjunction with
the Human Design System developed by Ra Uru Hu. Called the Science of Differentiation, it
shows each of us our own authentic unique design and how to live in correct alignment with
it. Human Design is a synthesis of several ancient systems, integrating aspects of the I
Ching, Astrology, Chakras, and the Kabbalah. It represents a map of human consciousness
that links these old wisdom traditions to contemporary thought, particularly to our modern
understanding of genetics.

A design chart (BodyGraph) is drawn up from your birth data, providing you with a genetic
map, a blueprint for your life journey. I Ching AcuPresence points that correspond to the
hexagrams in your BodyGraph can be chosen to support you in living your design.

Nakshatras =

According to Vedic Astrology, Nakshatra refers to the stars/constellations. The 360⁰ zodiac
system is divided into 12 zodiac signs. There is a total of 27 Nakshatras in astrology, and
hence the value of each star is 13⁰ 20’. In ancient times, Nakshatras are considered as a
means of worshipping the divine. These 27 constellations are based on the movement of the
Moon, which travels approximately 27.3 days around its orbit. Hence, the birth star of an
individual is calculated based on the position of the Moon in any of these stars.

The 27 Nakshatras are spread across the 12 zodiac signs in three cusps at Aries, Leo, and
Sagittarius. Some Nakshatras lie entirely within a sign, whereas certain stars overlap in two
zodiac signs. Each Nakshatra has its own ruling deity and powers, which play a major role in
deciding the characteristics of an individual. Everyone born on this earth has their birth star,
which depends on the placement of Moon in one of the 27 stars. Each Nakshatra is further
divided into 4 Padas (quarters) at 3⁰ 20’ each, which represent the quality of each star.

[The sun, moon and earth play an instrumental role in the creation of the human being. They
govern all facets of the human personality. The solar and lunar zodiac govern our
appearance and personality, and the gene keys describe our shadows and potentials.]

detail]

The Nakshatras’ Relationship to the Sushumna Chakras

There are twenty-eight points along the Governor Vessel (the Dumai meridian, same as the
sushumna nadi) in the acupuncture system of traditional Chinese medicine. These points
correspond to the lunar constellations in the Chinese system. Furthermore, in Taoist neidan
(inner alchemy) according to Grandmaster Mantak Chia, these points map out how one
refines/processes/transmutes life force energy in meditation from gross to subtler forms. I
have experienced these refinements myself so I can attest to this.

I am sure it is no coincidence that “nakshatra” sounds similar to “chakra” and “kshetra”. The
lunar constellations and stars of the twenty-eight nakshatras come together in a cohesive
story (or inner orbit) of minor chakras and nadis dealing with the refinement of the
soma/amrita of the Moon/psyche as the soul (jiva) explores the greater possibility of
enlightened rapture (ananda). These twenty-eight nakshatras are linked to centers within the
brain and cerebrospinal stem through subtle energy channels (nadis/meridians). The Moon
represents the mind that rules the astral and causal bodies interpenetrating this gross field of
nerve plexuses and vortex points.

I believe that understanding this alignment of the nakshatras with the sushumna is central to
decoding their meaning, and that this represents a lost body of knowledge that is only now
coming to light. It must have been part of the older nakshatra system mentioned in the
Vedas because in this template Abhijit is included and it begins with Krittika.

Here are some of the more obvious correspondences I have uncovered so far:

Abhijit, the nakshatra Krishna identifies with corresponds to the Brahmarandhra Chakra
(GV20), a point at the top of the head, connected to the top of the sushumna nadi, where
100 yang (solar) channels converge. These are the “100 physicians” of Satabhisha.

Purva Ashada is the minor Bindu Chakra at the back of the head where the hair swirls
(GV18) and is the posterior position of the Soma chakra. When the yogi is able to bring their
sexual energy out of their semen bringing it up to this point, it transmutes into ojas, releasing
an intoxicating feeling in the brain.

Purva Bhadrapada is a point (GV24) that is linked to the Manas Chakra in the sushumna, a
chakra associated with the naga because it is all about the chitta – all the mental storage in
the soul based on sense-impressions and samskaras (attachments).

Jyestha is a point (GV16) corresponding to the posterior of the medulla or Talu chakra, while
Bharani (GV28) corresponds to the anterior. As Paramahansa Yogananda states, the
(unenlightened) soul enters and exits through the medulla when taking a new birth. Jyestha
is located close to the “earring” area and the stem resembles the pole holding up the
“umbrella” of the brain. Bharani is associated with the portal between earthly life in Bhur and
the afterlife (for the unenlightened soul) in Bhuva.

Krittika (GV1) is located at the coccyx, which has a kind of “spear” or “knife” shape. Located
at the beginning of the sushumna at the posterior end of the root chakra, when Kundalini
begins to move heat is felt here – hence Krittika’s deity is Agni. Its shakti is the power to burn
desires, a theme that is taken up in the mythology sequence related to the next three
nakshatras.

Rohini (GV2), Mrigasira (GV3) and Ardra (GV4) are located at the posterior of the sexual
and navel chakras. The mythologies associated with their respective deities tell a cohesive
story about Brahma lusting after Rohini who is shot down by Rudra’s arrow of restraint. In
the context of the refinement of pranic energies in the sushumna, this can be read as an
allegory about a yogic practice of bringing the sexual energy into the navel chakra where it is
changed back into vitality so that it rejuvenates and strengthens the physical body, giving
radiance and health through this center.

This is just a sample of the many things I have discovered. There is more to share and
explore but I am now in the process of mapping out the meanings of all these points and am
inviting you to contribute to my research. These meanings will be posted on my blog “Chakra
Nakshatras” with ongoing updates and more details: chakranakshatras.blogspot.com

You can post comments there or contact me on the site.

I plan to eventually include the Chinese and Mayan astrological meridian systems as well
because they also align on this acupuncture map. I am sure an original template must have
existed that was known to these three cultures, probably around the start of Kali Yuga. This
knowledge goes beyond the Vedic Astrology system, beyond any philosophical or cultural
inheritance. My interest is in deciphering the core knowledge that these ancient systems
understood and that anyone can access through right meditation and awakened Kundalini.
