Abstract
This article follows the flow of the ying qi cycle to examine its relationship to the extraordinary vessels in acupuncture theory and practice. This cycle reveals an underlying coherency of the extraordinary vessels and their relationship to the cycle of the evolution of consciousness, starting from the Source, breaking into yin and yang and from here creating the rest of manifestation. In flowing through the primary channels and opening the extraordinary vessels in this order, the ying qi cycle allows one the opportunity to deepen their connection to the Source and achieve greater integration within self and with everything else manifest at the level of humanity.
