The master point of the Chong is Spleen 4, which is combined with Pericardium 6 on the yin wei mai channel. This
pair affects the heart, chest and stomach. This "vital passage" regulates the flow of qi and blood in the 12 regular
meridians, and is significant in gynecological disorders, digestive issues, prolapses, and problems with the heart.
Energetically, it relates to intergenerational patterns, issues arising from abuse, and cellular memory.
Psychospiritually, an imbalance in the Chong meridian negatively impacts our self-acceptance and self-love.

The acupuncture treatment of Rebellious Qi of the Chong Mai is illustrated in the two Figures
below.

As for what I call the “primary” Rebellious Qi deriving from emotional stress, this is due to:

Anger
Worry
Fear
Shock
Guilt
