The
Pericardium
The "Spiritual
Axis" in chapter 71 says "The Heart is the Ruler of
the 5 Yin Organs and 6 Yang organs, it is the residence of the Mind
and it is so tough that no pathogenic factor can take hold in it.
If the Heart is attacked by a pathogenic factor, the Mind suffers,
which can lead to death. If a pathogenic factor does attack the
Heart it will be deviated to attack the Pericardium instead. For
this reason, the Heart channel has no Stream Transporting Point".
The "Simple
Questions" in chapter 8 says "The Pericardium is the
ambassador and from it joy and happiness derive".
