I made a personal comparison between muscular chains and acupunctural meridians. I found a lot of common points. Chinese acupuncturers have been studying the human body for three thousand years and discovered a lot of points along the spine, which are able to cure a lot of diseases. You should know that in chinese acupuncture as in osteopathy, each vertebra corresponds to an organ like heart, liver, lungs, kidneys and so on. So, in that kind of medecine, if you could relax the spine muscles, you could make the body free and cure a lot of functional diseases.
Functional diseases represent ninety per cent of all sicknesses.
So, you can understand why I was interested in this life-bone. I felt it moving in my body . Hara means belly in japanese language and is located five centimeters under and behind the navel. That corresponds exactly to the third lumbar vertebra. I'm European and cartesian too, so I see the same things in occidental anatomy.
