 * top of the mound to see all**. This raises the supreme controller from the depths.

In the Dao De Jing, there are numerous references to the power of the female principle which is receptive, tranquil, and resilient. By maintaining an open and receptive mid, we remain centered in the present moment, in a position to draw upon the unlimited bounty of the universe. This allows ourselves to be guided and supported**. Yin within fire is a subtle force; without struggling it maintains its natural position and arrives at its ultimate destination**. A deficiency of Yin leaves Yang without a foundation. Here is a place where Yin accumulates, a place where we can draw upon Yin for balance and support. **Any time the heart has suffered a shock**, treatment of this point should be considered. Emotional disturbances; nervous palpitations; attacks of weakness, vertigo and fainting; anxiety, restlessness; subjective feelings of heat; itching. Nervous crises, hysteria; fits of energy, fright, grief. When a person has been traumatized the **heart can be shocked in such a way that the “spirit leaves the body”. This dissociation is a means of protection, a way to prevent the complete disintegration of the psyche**. Afterwards work needs to be done to re-integrate, otherwise a person can habitually dissociate from their body whenever they experience powerful, or challenging emotional conditions. Symptoms which may indicate there may be something like this occurring are: stressful conditions trigger extreme emotional responses, post-traumatic flashbacks, terror, hyper-vigilance, easily startled, insomnia w/ disturbing dreams, sensations of coldness in the body.
