Pc-6

This Luo ascends the arm from Pc-6, crosses the chest to the midline and then descends through all three jiaos. The Pericardium, as the Heart protector, is responsible for the mediation of thoughts, feelings and actions that are meant to preserve the sovereignty of the Emperor. It is about the capacity for self-preservation and the development of a coping style that helps us to negotiate challenging social interaction. When it is functioning well, we have an appropriate response to criticism. We can maintain intellectual control over our emotions and through this we can develop self-esteem. We don’t take criticism personally. When we are being criticized, the Pericardium gives us the capacity to find the useful feedback in the criticism and let the rest go, knowing it has nothing to do with us. The Pericardium creates a language for processing our emotions and it helps us to maintain our sanity through rationalization. It helps us to redirect our emotions for self-preservation. If we are hurt or disappointed by an interaction, then the Pericardium will help us to rationalize the experience so that we can let it go. Latency is created when we can no longer rationalize the hurt. The stagnation that occurs in the creation of latency constricts the Pericardium loop, causing chest pain or restriction of breathing. The ability to process the emotions that are triggered by interaction with others is impaired. When we cannot process our emotional experiences, we may become disconnected from our emotions. It is not uncommon to then look outside ourselves at the emotional experiences of others. This may make us feel overprotective or overly concerned with the emotional status of the people around us, even though we cannot control or alter their experience. In a sense, this is a distraction that helps us to avoid the suffering we feel at being disconnected from our own emotions. The cost of this latency is a defensiveness that leads to despair. When we cannot rationalize the emotional experience of ourselves or others, we may feel attacked, as if the whole world is against us.
