The Yinqiao Meridian starts from the posterior aspect of the navicular bone ( Zhaohai, K 6 ) . Ascending to the upper portion of the medial malleolus , it runs straight upward along the posterior border of the medial aspect of the thigh to the external genitalia . Then it goes upward along the chest to the supraclavicular fossa and runs further upward lateral to the Adam ' s apple in front of Renying ( S 9 ) and then along the zygoma . From there, it reaches the inner canthus ( Jingming, B 1 ) and communicates with the Yangqiao Meridian . The coalescent points of the Yinqiao Meridian are Zhaohai ( K 6 ) , and Jiaoxin ( K 8 ) .
The Yin Heel vessel is connected with two cavities of the kidney channel. Therefore, one of the major sources of Qi for this vessel is the conversion of the kidney essence into Qi. It is believed in Qigong society that the other major Qi source is the essence of the external kidneys (testicles). In Marrow Washing Qigong, one of the training processes is to stimulate the testicles in order to increase the hormone production and increase the conversion of the essence into Qi. At the same time, you would learn how to lead the Qi in this vessel up to the head to nourish the brain and spirit (Shen). With this nourishment, you would be able to reach Buddhahood or enlightenment. From a health and longevity point of view, the raised spirit will be able to efficiently direct the Qi of the entire body and maintain your health.
