Basic energy points and Chi-Gong

Basic energy points are special points used to raise energy, described earlier:

The points are on channels corresponding to Du-Mai and Zheng-Mai meridians in classic acupuncture. 

They are very important prior to general treatement in case of serious lack  of energy, because if there's not enough free energy to direct by main acupuncture, any treatment is waste of time. 

They are also used during treatment to energize and harmonize, and as great prophylactic tool.

Observations on how these points work led to conclusion they work similar to the well-known Chi-Gong exercise "Lesser Heaven's Circle" when energy is accumulated via circulation of Qi theough Du-Mai and Zheng-Mai channels. 

This technique is a base for most Chi-Gong traditions, and regarded in one of them as a "door which 

opens to draw one away from death".
