Andrew McGonigle & Matthew Huy, “Physiology of Yoga”, 2022.

 

Frank Ros, “The Lost Secrets of Ayurvedic Acupuncture”, 1994 on the Indology tradition was the topic of an earlier blog post.

Here I present: Andrew McGonigle & Matthew Huy, “Physiology of Yoga”, 2022.   

Eidonomy is the study of the external appearance of an organism.  It is the opposite of anatomy, which refers to internal morphology.   Anatomical systems of the body are used to discuss “Physiology of Yoga“, by McGonigle & Huy. 

The “table of contents” of the book is shown BELOW; and, the nine (9) chapters of the book are devoted to the physiology of various anatomical systems.

SUMMARY.

Yoga is associated with the Dharmic religions (Jain & Buddhist).  The “clockwise-rotation” kanji 卐 (“sunlight”) is symbol for the Jain religion; and, reverse symbol of “counter-clockwise” kanji 卍 (“night”) is the antonym in dharmic meaning.   

Enlightenment 卐 is the ultimate of goal Dharmic religions; and, meditation and yoga are pathways to Enlightenment 卐.

Frank Ros, “The Lost Secrets of Ayurvedic Acupuncture”, 1994 on the Indology tradition was the topic of an earlier blog post.  In this post I presented the 14 meridians of Eidonomy shown BELOW. 

The Conception and Govenor vessels are not shown in the ABOVE diagram of 12 meridian vessels.  However, numbered coordinates on the horizontal axis are Roman numerals from I (one) to XIII (thirteen); and, vertical axis are Latin letters from upper-case (ABC) to lower-case (xyz) are acupoints.

Eidonomy is just 0-360 acupoints in the Chinese tradition.  The Himalaya cultures of India and China are at times two-sides of the same coin in the Traditional Medicines of acupuncture and yoga.  Religion and Medicine are also at times two-sides of the same coin.
