The Governing and
Conception Vessels
The Governing and
Conception Vessels are the main rivers of the body’s Yin and Yang energies.
They are polar aspects of the body, perfectly complementary, like midnight and
midday. They are responsible for the formation of the holoblastic cleavage and
the first cellar division of the fertilized ovum in embryological development.
The Governing and
Conception Vessels each have two energy flows on the anterior and posterior
vertical midline of the body. Each vessel’s pathway is complete, being composed
of an ascending energetic flow and a descending energetic flow. The duality of
these two medial lines, join at the extremities (the head and perineum),
forming one complete circle of energetic current.
Both vessels are
superimposed on each other, with the energy of the Governing Vessel being
predominant up the back and inferior down the front (behind the Conception
Vessel); the energy of the Conception Vessel is predominant up the front and
inferior down the back (behind the Governing Vessel).

The Governor Vessel
starts at the perineum and travels to the coccyx before making its way to the
back of the head. Flowing over the head, it then travels down the front of the
face to stop at the canines in the upper jaw.
