What are Tibetan Figure 8's?

John Thie:, DC: "Of the many subsidiary energy flows to the primary meridians, Tibetan
medicine mentions one which circles in a Figure 8 pattern along the body's front and back, as
well as in smaller patterns around the body.  Sometimes, balancing using the following exercise
(Tibetan Figure 8's) results in immediate positive change in healing time, joint mobility and
pain."

Donna Eden: "The body's energies spin, spiral, curve, twist, crisscross and weave
themselves into patterns of magnificent beauty.  I call these energies the Celtic Weave
pattern.  In the East, it has been called the "Tibetan Energy Ring...A special type of figure
eight pattern that sits within the Celtic Weave is distinguished by pronounced movement with
greater luminescence...I believe this is the energy referred to as the Energy
Rings, spoken of
in ancient healing traditions emerging from Tibet."

Bruce A J Dewe, MD: "Figure 8 Energy Flow:  These energies are described in the book
Touch for Health, by Dr. John F. Thie DC, as subsidiary energy pathways.  Our experience
has shown them to be extremely powerful energy corrections which can be sued to balance the
energy of other systems in the body.  They appear to have a high priority in the healing
continuum."
