4 Transporters of the 8 Extras: Managing Resources Through Adversity

Course overview

The Wei and Qiao Mai are the 4 Transporters of the 8 Extraordinary Vessels 8EV. They are the vehicles of circulation that distribute the vital substances that are held in the 4 Seas Chong, Du, Ren and Dai Mai. These vessels take what we are given as our birth right in the form of our constitution and they allocate those prenatal resources as we need them. They are the vessels that fuel life's journey. As the circumstances of our lives change our need for specific resources also changes. The Transporters help us to adapt. They recognize the changing needs and try to maintain continuity while the world around us changes. As we face adversity, we are asked to adapt over and over again. The 4 Transporters also adapt and we begin to develop a character style that determines how we will face life's challenges like aging or conflict in relationships. When our Transporters are healthy, we can process life's challenges with more ease and grace. We can use our resources wisely and we can move from surviving to thriving more efficiently. When they are unhealthy, we become stuck in a state of being that is less fulfilling and less balanced. Healthy circulation transportation is an essential ingredient in healthy living.
