At the very root of the torso, at the center of the pelvic floor, between the genitals and the front of the anus, lies Hui Yin, the first point on the Ren Mai (aka Conception Vessel). The English translation of Hui Yin is “Meeting Of Yin” or “Convergence Of Yin.” The point is also occasionally rendered as “Seabed.”
Simply in virtue of its location (as the lowest point), Hui Yin is considered the most “yin” point of the human torso. Metaphorically, it’s like the floor of the ocean. It’s also the meeting-place of three important extraordinary vessels: the Ren (aka Conception), Du (aka Governing) and Chong (aka Thrusting) Mai.
Hui Yin coordination is essential to the cultivation of Nei (new) Qi.
