CV-1 - Meeting of Yin
会阴 - Huì yīn
Point Region: Genital area
CV-1 Huiyin, meaning 'Meeting of Yin,' represents one of the most profound confluences in the human energy system—the point where all Yin energies gather like tributaries flowing into a great river. Located at the perineum, this point sits at the energetic foundation of our being, serving as the root from which all upward-flowing vitality springs.
As the starting point of the Conception Vessel, which governs our capacity for creativity, reproduction, and spiritual rebirth, Huiyin holds the keys to our deepest regenerative powers. This point is like the earth itself—receptive, nourishing, and capable of birthing new life from the darkness of potential into the light of manifestation.
In traditional understanding, CV-1 serves as a gateway between the earthly and heavenly realms within our own body, anchoring us to the ground while preparing us for spiritual ascension. It's particularly valuable for those seeking to strengthen their foundational energy, whether recovering from illness, preparing for major life transitions, or simply wanting to feel more deeply rooted in their own power.
