6/6 · Satisfaction厥陰

Jue Yin (厥陰) closes the cycle: the impulse rests because there was a real exchange. It makes separation possible again. In Shang Han Lun the same name is the deepest syndrome; here it is satisfaction that fertilises the next gap.
LessonGather the fruit and be able to go on.
Satisfaction is the moment the impulse rests because there was a real exchange: the response arrived at the centre, not at an armour. The Liver studies the smoothness of that close, a view forward that is no longer dragged by the unfinished, and a store of contentment for crossing the next gap. The Heart Protector, the Pericardium, spreads the impact and keeps the link with the Heart. In the body, this division is studied as a gathering toward the axis. The character 厥 suggests something that persists through difficulty: not rigidity, but remaining oneself when the cycle tightens.
If the cycle breaks · EgotismLooking for nourishment in a commentary on what was lived, instead of in the meeting already finished. Or leaping to the next act without harvesting.
Study questionCan this rest now, or is the next gesture born so as not to feel that the last one was left unfinished?
