TCM
Classical channel
Fourteen pathways, WHO points, zang–fu and five phases. The classroom map of acupuncture and TCM.
Two maps of the same body: WHO points and Masunaga extensions. Study them together in shiatsu; do not merge them or diagnose from them.
Study reference within traditional Shiatsu/TCM frameworks. Does not diagnose or treat.
Pick one map per session: either the WHO trajectory or the Masunaga extension. Never both in the same notes.
Name what you palpate with that map's vocabulary: a numbered point, or kyo/jitsu and a hara zone.
If you change maps, say it out loud. Meridiania keeps the layers apart on purpose.

Masunaga
Zen Shiatsu: the channel continues beyond the classical pair, is read in the hara and treated as a whole.
Same question, two answers. Use it as a class crib.
The most common table error: treating ST36 and the Masunaga stomach extension as the same landmark.
The WHO Stomach channel runs through ST36, ST25, ST40. Masunaga's “stomach” extension includes stretches, hara zones and palpation that do not map one-to-one. Study ST36 on the classical channel; the hara, in its own guide.
Guides, practice and the Wu Xing frame — each in its own drawer.
