Dear Patient, All of the acupuncture meridians run longitudinally up and down the body, except for one very special meridian: the Dai Mai (pronounced “die my”). The name Dai Mai means Belt Vessel, or Girdling Vessel, because it encircles the waist. I picture it cinching up all the other meridians, containing the qi as it courses up and down through the torso.
