Fantastic! My past as an archaeologist with a focus on early agriculture and water management practices and my present as an acupuncturist are calling for a book about the landscape topography of the channel system!
Great video, thank you. Your discussion of "water embracing" and the fact that the Xue is located in the earth, where the Shengqi pools as it reaches water, reminded me of some modern anatomical studies that suggested many "acupoints" to correlate with neuro-vascular bundles where the nerves and blood vessels travel closely together. By locating the point as embraced by the water, but not in it, it sounds like a Feng Shui method to find the nerve and get that Deqi feeling without hitting the blood vessels close to it.
Great subject, thank you very much.

That would be wonderful! It is something Ed Neal talks about a lot, by the way.

Also interesting as feng shui can also be seen as qi and xue (blood) in internal circulation (yang/yin) analogy.
Dimmak is also known as Dian Xue Shu - to act or strike acupoints.
