Abstract: This paper introduces the clinical experience of Professor YUAN Qing in treating insomnia with spirit- regulating acupuncture method under the guidance of thought of “Heaven, Human and Earth”. Professor YUAN Qing believes that the treatment of insomnia should combine the thought of “Heaven,Human and Earth”with the thought of treating and regulating the spirit. While regulating yin and yang in the body, the regulation of the mind should be highlighted to coordinate the yin and yang and harmonize the body and spirit. There are five methods; one is to select the points according to the formulas, and the commonly used point groups for regulating the original spirit include the four- shen points,mental tri- needles and brain tri- points,and the commonly used point group for regulating heart spirit is hand mental triple needles. The second method is about different acupuncture techniques,which include supplementing, draining and guiding. Third, acupuncture is used to regulate the spirit, moxibustion is used to warm and unblock,and moxibustion is given according to the theory of“Heaven, Human and Earth”. The fourth is to administer treatment during the most optimal time,place and person. Fifth, the regulation and containment after treatment should nourish both the body and spirit, so as to benefit from the favourable timing,geographical and human conditions.
