    What Are Meridians?

    Like a network of rivers nourishing a landscape, the meridians are the channels through which qi flows, to nourish and energize the human body. These channels exist within the subtle body – you won’t find them on the operating table! Collectively, they form the matrix within which the physical body functions. They also act as a network of communication between the physical and the more subtle energetic bodies.

     

    12 energetic organ meridians

    There are a number of ways in which the Primary Meridians can be classified. One method is to classify them into two groups, according to their polarity of Yin and Yang. The Chinese determined that some of the Meridians are predominantly of Yin energy, and some are predominantly of Yang energy.

    Yin Channels (Organ) Yang Channels (Organ)
    Lung (LU) Large Intestine (LI)
    Spleen (SP) Stomach (ST)
    Heart (HT) Small Intestine (SI)
    Kidneys (KI) Bladder (BL)
    Pericardium (PC) San Jiao (SJ)
    Liver (LV) Gall Bladder (GB)

     

    The Horary Cycle is an excellent diagnostic tool and will be dealt with on the diagnostic level in this f7h course.

    The flow of energy begins with the Meridian of the Lungs and completes its cycle with the Liver, to commence again at the Lungs, continuing the daily cycle throughout an individual’s life span. The reason that the Chinese say that the flow begins with the Lungs, is that they consider the first independent function of a child at birth to be its first breath.
