Picture a road map: a profusion of points woven into a web by lines of travel. Now imagine this system 3-D in your body: a vast network of invisible energy pathways connecting to each other and to every atom, cell, tendon, bone, organ, each centimeter of skin--everything in your body! They link the upper portion with the lower and the surface with the interior, so that nothing is truly separate. Now add other dimensions to this 3-D interconnected body “map”: your mind, your emotions, and spirit--everything conscious and unconscious within you. These amazing pathways are the meridians, and they form your body and all invisible aspects of your being into an intercommunicating whole.
4. Free Flow of Qi
According to TCM, as long as Qi flows freely through your meridians and your organs
work in harmony, your body can remain healthy. This means that when your body's
meridian system functions well, you are well. Yet due to a number of causes--like
excess stress--your body's meridians can become clogged or even blocked. This
affects the function of the corresponding organ and ultimately the whole
body-mind-spirit.
5. Receiving and Relaying Healing
Stimulation
Meridians are incredibly sensitive. They
can carry the effects of stimulation in the form of healing energy throughout
your entire being. It is this special quality that allows the various TCM
treatment modalities to work. By using food, herbs, Qigong,
acupuncture, or acupressure, the flow of energy in the meridians can be stimulated,
restoring balance and health.
