Meridians are energy pathways for chi, the vital energy. Chi is both an inanimate force and conscious intelligence or information. What follows is directly from Cyndi Dale’s book, The Subtle Body Encyclopedia, as she says it so completely:

There are twelve major meridians, which are also called the major trunks. These twelve meridians form a network of energy channels throughout the body for the distribution of chi, thereby controlling all bodily functions and connecting all parts of the body to each other. Each of these pathways is linked to a specific organ or organ system, therefore revealing the body as a circle of interdependent parts, not a collection of separate pieces. The chi passes through the body in a regular, twenty-four-hour pattern; therefore, these twelve major meridians participate in every facet of life’s daily metabolic and physiological processes.

The twelve standard meridians run on the surface of the body, either on the chest, back, arms, or legs. They are: Lung, Large Intestine, Stomach, Spleen, Heart (sometimes called the Pericardium or Heart Protector), Small Intestine, Urinary Bladder, Kidney, Pericardium, Triple Warmer (sometimes called the Triple Heater or Three Heater), Gallbladder, and Liver. These terms refer to biological functions and not structural organs; however, all but the Triple Warmer and Heart meridians are connected to a specific organ system. The Triple Warmer is thought to govern the chi level of the entire body, as it controls the distribution of all types of chi. The Heart meridian works with the Triple Warmer to control the body’s overall energy level, but is also vital to the functioning of the heart.

In addition to the major meridians there are eight extraordinary channels, also called vessels. They are: the Du, the Ren, the Dai, the Chong, the Yin Chiao, the Yang Chiao, the Yin Wei, and the Yang Wei meridians.

The eight vessels are first formed in utero and represent a deep level of energetic structure. They store and drain chi, also serving as reservoirs that ferry chi and blood along the twelve regular channels. These secondary meridians are not associated with specific organs or meridians; rather, they connect the main meridians, serving as the means through which the main meridians connect with the organs and other parts of the body. The most important of these extra meridians are the Governor vessel, which runs along the middle of the back, and the Conception vessel, which courses along the front of the body. Some modern practitioners consider these two vessels as equal to the main twelve, and so count fourteen main meridians.

 In all, there are three meridian groups associated with the regular meridians, each with twelve meridians. The divergent meridians rise from one of the twelve main meridians and pass through the thorax or abdomen to connect with an organ before surfacing at the neck or head. The muscle network meridians allocate chi from the twelve major meridians to the muscles, tendons, and joints. This distribution is considered superficial because these meridians do not contact any organs. The cutaneous network meridians run alongside the regular meridians in the cutaneous skin layer; these, too, are considered superficial. Some systems present these as part of the sensory nervous system.

Along the twelve major meridians are more than 400 acupuncture points, as classified by the World Health Organization. (Some systems enumerate between 500 and 2,000 points.) These are labeled according to name, number, and their corresponding meridian. 8 Every meridian contains 25 to 150 acupuncture points (acupoints) particular to it, and terminates at the end of a finger or toe. Each meridian has specific points that most accurately describe its current condition. There is an “alarm point” in the frontal midline of the torso that reacts whenever chi is imbalanced in a specific meridian. This alarm point has a corresponding “associated point” along the spine that echoes the problems in that meridian. These points are shown on the meridian illustrations.

Each organ system carries its own brand of chi, which allows it to perform certain unique physical as well as energetic functions. Western medicine specializes in analyzing the physical functions of an organ, such as the production of enzymes by the liver. Eastern medicine adds an understanding of the energetic functions of an organ and the system of that organ— the particular and holistic roles it plays within the complete self.

Chi is perhaps best visualized as a continuum of energy rather than something that can be defined microscopically. It is at once inanimate and animate. It is free flowing and unconscious as well as delineated and conscious. It is also made up of two opposite sets of information: female and male, or yin and yang.

Yin is the earth energy that signifies the feminine qualities on this planet and is cool in nature. Yang is the heavenly energy that represents the masculine side and is hot in nature. Chi is a combination of these two divergent spectrums of energy, as well as many other specific expressions of nature. It is also described in terms of the five elements: fundamental, living forces of energy that are constantly in motion. These elements are the foundation of the five-phase theory of diagnosis and treatment, which is outlined later in this section. Each of these elements corresponds to one of the five major organ systems, which in turn can be classified by its relationship to a season of the year, a time of the day, a color, a sound, a smell, an emotion, a food … and so much more. Together, the yin-yang theory and the five-element theory reflect a universal law; everything relates in a complex set of interdependent relationships that underlies the physical level of reality.

The yin-yang theory is crucial to understanding the meridians. Everything within the body— and the meridian system— is dualistic. Each meridian, for example, consists of two parts. The outer part operates at the surface of the skin to collect energy. This is considered a yang function. The inner part serves the internal organs by transporting energy to an organ or body system site. This is a yin process.

The major meridians are subdivided into yin and yang groups. The yin meridians of the arm are Lung, Heart, and Pericardium. The yang meridians of the arm are Large Intestine, Small Intestine, and Triple Warmer. The yin meridians of the leg are Spleen, Kidney, and Liver. The yang meridians of the leg are Stomach, Bladder, and Gallbladder. Yang energy governs the Governor vessel and yin the Conception vessel.

Meridians are also classified as excitatory (yang) or inhibitory (yin) according to the polarity of the chi they manage. The organs connected to yin meridians are also considered yin, or inhibitory, and the organs connected to yang meridians are considered yang, or excitatory. Because the yin and yang aspects of a meridian interconnect, you can treat a yang-related condition in an organ and produce an effect in the yin side of the meridian. All meridians are paired, or have a polar opposite (see “The Cycles of Chi: The Body Clock”). Polar meridians are twelve hours apart in the twenty-four-hour cycle. These paired meridians are similar in some ways, but contrast in others. For example, the Spleen and Triple Warmer are polar meridians. Both affect the immune system and are radiant circuits, yet they can also negatively react to each other. If the Triple Warmer is too excited, the Spleen meridian is inhibited, and vice versa. The Triple Warmer is at its energetic peak between 9 p.m. and 11 p.m.; the Spleen meridian is at its peak between 9 a.m. and 11 a.m

Dale puts forth a host of existing theories about the actual functions of the meridians, including Biomechanical Theory, Connective Tissue Theory, and the Ductal Teory. It is worth picking up this complete and supremely I informative book to explore more about your body’s subtle energetic system. You can locate the major elements of the meridian system to assist you in conscious care, a critical preventive medicine element of these rising and expanding times.

Through the application of acupressure, acupuncture, tending the meridians, chi-gung, tai chi, etc. one can maintain the health of that meridian system. Learning about the organ 24 hour cycle from Chinese Medicine is a powerful addition to your awareness reservoir. All of this leads to focused conscious living that greatly expands how life shows up for you and hopw it can be lived in the higher vibrations.

Nadis

These are additional energy channels closely associated with the chakras and the kundalini process. They operate like channels or a delivery system for the chakras to help clear and manage the pohysical system and to play a vital role in the rising of kundalini. They conduct prana throughout the body and convert it to different types of energy for organs, glands and tissues. There are three key nadis: Sushumna, or main nadi; the Ida, on the left side of the body; and the Pingala, on the right side. Major chakras are fed by the Sushumna, which runs inside the vertebral column from the base of the spine to the center of the brain.

SUSHUMNA NADI

Flow: This is the central nadi that passes through the spinal column. The flow starts in the base, or Muladhara, chakra and stops in the Sahasrara chakra at the crown, where it splits into two streams. The anterior passes through the Ajna, or brow chakra, before reaching the Brahma Randhra, the seat of supreme consciousness that lies between the two hemispheres of the brain and the Sahasrara chakra. The posterior travels behind the skull before reaching the Brahma Randhra. The Sushumna is made of three yoga nadis, which are arranged in layers.

These are: • Outer layer: The Sushumna. Difficult to perceive, this brilliant red layer is considered to exist outside of time. • Middle layer: The Vajrini, or Vajra nadi. Shimmering in nature, this nadi exhibits two contrary natures: the sun and toxicity. • Inner layer: The Chitrini, or Chitra nadi, pale and illuminated in coloring. Reflects the nature of the moon and goodness from the heavens. Connected to dreams and visions and important to poets and painters. This nadi ends in the Brahma Dvara, the door of Brahma, the Creator. It is here that the kundalini travels to its final resting place within the Soma chakra.

Centered within the Sushumna (or the three nadis composing it) is the Brahma nadi, a stream of purity. This nadi connects to the Brahma Randhra.

Roles: The Sushumna serves as the main distributor of prana to the subtle energy organs and the chakras. It is usually inactive when other nadis are active and operational when they are quiet. It also works with the flow of the Ida and the Pingala to regulate breath (prana) and activate the rising of the kundalini.

IDA NADI

Flow: Starts below the Muladhara chakra, but is also associated with the left testicle in men. Ends in the left nostril. It is also stimulated through this nostril. Some schools of thought reverse this flow, in terms of origination and termination, especially during the first stage of kundalini activation. Some esoteric systems associate this nadi with the sympathetic nervous system, as it is on the left side of the spine. Yet others consider it a mental rather than a nerve channel.

Roles: Part of the left channel of the nadi system. Relays pranic and mental energy. Associated with the moon. Is considered a feminine symbol that exhibits correlated functions, such as conserving energy, increasing serenity, calming the mind, and accentuating maternal urgings. Magnetic in nature. Restores energy to the brain. Through its lunar associations, relates to the psyche or soul. Some yoga systems (such as that of Svara yoga) recommend keeping the Ida (and the left nostril) open during the day, so as to balance the sun’s energy. It is dominant from the new moon to the full moon.

PINGALA NADI

Flow: Starts below the Muladhara chakra and ends in the right nostril. It is also activated through this nostril. Some schools of thought reverse this flow.

Roles: Part of the right channel of the nadi system. Conveys pranic and mental energy, primarily those considered solar. Associated with the sun, a masculine symbol, it provides energy for physical movement and activities. Also associated with vitality and power, it is electrical in nature and enables mental quickness and supports constructive actions. Some yoga systems recommend breathing through the right nostril at night to add balance to the lunar energy of night. It is dominant from the full moon to the new moon. True enlightenment is also contingent upon the appropriate merging of the male and female energies. The Ida nadi is primarily feminine and the Pingala nadi is considered masculine. They are each represented by a specific color, heavenly body, and river to indicate their properties. The Sushumna is a combination of male and female and yet more than either. It is therefore considered to be a pure, diamond-like energy, functioning with its own fire.

This expanded look at the energy anatomy can be complex. I support you in taking in what speaks to you. The bottom line is to start seeing and knowing that the body is so much more than it appears to be. The design is truly Celestial in its complexity and is interrelationship with itself and the Cosmos as well. The energetic layers are almost midboggling in design and action. Suffice it to say that when one turns the entire system design through awareness, understanding, and choice action, the possibilities for the multi dimensional life are infinite. At the very least move in that direction by learning and applying a little bit each day

What follows is a look at each of the major meridians from Dale’s other book, The Subtle Body Practice Manual, another must have tome…

Each of the major meridians governs certain functions of the body. Disharmony, or the disruption of the flow of energy through a particular meridian, results in particular symptoms.

Lung meridian. The Lung meridian regulates chi throughout the body, as well as regulating breathing and many water channels, such as the Kidney and Bladder meridians, which control the distribution of fluids in the body. Symptoms of disharmony include distension of or a full sensation in the chest, asthma, allergies, coughing, panting, belching, restlessness, cold limbs and hot palms, shortness of breath, skin issues, and overall fatigue. Large Intestine meridian. The Large Intestine meridian rules elimination and communicates with the lungs to regulate the transportation functions of the body. For instance, it carries waste out of the body and absorbs water before the waste leaves. Problems with this meridian often underlie diseases that affect the head, face, and throat. Disharmony is indicated by toothaches; runny noses and nosebleeds; swelling of the neck; yellow eyes; dry mouth and excessive thirst; a sore throat; pain in the shoulders, arms, and index fingers; as well as intestinal cramping, diarrhea, constipation, and dysentery.

Stomach meridian. The Stomach meridian works closely with the Spleen meridian to energetically support the body’s digestion and absorption functions. Together, the two meridians are called the acquired foundation, in that they lay the foundation of digestive health for the body. The Stomach meridian assures that the chi, which can be energetically packaged as nutrients, thoughts, or emotions, descends or is passed into the internal system of the body so it can be utilized. If it ascends instead of descends, the result can include nausea and vomiting. Diseases involving the Stomach meridian typically produce gastric disturbances, toothaches, and mental issues (such as obsessively “going over” the same issues), as well as problems that appear on or near the path of the meridian (such as on the front of the shin for the Stomach meridian and other localities) as shown in figures 3.1 and 3.2. Irregularities in this meridian can appear as stomachaches, mouth sores, digestive disturbances, fluid in the abdomen, hunger, nausea, vomiting, thirst, mouth distortion, edema, neck swelling, a sore throat, shuddering, yawning, and a gray forehead. Mental dysfunctions include antisocial and phobic behavior.

Spleen meridian. The spleen is a vital immune organ and essential for transforming food into chi and blood. It does this by changing the essence of food, which is subtle as well as physical, and also working with the Stomach meridian to eventually incorporate the nutrients and chi of food into the blood. It is also considered to house thoughts and to govern the quality of thought available to the mind. Symptoms of disharmony include a distended abdomen, loss of appetite, hepatitis, bleeding disorders, menstrual disorders, loose stools, diarrhea, flatulence, anorexia, stiffness, swollen or stiff knees or thighs, and pain at the root of the tongue.

Heart meridian. The heart governs the blood and the pulse, as well as the mind and spirit. As might be expected, problems with the Heart meridian usually result in heart problems. Disharmony is indicated by a dry throat, heart pain and palpitations, and thirst. Other symptoms include pain in the chest or along the inner side of the forearm, heat in the palms, yellow eyes, insomnia, and pain or cold along the meridian pathway.

Small Intestine meridian. The Small Intestine meridian separates the pure from the impure, including pure and impure foods, fluids, thoughts, and beliefs. Problems in the Small Intestine meridian usually create diseases of the neck, ears, eyes, throat, head, and small intestine, as well as certain mental illnesses. Symptoms of disharmony can include fevers; sore throats; a swollen chin or lower cheek; a stiff neck; a fixed head stance; hearing problems or deafness; yellow eyes; severe pain of the shoulder, lower jaw, upper arm, elbow, and forearm; and intestinal disorders, including irritable bowel syndrome.

Bladder meridian. The Bladder meridian is in charge of storing and eliminating fluid waste. It receives chi from the Kidney meridian and uses it to transform fluids for elimination. Dysfunction of the Bladder meridian leads to bladder problems and symptoms such as urinary disorders and incontinence. It can also lead to problems in the head, including headaches, protruding eyeballs, a runny nose, nasal congestion, neck tension, yellow eyes, tearing, and nosebleeds. Lower-body issues include pain along the spine, buttocks, and calf muscles, lumbar pain, unbendable hip joints, groin issues, and tight muscles around the knee and in the calves.

Kidney meridian. According to classical sources, kidneys “grasp the chi.” They are the residence of yin and yang. They also rule the bones, teeth, and adrenal glands. Lack of energetic and physical nourishment results in problems such as swelling, diarrhea, and constipation. Other symptoms of disharmony in the Kidney meridian include backaches, ear problems, anorexia, restlessness, insomnia, weak vision, lack of energy, constant fear, dry tongue and hot mouth, spinal and thigh pain, immovable lower limbs, cold, drowsiness, and painful and hot soles of the feet.

Pericardium meridian. The pericardium is a bag that contains the heart, protecting it from foreign invasions, so it’s fitting that the Pericardium meridian works closely with the Heart meridian. This meridian governs the blood and the mind (along with the Heart meridian), thus affecting blood and circulation, as well as personal relationships. Disharmony in the Pericardium meridian is caused by disharmony within heart and blood functions. The most common problems are chest, heart, and breast problems, and symptoms can include chest discomfort, tachycardia or other arrhythmias, swelling in the armpit, a red face, spasms of the elbow and arm, and mania. Note: The heart stores shen, spiritual energy or mental energy affecting the soul. Many mental or emotional problems relate to an imbalance in shen, so the Pericardium is an important meridian for any symptoms related to mental illness. The Pericardium protects the heart from disturbances, including overwhelming emotions, which can lead to physical and mental imbalances. Specific shen points, listed in classical TCM and acupuncture manuals, can be used to protect the heart from the excessive emotions that can flow in from the other meridians. (For more on shen, see “The Three Treasures” later in this chapter. See also “Acupressure to Create Calm: A Shen Pericardium Point” in this chapter.) Triple Warmer (Burner) meridian.

The Triple Warmer is not represented by a physical organ. Rather, it is important because of its job, which is to circulate liquid energy throughout the organs. The Triple Warmer distributes a special chi called source chi, which is produced by the kidneys. It governs the relationship between all the various organs, allocating chi between them. As its name implies, the Triple Warmer comprises three parts:

The Upper Warmer or Burner, which distributes chi from the diaphragm upward and is most commonly associated with lungs and heart (respiration);

The Middle Warmer or Burner, which delivers chi to bodily areas between the diaphragm and navel and is associated with stomach, spleen, liver, and gallbladder (digestion and assimilation);

The Lower Warmer or Burner, which transports chi below the navel and is associated with reproduction and elimination. Problems with the Triple Warmer typically manifest as water retention, a stiff neck, and ailments with the ears, eyes, chest, and throat. Symptoms include those related to water imbalance, such as swelling, urinary incontinence and difficulties, and tinnitus (ringing in the ear).

Gallbladder meridian. The Gallbladder meridian runs the gallbladder, which makes and stores bile. On an energetic basis, this meridian governs decision-making. It is closely connected to the liver; therefore, disharmony with the Gallbladder meridian can be shown as liver issues, including bitterness in the mouth, jaundice, and nausea. Other symptoms include frequent sighing, headaches, pain in the jaw and outer corner of the eyes, swelling in the glands, mental illness, indecisiveness, fever, and pain along the meridian.

Liver meridian. To some Chinese practitioners, the liver is considered the “second heart” of the body. This meridian assures the flow of emotions, chi, and blood; controls the body’s immune response, as well as its sinews (tendons, ligaments, and skeletal muscles); absorbs what is indigestible; and is associated with the eyes. Liver meridian issues most frequently appear as problems in the liver and genital systems. Symptoms can include dizziness, high blood pressure, hernias, a distended lower abdomen in women, nausea, watery stools with undigested food, allergies, incontinence, muscle spasms, the retention of urine, eye problems, and moodiness or anger. Conception vessel (Ren Mai).

The Conception vessel distributes chi to the major organs and maintains the proper balance of chi and blood within the body. The Conception vessel runs down the front of the body, starting just below the eyes. It circles around the mouth to the chest and abdomen before landing at the perineum. Problems with this vessel include uneasiness, hernias, and abdominal issues.

Governor vessel (Du Mai). Like the Conception vessel, the Governor vessel transports chi to the major organs and balances the chi and blood in the body. The Governor vessel starts at the perineum and travels to the coccyx before making its way to the back of the head. Flowing over the head, it then travels down the front of the face to stop at the canines in the upper jaw. Disharmony in this vessel can cause symptoms such as stiffness and scoliosis.

Cyndi Dale’s Subtle Body Practice Manual section on 10 acupressure points

THE TEN GOLDEN ACUPOINTS

Out of the nearly 500 acupoints that exist within the human body, ten points are considered to be the points— the ten golden points that are most important for preventing and treating illnesses and imbalances of all kinds. At the center of acupuncture, acupressure, shiatsu, and other meridian-based therapies are the following acupoints:

 Stomach 36 (ST 36): Revered by ancient physicians for its ability to treat all disease states, ST 36 restores and builds digestive energy in the stomach and the spleen. It is known to alleviate digestive disturbances, including constipation, gas, bloating, nausea, diarrhea, and abdominal pain and distention. It is also used to treat arthritis and weakness associated with aging.

Large Intestine 11 (LI 11): This is one of strongest points for boosting immunity to heal persistent infections. It expels excess heat, such as the heat associated with high fevers, hot flashes, and burning diarrhea. It alleviates damp-heat skin eruptions, such as acne, hives, and herpes zoster. It is useful for blood-circulation issues, such as anemia. Finally, it can be used to treat tremors and tennis elbow.

Large Intestine 4 (LI 4): This is one of the best analgesic points for any type of pain, including headaches and pain in the shoulder and arm. It is one of the most well-known points and is often referred to by the name Hoku. It is very helpful for clearing the excess heat in the body that can cause nosebleeds and fevers. It strengthens the body’s defensive chi and is used for alleviating allergies, sinus congestion, colds, sneezing, runny nose, sore throat, sore eyes, and toothaches. Use of this point is contraindicated during pregnancy.

Bladder 40 (BL 40): This point is very useful in easing back pain (including acute low-back pain),muscle spasms, sprains, knee stiffness, and leg pain. It is also used to treat arthritis, skin-related issues (itching, inflammation), and heat conditions such as heat exhaustion and heatstroke.

Liver 3 (LR 3): This is a primary point for the liberation of chi, for releasing pent-up energy that can contribute to irritability, aggression, anxiety, depression, tension headaches, and premenstrual syndrome (PMS, including painful breasts). It nourishes tendons and ligaments by alleviating overall tightness and tension. Liver 3 is also known as a potent point for alleviating hypertension, insomnia, and even diabetes.

Gallbladder 34 (GB 34): This point controls the wind rising up to the head that causes insomnia, migraines, and anxiety. It is also used to treat indigestion, nausea, vomiting, and bitter tastes in mouth, and to prevent gallstones. It is useful for treating cramping, pain, spasms, sciatica, and other issues with the low back, hips, knees, and leg muscles.

Lung 7 (LU 7): This is a very good point for relief from asthma and breathlessness. It is also a key point for any conditions involving the head and posterior neck, including migraine headaches. It addresses the internal wind that can cause spasms, twitching, and Bell’s palsy. And it is also effective for treating exterior wind issues such as alternating chills and fever, runny nose, scratchy and sore throat, sneezing, and body aches.

Heart 7 (HE 7 also known as HT 7): This point calms the mind and invites relaxation when overactive thinking has induced anxiety. It relieves insomnia due to overexcitement. It also reduces heart palpitations and regulates the heart by harmonizing its function, balancing emotions, and strengthening the spirit (or shen).

Spleen 6 (SP 6): Nourishing the spleen and building the blood, this point is important for addressing all gynecological, sexual, urinary, digestive, and emotional imbalances. It is often used to treat anxiety, insomnia, headaches, and menstrual cramps. And it’s valued for relieving the feeling of heaviness and tiredness. Use of this point is contraindicated during pregnancy.

Kidney 1 (KI 1): This is a powerful point for grounding and connecting with earth energy. In this way, it is useful for calming and soothing someone who is highly anxious or has experienced a shock. It is used to treat headaches, hypertension, diarrhea, and insomnia. And it is also a vital point for nourishing the inner fire, especially in the elderly.

LOCATING YOUR TEN GOLDEN ACUPOINTS

Here are brief descriptions of the locations of your golden points, which are pictured in figure 12.2. A cun is the width of your thumb. Acupoints are found in depressive or slightly indented areas, often near the bones. You’ll often feel tenderness in the spots that are blocked. (Note: Several of these points should not be used when pregnant or low on energy. Discuss these matters with a professional meridian specialist if you are concerned.)

Stomach 36 (ST 36): Three cun below your kneecap, one fingerbreadth toward the anterior crest of your tibia.

Large Intestine 11 (LI 11): Found at end of crease line on the outer side of your bent elbow.

Large Intestine 4 (LI 4): Press together your thumb and first finger to form an elevation. The point is at the highest point of the mound.

Bladder 40 (BL 40): Behind the knee, at the center of the crease.

Liver 3 (LR 3): On the top of your foot between your first (largest) and second toe bones, about three cuns in from large toe.

Gallbladder 34 (GB 34): On the outside of the leg just below your knee, in the tender depression about one cun below the head of the fibula.

Lung 7 (LU 7): Extend your thumb with the nail up, away from the palm of your hand. Find the depressed area at the base of your thumb, near your wrist. About another thumb-length (not a cun, which is the width) down this left side, you’ll find another bone that sticks out. LU 7 is in between those two tendons.

Heart 7 (HE 7 also known as HT 7): At the wrist joint on the inner side, palm up, at the side of the pisiform bone. (About one cun from pinky side of wrist.)
