SAMDA Healing Courses: MERIDIANS - The Life Force Highway


Meridians are the final component of the human energy body. The easiest way to describe them is that they are the energy equivalent of the arteries and veins which carry your blood around your body, in other words they are energy channels.

These channels carry your life-force, or Ki, around your body. The major meridians route the energy lengthways through the body, connecting with all of the body's major organs. There are also other smaller energy channels, minor meridians which criss-cross throughout the body, connecting all the parts together so that Ki can flow everywhere.





There are twelve Major, eight Extraordinary, and a host of Minor Meridians. Each Major Meridian corresponds with an organ of the body, and is classified either as

YIN (female, dark receptive, solid) or
YANG (male, bright, active, and hollow).
The Yin organs (also called ZANG organs) are deep within the body and have to do mainly with manufacturing and storing Ki.

The Yang (or FU) organs are closer to the surface and deal mainly with receiving, digesting and excreting Ki.

Your body itself has Yin and Yang facets, the outer sides of limbs are more Yang, the inner sides more Yin and the Yin meridians flow upwards and the Yang meridians flow downwards.

Because Yin and Yang are complementary, a dis-ease or problem of a Yang organ or meridian can be treated via its' Yin counterpart (and vice-versa) so, for example, heart problems can be treated using the Large Intestine Meridian and so on.

It is on these Meridians that the various points exist which are used in complementary therapies such as acupuncture or acupressure. It is also these Meridians that connect all parts of the body with the areas on the feet and hands which are used as pressure points in reflexology.

All dis-eases (physical, mental, emotional or Spiritual) are due to an imbalance of Ki.

It can be either an excess or a deficiency of Ki, the flow of Ki is sluggish or too fast or there might be a blocked or broken Meridian.

The above has a knock-on effect on the body's other systems, so giving energy healing to a particular meridian is an effective method of treating any problem at the source. See a guide to possible areas in which you or your patients energies may need rebalancing here.


There is more to the human body than the physical body. You can learn about this most precious of gifts, take the self-healing route and actualize joyous, vibrant disease-free health.

When you begin to develop your senses, a new and fascinating world opens before you; the hidden world suddenly unveils itself - your perception heightens and your thoughts and feelings are expressed before your very own eyes in colour and form.


There is NOTHING in the Universe to be afraid of, except your own ignorance and its consequences.

How can we work with the Meridians?

One of the easiest ways to use the them for healing is by running a hand over the path of the meridian. To strengthen a weak meridian, the meridian is "run" forwards, from its beginning to its end. To weaken or sedate a meridian that is over-energized and that is drawing energy from other systems, the meridian is run backwards from end to beginning.

For an example, to relax and calm stressful energy by sedating the Triple Warmer:

"Running" a meridian in its usual direction strengthens its energy, and running a meridian backwards weakens, sedates, or calms it. When the triple warmer is over-energized, the goal is to calm it.

To run a meridian backward, touch the end point, then glide your hand over the area through which the meridian passes, finishing by touching the beginning point. The exact path of the meridian is not important: only that you touch the exact start and end points.

Sedating the Triple Warmer: Use the opposite hand to touch the outside edge of the eyebrow, furthest from your nose. Then pass your hand back (away from your face), over and around your ear, down the back of your neck, across the back of your shoulder, and down the outside of your arm and the back of your hand. Touch the fourth finger (the "ring finger") at the base of the nail.

Now repeat this motion, gently, at least three times on each side of your body and it's done!

Just that easy.



Easy Self-Healing Technique

This is an easy "all-round" healing technique:

Grasp the inside joint of each knee, at the point where it bends, with the palm of your opposite hand, hold it for up to 5 minutes.

This is an amazing technique and works for just about anything, since it helps to clear blockages in all of the meridians and to re-harmonizes the Ki flow throughout them. This healing technique gives a general "lift" to your energies.

It works well for stomach cramps, headaches and when you have bronchitis or similar dis-ease it even promotes easier breathing.

For all you "office Jills and Johns" just press your knees together firmly, you'll be practicing a different kind of healing with your knees.

The information given below is not a guide to the meridians, it should also not be relied upon as an exclusive source for diagnosis (a qualified medical practitioner must always be approached for any diagnosis).

Use the following as a guide to possible areas in which you or your patients energies may need rebalancing.


12 Major Meridians

Healing the meridians is based on the concept that an insufficient supply of ki, chi or life force makes a person vulnerable to disease. Ki flows continuously from one meridian to another and any break in the flow is an indication of imbalance. If a person's vitality or energy is recognizably diminished it is an indication that the body's organs or tissues are functioning poorly, therefore the Ki flow is inadequate.

The twelve major meridians correspond to specific human organs: kidneys, liver, spleen, hearth, lungs, pericardium, bladder, gall bladder, stomach, small and large intestines, and the triple burner (body temperature regulator).




Lungs (Yin) and Large Intestine (Yang)

Lung:

The lungs govern respiration and Ki intake. Deficient lung Ki leaves the body open to viral or bacterial infections such as colds and flu. Coughing and congestive diseases are due to Rebellious Ki - Ki which is flowing upwards, rather than downwards to the kidneys.

Other problems associated with the lungs include:

abnormal sweating and inflammations in the upper part of the body
problems with the nose and sense of smell
all skin conditions such as eczema or psoriasis (this is because the
lungs control the metabolic system which distributes liquid to the skin)
Your lungs are connected with emotional sensitivity too as they relate to our ability to cope with grieving, to how isolated from or connected with the world around us we feel. Back to Diagram

The Large Intestine:

The large intestine extracts water from waste material passed on to it by the small intestine before excreting it as solid matter. All abdominal pains are connected with this organ and meridian (which can be a symptom of blocked Ki).

Any problems of holding on or letting go in life also relate to the large intestine. Back to Diagram

Spleen (Yin) and Stomach (Yang)

The Spleen Meridian:

The spleen governs several different bodily processes:

it regulates digestion
it helps to control the flow of blood within blood vessels
it affects muscle and limb tone (because it helps distribute nutrients containing purified Ki around the body)
Some of the problems which can be related to an imbalanced spleen or Spleen Meridian:

general fatigue
abdominal problems (pain, distension or bloating, an uncomfortable feeling of fullness, diarrhea)
lack of appetite
prolapsed internal organs
weak or flabby muscles
Deficient spleen Ki can cause a muzzy feeling in the head, or a scatterbrained mentality. Properly balanced spleen Ki is believed to ensure a long, healthy and happy life. Back to Diagram

The Stomach:

The stomach is responsible for digesting food, extracting Ki from the food and passing it on to the spleen and the intestines. All digestive problems can be traced back to the stomach. On an emotional level this organ is concerned with worry, with nervousness (feeling of butterfly's in the stomach), and also with acceptance (either being able or not able to "stomach" someone or something). Back to Diagram

Heart (Yin) and Small Intestine (Yang)

The Heart:

Your heart pumps blood around your body, and any imbalance or blockage here can show up in a number of ways:

palpitations
short or shallow breathing
chest pains
problems with temperature regulation (hot flushes, cold sweats or a constant feeling of cold)
dizziness
irritability
insomnia
The heart is related to feeling joy. It also regulates a form of Ki called Shen (this does not translate easily into English it means "Ki" which is energy, "brain" and "spirit" all at once). Imbalanced Shen can cause psychological problems. Back to Table

The Small Intestine:

The small intestine extracts nourishment and Ki from digested food, which it receives from the stomach, and distributes it through the body. It then passes waste material on to the large intestine.

Problems associated with the small intestine include:

abdominal distension and poor digestion
neuralgia
acne
swollen lymph glands (especially in the throat)
sore or stiff shoulders
poor circulation or weakness in the legs
constant feelings of cold
Back to Table

Kidneys (Yin) and Bladder (Yang)

The Kidneys:

Production of bone marrow and blood are both controlled by the kidneys. The kidneys also regulate growth and the development of the reproductive functions (because they store sexual energy). They also play a part in regulating the body's Yin/Yang balance.

Kidney problems include:

Backache
genital-urinary disorders
asthma (due to deficient kidney Ki)
tinnitus (due to deficient kidney Ki)
Emotionally, the kidneys are related to willpower and determination, and the ability to cope with life. Back to Diagram

Bladder:

The bladder is responsible for excreting liquid waste from the body.

Problems associated with it include:

all urinary dis-eases
back pains
stiffness in the neck and shoulders
headaches
On an emotional level, the bladder relates literally to feeling "pissed off". Blocked bladder Ki can also relate to an inability to express emotions (emotional problems are a major cause of bed wetting in children). Back to Diagram

Pericardium (Yin) and Triple Warmer (Yang)

Pericardium:

The pericardium is a muscular, fluid-filled sac which surrounds, lubricates and protects the heart. It also draws off excess energy from the heart and dissipates it from the body through an energy point in the palm of the hand. This is an important point to remember, as concentrating energy in your heart centre then directing it out through the hands is a fundamental technique in most forms of energy healing and vibrational medicine. Back to Diagram

The Triple Warmer:

This is certainly the least familiar and most difficult concept in Chinese Medicine for Westerners to understand. San Jiao (Triple Heater) is a Chinese description of a metabolism rather than any particular organ: it is a system which co-ordinates and controls the body's heat/moisture balance, and has "...a name, but no form...".

Each of the three Warmers relates to a different area of the body:

Upper Warmer: the upper part of the body, including the head, neck, chest, heart and lungs, ... the Upper Burner has been compared to a mist which spreads the blood and Ki.
Middle Warmer: the middle of the body between the chest and the navel, including the solar plexus, the stomach, the liver and spleen, ... the Middle Burner is like a foam which churns up food in the process of digestion.
Lower Warmer: the lower abdomen, including the liver (again!), kidneys and bladder, ... the Lower Burner resembles a swamp where all impure substances are excreted.
Because the Triple Warmer covers such a wide range of organs, a wide range of disorders are associated with it which includes:

hearing problems (including deafness and tinnitus)
fatigue
breathing difficulties
urinary disorders
I believe it is fair to say that the triple Warmer will be involved with any problem associated with any other organ. Back to Diagram

Liver (Yin) and Gall Bladder (Yang)

The Liver:

The liver is a major organ for storing Ki and regulating its' flow throughout the body. It also governs menstruation and the female sexual cycle and ensures the flexibility of ligaments and tendons.

Physical problems associated with the liver include:

PMS
PMT and any menstrual disorders
jaundice
dry skin
stiff joints
vertigo
dry eyes and blurred vision
headaches
There are a range of emotional problems which can be caused by imbalanced or blocked Liver Ki for example:

depression
lack of emotional flexibility
bad temper and irritability
a lack of control in your life
Back to Diagram

The Gall Bladder:

As its' name suggests, the gall bladder stores and excretes bile (also known as "gall") which is produced by the liver.

Problems with this organ include:

liver pains
uncomfortable "bloated" sensations in the abdomen
a yellowish tinge to the tongue, skin and urine
Back to Diagram

The Extraordinary Meridians

These act as reservoirs of Ki for the Major Meridians, and help it to circulate through the body. They also regulate the cycle of complete change which our body undergoes every seven years.

For most general healing purposes including Reiki Healing, you need to know about only three (all of which are used in exercises to help you learn how to circulate Ki), although there are eight in total (the last five are rarely used or encountered, even in the most advanced healing and esoteric work).

Du Mai - The Governing Meridian.

Starting at the coccyx, this meridian runs up the spine and terminates at the mouth's upper palate, just behind the teeth. It is the main channel for Defensive Ki, and controls all of the Yang meridians.

Ren Mai - The Conception Meridian.

This meridian governs all Yin meridians. It starts at the tip of the tongue and runs down the front of the body to the centre of the perineum.

Dai Mai - The Girdle Meridian.

This meridian governs our sense of horizontal balance. It runs in a ring around the body, on a plane roughly parallel with the navel and the kidneys. Back to Diagram
