Meridians and Emotions by Sofía Randall

BY: SOFIA RANDALL @RANDALLITA

Did you know that hate, anger, envy lower our vital energy? It often happens to us that we drag out schemes of previous experiences that we project in the present; and unconscious situations in early childhood are triggered, therefore our current life is often determined by unresolved situations of the past but do not despair all this has a solution! and that is called CHI.

Our spiritual qualities, emotions and virtues as human beings are linked to our vital organs and to certain energy points in the body. Our emotions, feelings, can be healed through the KI or CHI Chinese term that we commonly listen to yoga teachers, feng shui consultants, etc. much has been said and much has been written about this vital energy, well, every living being possesses Ki, plants, animals, human beings, and of course all the nature that surrounds us. Chi acts as a link that unites the physical body, the energy body and the spirit body. These energy points travel through channels called Nadis or acupuncture meridians.

NADIS IN ENERGETIC BODY

Thousands of years ago, Taoist masters discovered the Chi (energy) centers of the body, through inner observation. For this, the body had to be separated from external stimuli and meditated, so that, in this way, the internal senses were activated. Through mental and physical relaxation processes, using their inner senses, they discovered that some parts of the body have more Chi than others serving as nutrient accumulation points for specific organs and glands.

Well, everyone was born with this energy flow circuit . Even in the womb, the Chi of a fetus flows through its own orbit. After birth, this path is free and open, until puberty appears, when the body feels the pressures of hormonal change and physical development, emotions become stronger during the adolescence phase. Stress is one of the main factors that produce the blockages of Chi that appear in the channels of the body when you are an adult .

As spiritual qualities, or virtues, are linked to our vital organs, Taoist instruction causes the physical body to be restored and maintained healthy, as the basis of spiritual work. When an organ does not receive enough Chi, its physical state may deteriorate and, at the same time, it may be more difficult for the virtue of this organ to manifest itself.

As I mentioned earlier in other notes, Chinese medical thought is focused on the concept of energy, all that exists in nature is energy in perpetual motion and transformation. The energies that make the human body work are called yin and yang and communicate with each other to all organs through channels called meridians . According to the Hindu tradition there are about 72 thousand nadis or energy channels that connect the aura with our physical body.

Acupuncture points in the human body were originally classified in ancient China into 14 separate groups. The line that joins the acupuncture points in each group is called Meridiano . Of these 14 meridians, 12 are bilateral (to the right and left of the body), the remaining 2 are in the midline of the body.

TABLE OF SYMPTOMS WHEN THE MERIDIANS ARE IN BALANCE

Each meridian has a defined path in the body, which is divided into two parts: The internal path, the external path .

The internal route has its origin in an organ, travels internally through the body and connects to the external route at the acupuncture point.

The external route ends at the acupuncture point terminal and is connected to another internal route, bringing it back to the home organ, converting the total or meridian path into a closed circuit.

Each Meridian is named according to the organ of origin, for example: Liver, Pancreas, Spleen, Stomach etc., except for the two located in the midline; the one of later location is called Governor Vessel and the previous one is called “Conception Vessel”.

Body energy circulates through specific paths called meridians, which, in the number of twelve, are distributed symmetrically to each side of the body. Six of them are yin and six yang:

1.- Lung Meridian (P).
2.- Meridian of the Large Intestine (IG).
3.- Stomach Meridian (E).
4.- Meridian of the Spleen-Pancreas (BP).
S, - Meridian of the Heart (C).
6.- Meridian of the Small Intestine (ID).
7.- Bladder Meridian (V),
8.- Kidney Meridian (R).
9.- Meridian Circulation and Sexuality (CS).
10.- Meridian Triple Heater (TC).
11.- Meridian of the Gallbladder (VB).
12.- Meridian of the Liver (H).

When the energy of acupuncture meridians flows freely throughout the body, the cerebral hemispheres are balanced . At the same time, the thymus (the gland that is one of the central controls of the body's immune system) will be activated. Each meridian has a specific, positive and negative emotional attitude .

When we are in a certain negative emotional state, the activity of the thymus gland will be weakened, it will also produce a general deterioration of the vital energy, and a specific deterioration of the meridian energy linked to that emotional state.

If this emotional state persists for a long time, the associated meridians will continue to become unbalanced, damaging the physiology of the corresponding organ until causing the disease. This chain of events demonstrates how important psychosomatic factors are for health.

The thymus gland is the link between the mind and the body, being the first affected by mental attitudes and stress. The thymus controls and regulates the vital energy through the acupuncture meridians, therefore it is the master key to the body's energy system.

Most people when they have to face a tragedy, be it a personal illness or the death of a family member, respond by decreasing the activity of their thymus, reducing their vital energy, the body's first response to stress is the shrinking of The thymus gland . Hate and love are the most primary emotions that we humans have, fear makes us vulnerable to stress.

According to Freud and the psychoanalyst M. Klein within us nests the instinct of life and the instinct of death, so that there is at all times an impulse of self-destruction that fights against our desire to love, live, realize and grow. This deep struggle that occurs within us, is happening within our scam permanently. Lack of hope or despair is a psychological condition that has been linked to the thyroid meridian.

Some of the positive attributes of the thymus are: Faith , trust, gratitude, courage. There are techniques to unlock and make energy flow freely through the body or unlock them if they are low or with an excess of energy among them are acupuncture, digit-puncture, reflexology, massage, light bulbs with specific colors, medicine bioenergetics, ho'ponopono, CHI KUNG, yoga, Reiki and certain statements that will activate the vital energy that will help overcome stress and energy imbalances that may affect us.

ACUPUNCTURE

REFLEXOLOGY

CHI KUNG POSTURES

In the case of affirmations such as: «I am full of love. I have faith, trust, gratitude and courage ». The more they repeat themselves, the better they will restore our vital energy, helping us to change and make decisions in life.

According to psychoanalysts the basis of hatred, envy and all other negative emotions is a deep and primal fear. It is likely that such fear is related to the "trauma of birth." The word envy comes from the Latin word "invidia, " which means a hostile look, from which we get all the other expressions that have to do with the evil eye.

In short, the thymus controls our vital energy . If we want to be well, if we want to have our physical and mental energies balanced and active, if we want to be invulnerable to stress, we must have a good thymus activity. This gland is controlled by the most powerful emotions, both positive and negative . @Randallita

When the thymus is active, the person will find himself on the path of health and the positive choices and choices of life . Therefore, we must choose a way of life that stays away from fear, hatred and envy, directing ourselves and choosing for positive emotions such as love, trust, faith, gratitude and courage. The power of love can make very powerful biochemical changes in the body.

When we are in situations of stress, not only does the thymus gland weaken, but also an imbalance between the two cerebral hemispheres that prevents us from reaching a beneficial and creative solution to the problem. One of the hemispheres, usually the left one is usually the predominant one, the hyperactive one. The function of the left hemisphere is expressed by the priority use of your right hand.

The left hemisphere is trained to face everyday reality, logical reactions. This deals primarily with verbal, language and orderly and detailed information processing skills. That is, that speaking, writing and reading are mostly under the control of the left hemisphere of the brain. An injury to this area causes all kinds of language related problems. This hemisphere controls the processes of logical and consecutive thinking, mathematics and semantics.

On the other hand, the right hemisphere is related to fantasy, imagination, dreams, intuition, spatial relationships, rhythm, rhyme, music, humor, laughter and syntax. In this hemisphere is the headquarters of visual information. It deals with spatial relationships. A person whose brain has been injured in the right hemisphere often loses their sense of direction, is unable to find their own home's path. This hemisphere is responsible for processing the visual information of a situation in a holistic, global way. It controls the processes of abstract thinking and our emotional reactions.

The two hemispheres have different functions in the human body. The left hemisphere is linked to an aspect of the Neurovegetative nervous system, the parasympathetic that autonomously regulates respiratory, digestive and cardiac, endocrine, metabolic, etc. For its part, the right hemisphere is linked to the sympathetic system

To achieve full psychobiological harmony, a balance and synchronization between the two hemispheres and a high vital energy is required . We can achieve this goal, practicing some creative activity: listen to some kind of music such as baroque (which synchronizes the cerebral hemispheres), read poetry, paint, dance, observe nature, etc.

When both hemispheres are synchronized, a current of energy is produced that permeates all our activities of daily life and in our thinking there is no total predominance of logic over intuition and the global perception of things.

All our biography in the present moment and our mental attitude now constitutes the result of all the unconscious emotional processes of the past. To free ourselves from suffering, and to achieve desired goals and purposes. @Randallita
