Meridians and Emotions

The approach to disease in Western allopathic medicine can be likened to the bug
spray approach to garbage. You can spray the garbage with bug spray all week but as
long as there is garbage, there will be bugs and flies and their eggs. The Eastern
meridian approach to disease is to simply get rid of the garbage, the flies will disappear
with the garbage.

Lets consider the notion of disease or discomfort by comparing the philosophy between
western allopathic medicine and traditional chinese medicine. With the teachings of
allopathic medicine, the belief is that we get sick because of germs. If this was true then
we would be dead the minute we were born. Germs remain dormant rather than a threat
to us as long as we have a healthy immune response.

Discovering the fundamentals of the immune response, three dimensionally by

observing the eastern meridian approach is the key to body balance and your health.

The Eastern Five Element theory teaches us that we have two immune responses. One
physical immune system with the endocrine and lymphatic system, same as the
allopathic model but also an energy immune system; the meridians. By following the
teachings of Allopathic medicine only the physical immune system can be strengthened
to gain health, but by considering the effects of meridians from the Traditional chinese
medicine, a secondary resource is adopted to enhance our well being. The flow of the
meridian is as critical as the flow of blood; your life and health depend upon it. If
meridian energy is blocked or unregulated, the system it feeds is jeopardized.

The Eastern Meridian and Five Element approach to health theorizes that sickness is
caused by weather conditions that exist in our personal environment. The weather
conditions are described as external weather; physical exposure to the outside climate
and internal weather; emotional vulnerability to your internal atmosphere.

External weather is simply being over exposed to the five elements. Heat, Damp, Dry
Cold and Wind. As an example: Being form
Canada and going to the equator in the
middle of winter may be too much heat, often
shown up as small intestine imbalance or
loose stools or worse, diarrhea. What about
sitting in a fishing boat on rainy day?? Too
much damp creates the sniffles. Being over-
exposed to dryness often creates breathing
issues and being too cold can set off
infections in your kidney and bladder and
being exposed to constant wind takes toll on
the liver.

Internal weather, is emotional stress from

being caught up in our personal drama, causing us to fester about scenarios and
propelling us into a state of emotional imbalance which eventually affects the physical
body in the way of pain or discomfort. The five elements filter emotional themes: with
fire it is joy.. too much or too little, if it is out of balance the fire element meridians have
to fluctuate to bring resolve to the integrity of the meridian flow. For earth it is sympathy,
for metal it is grief, for water it is fear and for liver it is irritation and anger.

Emotions are meant to stir us and move us into appropriate action, this is defined inside
the word emotion: emote is to feel and motion is to take action. Emotions move through
us every second of the day, it s what we do with them that guarantees balance. Its
when we get caught off guard with an incident or situation and we let it fester that the
emotion gets stuck and adversely affects a meridian that ultimately affects our
harmonious balance. This is what the traditional chinese medical practitioners coin
internal bad weather.

Bad weather from emotional disturbance (internal environment) or overexposure to

environmental elements (external environment) causes the body to become sick. The
micro-organism balance in the body becomes upset, hence bacteria, fungus and viruses
invade the body. This is the time we seek Western medicine but there are no longer the
signs of bad weather just symptoms. The allopathic medical model then proceeds to
treat the symptoms of bacteria, fungus and virus, but never explores the cause or bad
weather. By understanding the importance of the meridians in regards to our immune
system, we can explore the reasons for the bad weather and prevent the micro-
organism imbalance in the body. This is like taking the garbage out.

In Energy Kinesiology we can easily explore the causes of bad weather by assessing
the integrity of the meridians, offering physical balance and knowing the basic emotional
theme of the elements. With further training in kinesiology the knowledge expands to
understanding that each meridian portrays a kaleidoscope with shades of emotions,
which brings the client closer to moving a stuck emotion.

Offering the body balance on all three dimensions is the new frontier of health.
Balancing the physical body with kinesiology techniques (physical dimension) combined
with discovering client awareness (emotional dimension) to the blocked emotion and
assisting the emotion to take motion, eventually results in a new outlook spiritual
dimension) on situations and with life.

This is ultimately a forecast of good weather, for both the external environment and
the internal environment.
