Energy abnormalities are constantly encountered in all people, both the clinically healthy (with all the perfect test sets) and ill people. In healthy people, the energy abnormalities fall within the limits supported by the body, while in ill people, the energy anomalies are beyond the limits supported by the body, generating various ailments.

In the energy meridians of the human being, three categories of energy anomalies are distinguished: energy surplus, energy deficit and energy oscillations, all of which are unfavourable to the body. Persistent anomalies, with large amplitudes, are the most dangerous. Energy anomalies of the energy meridians are caused by:

 

  • The foreign energy presences;

Viruses, bacteria, protozoa, fungi and parasites are foreign energetic presences, foreign biological factors, which strongly affect our lifestyle. In most cases, the immune system and hygiene measures keep the foreign presences under control, preventing them from entering and multiplying and preventing other manifestations with consequences on the state of health. When the body's defences are overcome, parasites and microorganisms produce infectious diseases, sexually transmitted diseases or parasitic diseases.

The conditions produced by foreign biological factors generate specific anomalies on the energy meridians for each type of foreign presence. Meridian energy treatments have no notable results against foreign biological factors with a few minor exceptions (bioresonance-based equipment can destroy these parasites and viruses). Modern medical methods such as microbiology, vaccines, the pharmaceutical industry, preventive measures and body hygiene are used to identify and remove foreign presences.

 

  • The interaction between energy meridians;

The interaction between the 12 meridians generates anomalies that vary from individual to individual, stable anomalies throughout life. Every human being has, since birth, meridians with surplus energy, meridians with energy deficit, meridians with oscillations (or unstable meridians) and meridians with insignificant energy anomalies. All these 4 types of anomalies are distributed on the meridians in a configuration specific to each human being, depending on the transpersonal (previous) lives lived and the perinatal influences of each human being.

The configuration of anomalies on the energy meridians includes: one, two or, in rare cases, three energy surplus meridians, an identical number of energy deficiency meridians, a few energy oscillation meridians, usually 4 or 5, and the difference up to 12 belongs to the meridians with insignificant energy anomalies (see the principles of hermeticism).

 

  • Circadian rhythm, monthly, annual, 12-year and 60-year cycles;

According to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the human body operates according to a fixed schedule, and the health of the body is also fluctuating. These cycles are repeated daily, monthly and annually.

 

  • Disturbances of a psychological nature;

The human psychic system is a set of sensory, cognitive and regulatory functions and psychic processes that interact, activate simultaneously and are arranged at 3 levels: conscious, subconscious and unconscious.

The conscious level represents the supreme form of the psychic organization through which the subjective-active integration of all psychic phenomena is achieved and which makes it possible for the individual to continuously relate to the environment. At this level, a reflection with science is carried out, that is, a reflection in which the individuals have information that they can use, or realize they have in their attempts to understand, decipher, and interpret.

The subconscious level lies below the conscious level and is the seat of automated actions and stores of knowledge accumulated but which have escaped conscious control. At this level,  it can be found the potential memory, the set of skills and operations available to the individual, and stereotyped perceptual or intellectual montages, which were once conscious, but which are currently unfolding outside of conscious control. It is a reserve and basis for conscious activity.

The unconscious level is at the opposite pole of the conscious level, in the deep areas of the human psychic system. While consciousness predominantly focuses on objective reality, the unconscious focuses on its own being, which it expresses directly in what it has as instinctual starts, drives, needs, affective states, hidden thoughts, and deep, abyssal or repressed phantasms.

Most abnormalities of psychic functions have causes of external origin to the energy meridians such as stress, disappointments, frustrations, emotional shocks, sometimes physical problems, etc. These causes cause disturbances in the energies and functions of the human psychic system and induce notable anomalies in the energy meridians. The intensity and duration of the causes determine the extent of the anomalies. Intense and almost permanent psychological traumas generate the greatest energy damage. Anomalies of psychic origin are distributed equally on the meridians and are felt intensely in the meridians prone to energy imbalances (disease).

 

  • Interferences from the social environment.

 The vital energy flowing through the energy meridians, qi, strongly interacts with the energy in the meridians of people and animals nearby. The strongest interactions occur at close range and direct touch. In situations where closeness is maintained for long periods, several hours a day (couples, family members, work colleagues, neighbours, etc.), the interactions stabilize and strongly influence the state of health.

Interactions between the vital energies of two people have various consequences, sometimes insignificant, rarely beneficial for both people, often unpleasant for both people, and quite often unfavourable for one of the people and with some advantages for the other.

Energetic interactions consist of energy accumulation, transmission and destabilization. Energy transmission and destabilization can cause serious harm to health. The accumulation of vital energy is a rare phenomenon, favourable for the people involved. The transmission of vital energy is carried out from one person to another according to rules related to the individual configuration of energy meridians. Transmission involves the loss of vital energy for the person possessing donor properties and the gain of vital energy for the person possessing receiver properties. All people have donor properties and receiver properties at the same time, and the donor-to-receiver ratio differs greatly from person to person; for example, men are donors compared to women who are recipients, resulting in the difference in average longevity between the sexes. When the transmission is carried out for a long time, the phenomenon of energy vampirism appears, frequently encountered in couples (at least one-third of marriages develop forms of energy vampirism).

Vampirism is about life energy, qi, and is extremely harmful to the donor. In the first years after the installation of the vital energy transmission, the donor begins to have relatively minor but much more frequent health problems than before, and after 15-20 years after the installation of the energy transmission, the donor discovers serious diseases, most often in advanced chronic forms. In an energy vampirism relationship, the life expectancy of the donor is much lower than the statistical average, sometimes even by 20-30 years. The receiver in the energy vampirism relationship is in good health and gets sick very rarely or not at all.

All these energy abnormalities produced by different causes overlap and accumulate their effects and change the body's general energy balance.

 

 

Energy flow along the Gallbladder meridian

It is associated with the energy Shaoyang (smaller Yang) and the wood element, starting at the top of the corner of the eye, going down to the side towards the hairline, then crossing it in a zig-zag pattern, passing over the forehead, then going down over the head on the back of the neck towards the armpit and the front lower ribs, then to the pelvis and hip joint on the outside of the leg down to the knee and calf to the sole, ending near the nail of the fourth toe, see the figure and clip below. Internal link: gall bladder.

Energetically, the Gall Bladder Meridian is in opposition to the Small Intestine Meridian and has control over the Lung, Pericardium, and Kidney meridians. As a result of being in opposition to the Small Intestine meridian, the body obtains the advantage of optimal assimilation of lipids.

Blockages of this meridian lead to choleric headaches, muscle pain, stones and pain in the gall bladder, congestion in the ribs and chest, stiffness of the hip joint, digestive problems (poor metabolism of fats, gas), calf and ankle pain.

 

.

 Energy flow along the Triple Heater meridian

 

It is associated with Shaoyang energy (lesser Yang) and the element of fire. The Triple Heater Meridian is made up of three heaters: the upper one (associated with the ribcage and breathing), the middle one (associated with the upper area of ​​the back containing the stomach and the upper digestive system, which contains the duodenum, parts of the lymphatic system, pancreatic secretions, etc.) and the lower one (associated with the lower area of ​​the dorsal part, containing the large and small intestine, the kidneys and the bladder and is associated with the excretory functions). It starts from the tip of the ring finger, crosses the arm on the back side through the elbow and shoulder then onto the upper trapezius where it rotates on the back of the neck around the ear and stops at the outer edge of the eyebrow, see the figure and clip below. Internal connections: crosses the Gallbladder Meridian in the shoulder region, a branch goes to the chest and connects with the Pericardium Meridian, then travels down to the abdomen. A branch from the chest goes up the neck around the ear to the outside of the eye, and another branch enters the ear and continues to the outer corner and connects with the Gall Bladder Meridian.

Energetically, the Triple Heater Meridian is in opposition to the Stomach meridian and controls the Liver, Lung, Bladder, and Kidney meridians. As a result of being in opposition to the Stomach Meridian, the body optimizes energy needs, coordinates the sensations of hunger and thirst and optimizes the movement/rest ratio. The Triple Heater Meridian governs global energy consumption.

Blockages of this meridian lead to feeling cold, ear infections, tonsillitis, sore throat, swollen glands, eye problems, cataracts, cold hands and feet, excessive sweating, lack of energy, chronic fatigue syndrome, menstrual cycle disorders, thinning hair, dry skin.

 

Energy flow along the Pericardium meridian.

Also called the Meridian of Sex or the Meridian of Circulation, it is associated with Jueyin energy (absolute Yin) and the element of fire, starting at the side of the chest, going down the inner side of the arm to the palm in the middle, ending at the end of the middle finger, see figure and the clip below. Internal connections: enters the pericardium, descends through the diaphragm to the abdomen, connects with the Triple Heater and another branch goes to the PC1 (Celestial Pool) point.

Energetically, the Pericardium Meridian is in opposition to the SP meridian and controls the Gallbladder, Liver, Small Intestine, and Urinary Bladder meridians. As a result of being in opposition to the Spleen Pancreas meridian, it normalizes blood circulation and improves blood purification mechanisms. The Pericardium meridian has an important role in controlling the automaticity of the heart.

Blockages of this meridian lead to hormonal problems, depression, mood swings, poor memory, poor concentration, eye problems, wet palms, hot flashes, poor circulation, arteriosclerosis, tachycardia, heart attack, swollen and painful armpits and hunger, thirst and sleep disorders.

 

Energy flow along the kidney meridian.

 

It is associated with the Shaoyin energy (smaller Yin) and the element of water, starting in the sole of the foot, after which it surrounds the ankle and then passes through the inside of the knee, then through the scalar and lumbar area to the bladder, then to the kidneys where it connects with the energy that circulates through the torso, ending somewhere in the collarbone area, see the figure and clip below. Internal connections: from point GV1 (Long Strong) it passes through the liver and diaphragm and enters the lung, slides down the throat and ends at the root of the tongue. Another branch springs from the lung and joins the heart and connects with the Pericardium.

Energetically, the Kidney Meridian is in opposition to the Lung Meridian and controls the Small Intestine, Triple Heater, and Gallbladder meridians. As a result of being in opposition to the Lung Meridian, the body accelerates the elimination of toxic substances and gases soluble in the blood, resulting from metabolism.

Blockages of this meridian lead to imbalances in bodily fluids, saddle pain, pain in the hips, kidneys, knees, ankles, sacral bone or soles, as well as incontinence, hernias or hemorrhoids.

 

 

Energy flow along the bladder meridian

It is associated with the Taiyang energy (the greater Yang) and the water element, starting in the corner of the eye, then it goes up to the forehead, it joins the Governor's Vessel meridian and in the upper part of the head a branch goes to the temple. The right portion enters and communicates with the brain. It then emerges and bifurcates to descend along the back of the neck. It then continues along the back, enters the body cavity in the lumbar region, connects with the kidney and joins the urinary bladder. The lumbar branch of the meridian descends through the gluteal region and ends in the popliteal fossa, the neck branch continues down the back and joins the popliteal fossa and then descends the side of the little toe, the figure and clip below.

Energetically the Urinary Bladder Meridian is in opposition to the Large Intestine Meridian and controls the Spleen Pancreas, Heart, Pericardium, and Triple Heater meridians. As a result of being in opposition to the Large Intestine meridian, the body accelerates the elimination of residues and toxins.

Blockages of this meridian lead to incontinence and painful urination, kidney and bladder infections, leaky bladder, spine pain and stiffness in the lumbar area, and pain in the hips, leg and sole.

The energetic connection between the meridian of the Small Intestine and the characteristic internal organ - the Small Intestine - is made mainly through points 1, 3, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 19 of the meridian of the Small Intestine and the circuit of arteries formed by: the superior mesenteric artery, jejunal and ileal arteries, secondary vascular arches, quaternary vascular arches; the venous circuit provided by: the venous plexus from which branches cross the muscular, to later form the subserous venous network, the jejunal and ileal veins, collected by the superior mesenteric vein as well as the lymphatic circuit.

Lymphatic circulation, at the level of the small intestine, is initiated from the level of the central cilia of the villi, which reach the lamina propria where they form the mucous lymphatic network. From here, the lymphatic vessels cross the tunics of the intestinal wall, successively building submucosal, intramuscular and subserous lymphatic networks at each level. Thus, the lymphatic vessels continue to the mesenteric border of the small intestine, from where the cilia arise, which cross the lymph nodes located between the sheets of the mesentery, subsequently draining into the upper mesenteric nodes, the intestinal trunks, and then into the Pecquet cistern.

 

 

Energy flow along the Small Intestine meridian

It is associated with the Taiyang energy (the greater Yang) and the fire element, starting at the side of the little finger, follows the outer edge of the hand, forearm and elbow, then the shoulder joint and crossing the shoulder blade, crosses the upper trapezius, reaches the cheek and returns ending in front of the ear. Internal connections: at the shoulder blade a branch enters the interior, at the clavicle, it enters the heart and descends to the small intestine, and the meridian continues to the inner and outer corners of the eyes.

Energetically, the Small Intestine Meridian is in opposition to the Gallbladder Meridian and controls the Stomach, Spleen, Pancreas, Kidney, and Pericardium meridians. As a result of being in opposition to the Gall Bladder meridian, the body obtains the advantage of optimal assimilation of lipids.

Blockages of this meridian lead to ear problems, tinnitus, temporomandibular joint pain, digestive difficulties (nutrient absorption problems, Crohn's disease, diarrhea), abdominal pain and bloating.

 

Energy flow along the heart meridian.

 Energy flow along the spleen meridian

 

 

It is associated with Shaoyin energy (lesser Yin) and the fire element, starting under the arm, extending up the hand through the elbow, and ending at the thumb (on both sides of the body-left and right), figure 61. Internal links: connection with the heart, spreads over the heart system, a descending branch: passes through the diaphragm, connects with the small intestine, and the ascending branch: passes by the esophagus and connects with the eye system. There is also a direct connection: it goes up to the lungs, then descends and exits at the HT1 (Highest Spring) point.

Energetically, the Heart Meridian is in opposition to the Liver meridian and controls the Stomach, Large Intestine, and Bladder meridians. As a result of being in opposition to the Liver Meridian, the body optimizes primary energy consumption.

Blockages of this meridian lead to headaches and facial pain, dry mouth and dizziness, heart palpitations and chest pain, hand pain, tingling and numbness, weak wrist, carpal tunnel syndrome, back pain near the chest, swollen ankles and varicose veins.

The energetic connection between the Heart meridian and the characteristic internal organ - the heart - is made through point 1, respectively 2, and 3 of the heart meridian and the subclavian, axillary and humeral arteries, as well as the basilic, brachial and median elbow veins, according to the figure and the clip below.

 

 

This meridian is also connected energetically to the lymphatic system, whose important role is to collect the excess plasma fluid in the tissues, which passes from the blood capillaries into the intercellular spaces, and to drain these small "spaces" that exist between the cells so that they do not get overflowed. With the help of a complex network of channels that flow into the venous system, the excess fluid is returned and incorporated into the blood circulation, see the accompanying figure.

 

This is associated with the Taiyin energy (greater Yin) and the earth element, starting in the big toe, zig-zagging up both sides of the body and ending under the arm, see figure and clip below. Internal Connections: Goes in front of the Liver Meridian, passes through the abdomen and enters the spleen, then enters the stomach and continues to the root of the tongue. Another branch continues from the stomach to the heart. This meridian is of major importance because it is the connector for all other meridians in the body.

Energetically, the Spleen-Pancreas Meridian is in opposition to the Pericardium meridian and controls the Lung, Large Intestine, Small Intestine, and Urinary Bladder meridians. As a result of being in opposition to the Pericardium Meridian, blood circulation is normalized and blood purification mechanisms are improved. The Spleen-Pancreas meridian coordinates Yin energies. It is the innermost meridian and represents real support for the other meridians.

Blockages of this meridian lead to lymphatic congestion, dizziness, low appetite, distension, abdominal pain, problems in the pelvic area, or characteristic of women, pain in the knees and thighs, and fatigue in the hands or feet.

                   Energy flow along the Stomach meridian

 

 

It is associated with the Yangming energy (shining Yang) and the earth element, starting under the eyes, going down to the corner of the mouth, curving on the jaw, going up the temple to the forehead and then going down the neck and the whole length of the body to the second finger from the leg (both left and right side). Internal connections: from the mouth it passes along the lower part of the cheek, passes through the diaphragm, enters the stomach and connects with the spleen.

Energetically, the Stomach Meridian is in opposition to the Triple Heater Meridian and controls the Lung, Heart, Small Intestine, and Liver meridians. As a result of being in opposition to the Triple Heater Meridian, the body optimizes energy needs, coordinates hunger and thirst sensations and optimizes the movement/rest ratio. The Stomach meridian coordinates the assimilation of primary energy from food. The Stomach meridian frequently externalizes problems of the Spleen Pancreas meridian and certain manifestations felt in the stomach are only indirect consequences of problems of the Spleen Pancreas meridian.

Blockages of this meridian lead to headaches, pain in the jaw, sinuses, pelvis and thighs, swollen and stiff neck, problems with knees and leg pain, stomach, digestive and gastrointestinal problems such as gastritis, ulcer, hernia or hunger pangs.

The energetic connection between the Large Intestine meridian and the characteristic internal organ - the large intestine - is made through points LI 19, respectively LI 20 and the digestive system, according to the adjacent figure. This energetic connection makes it possible to explain the influence of the blockage of this meridian on intestinal pains, noises, intestinal swellings, irritable bowel syndrome, constipation, teething, sinuses, nose and throat problems.

Energy flow along the Large Intestine meridian.

 

.

It is associated with the Yangming energy (shining Yang) and the metal element, starting at the tip of the index finger, winding up the forearm and arm to the shoulder and then up the face to the root of the nose, the figure below. Internal connections: it connects to the lung near the chest, one branch goes down and connects with the large intestine, and another branch goes up around the mouth to the other side of the body.

Energetically, the Large Intestine Meridian is in opposition to the Bladder Meridian and controls the Spleen Pancreas, Liver, and Heart meridians. As a result of being in opposition to the Urinary Bladder Meridian, the body accelerates the elimination of residues and toxins. The large intestine meridian coordinates the Yang energies and has a major role in the analysis of food (taste, smell, tolerance, preferences, etc. Blockages of this meridian lead to intestinal pain, noises, intestinal swelling, irritable bowel syndrome, constipation, teething, sinuses, nose, throat, shoulders or hands problems, and weakness in the hands. In the clip below you can see the path of this meridian to the large intestine.

               

                  Energy flow along the Lung meridian.

 

It is associated with Jueyin energy (absolute Yin) and the wood element. The Lung Meridian starts from the inside, the Middle Energizer point (the Middle Energizer - which refers to the abdominal part between the diaphragm and navel and includes such Zang-Fu organs as the spleen, stomach). A branch descends to connect with the large intestine, turns up along the upper opening of the stomach, passes through the diaphragm, enters the lung, a branch ascends to the throat, then descends transversely and reaches the outside at point LU 1 and goes down to LU 11 as in the figure and video attached.

Energetically, the Lung Meridian is in opposition to the Kidney meridian and has control over the Gall Bladder, Stomach, Triple Heater, and Spleen Pancreas meridians. As a result of being in opposition to the Kidney meridian, the body accelerates the elimination of blood-soluble toxic substances and gases resulting from metabolism.

Blockages of this meridian lead to problems in the throat, pharynx and larynx; cough, shortness of breath, difficult breathing including bronchitis, asthma and emphysema; contracted diaphragm and constrictive chest; shoulder, elbow and wrist pain; diarrhoea, constipation, colic. In the figure and clip below you can see the route of this meridian.

                        Energy flow along the Liver meridian

 

It is associated with the Jueyin energy (absolute Yin) and the wood element, starting externally in the big toe, continuing to the pelvis and lower ribs and ending somewhere in the liver area. The inner connections are: around the stomach, it connects to the Gallbladder meridian, it branches into the coastal regions and hypochondria, a branch runs down the back of the neck, it connects with the eye system and meets the Governing Vessel (Governor) Meridian at the top of the head, and another branch enters the lungs and connects with the Lung Meridian.

Energetically, the Liver Meridian is in opposition to the Heart Meridian and controls the Large Intestine, Triple Heater, Stomach, and Pericardium meridians. As a result of being in energetic opposition to the Heart meridian, the body optimizes the consumption of primary energy.

Blockages of this meridian lead to eye irritation, lumps in the throat, arthritis, joint and muscle stiffness, back pain, rib pain, knee problems, uterine or prostate imbalances, psoriasis, dermatitis, eczema or other skin conditions. In the figure and the adjacent clip, you can see the route of this meridian as well as the circulation of the energy flow.

According to TCM, the 12 main meridians that cross the body are each associated with an internal organ and thus each meridian bears its name: lung, heart, pericardium, spleen, kidney, liver, small intestine, large intestine, gall bladder, urinary bladder, stomach, triple heater (San Jian). The triple heater is associated with three heaters: the upper one (associated with the rib cage and breathing), the middle one (associated with the upper area of ​​the back containing the stomach and the upper digestive system, which contains the duodenum, parts of the lymphatic system, pancreatic secretions, etc.) and the lower (associated with the lower area of ​​the back).

 Meridians are pairs of 2 energy circuits, non-physical, which cross in a certain logic the human body and the etheric field (one circuit is on the surface of the skin or tendons and muscles and one in-depth, which connects with various organs).

According to the direction of energy flow along these meridians, the meridians were named Yin meridians and Yang meridians, and each of these meridians was also associated with a primordial element: water, metal, earth, wood, and fire.

6 Yin meridians are identified, namely, Lung, Heart, Pericardium, Spleen, Kidney and Liver – the first 3 being meridians of the hands and the last 3 of the feet - and 6 Yang meridians: Large Intestine, Small Intestine, Triple Warmer, Stomach, Urinary Bladder and Gall Bladder – the first 3 being meridians of the hands and the last 3 of the feet. Yin meridians flow from the bottom up and are associated with the first 6 organs, listed above, which transform, store and distribute qi energy throughout the body, and Yang meridians flow in the opposite direction and deal with the elimination of waste and with body nourishment. Yin meridians, due to their nature, are associated with telluric energy (from the Earth) and start either from the tips of the toes or from the emergence points and end at the fingertips of the hands extended upwards, on the head or body.

The organs and meridians associated with Yin energy are affected especially in the case of long-term ailments and diseases, while the organs and meridians associated with Yang energy are affected especially in the early or acute phases of illness.

The eight extraordinary meridians (sometimes called curious or strange) are meridians that "flow deep" inside the body, act as reservoirs of qi energy and blood for the main meridians (filling and emptying them as needed), ensure the circulation of body energy (the essence) Jing around the body as well as the circulation of Wei Qi (defensive qi) energy to increase immunity and ensure connections between the 12 main meridians.

The eight extraordinary meridians help heal deep ailments such as: physical, mental or emotional. They are also used to treat issues related to ancestral connections, fertility, life purpose, chronic disease, asthma, digestion and more.

According to TCM, the eight extraordinary meridians are Ren: Conception Vessel; Du: Governing Vessel; Chong Mai: Penetrating Vessel; Weis: Linking Vessels (the connecting vessel); Yin Wei Mai - Yang Wei Mai; The Qiaos: Heel Vessels; Yin Qiao Mai; Yang Qiao Mai; Dai Mai: Belt Meridian.

Next, I will describe each main meridian, in their maximum operation order corroborated with circadian rhythm (the internal biological rhythm of an organism, lasting approximately 24 hours, unable to sense the alternation between day and night).

We also find information about the meridians of the human physical body, in the British Encyclopedia (2020) in the chapter "The role of qi and meridians", as follows: "An essential aspect of Traditional Chinese Medicine-TCM is the understanding of the body's qi (life force; literally, "vital breath"), which flows through the invisible meridians (channels) of the body. This energy network connects organs, tissues, veins, nerves, cells, atoms and consciousness itself. Generally, there are 12 major meridians, each of which connects to one of the 12 major organs in TCM theory. Meridians are also linked to a variety of phenomena, including circadian rhythms, seasons and planetary movements, to create additional invisible networks. In acupuncture, thin needles are inserted into specific points along the meridians. The needles stimulate the meridians and readjust the flow of qi energy to balance the body's yin and yang. Instead of needles, massage (acupuncture) can also be used to stimulate acupuncture points. Acupuncture is sometimes accompanied by moxibustion, the burning of small cones of a plant (usually Artemisia moxa) at acupuncture points. The meridian network can be used not only to relieve symptoms, they also have the ability, according to TCM, to change the consciousness of those receiving treatment."

                The Energy meridians at the level of the human physical body

At the level of the physical body, Traditional Chinese Medicine has identified a number of 12 main energy meridians and 8 extraordinary meridians. The following link shows a map of these meridians viewed from the front and back of the human body: Map of the meridians of the human body. The meridians are difficult to identify on such a scale, which is why I will present them in a form that is more accessible to everyone.
