Meridians are channels through which energy flows throughout our body. The body contains 14 main energy meridians that contain a free flowing colors. Non Staver liquid. These meridian channels have been mapped and measured by modern technology. an acupuncturist will place the acupuncture needles along the meridian to improve the flow of energy or ci. Each meridian is related to and named after an organ or function such as lungs, kidneys, gallbladder, stomach, spleen, etc.
I have found that TMJ disorders directly affect six main energy meridians in the body as they travel in the vicinity of the jaw. The meridians directly affected our stomach. Small Intestine adrenal, gall bladder, large interest on and bladder. As you can see, a lot of these meridians relate to digestion. You may have experienced this when you have been stressed, your food does not digest properly or you just don't feel like eating. This is because when you are stressed, your jaw tightens and it affects the flow of energy, particularly the stomach meridian as it begins on the cheek area of the face.
It runs over the stomach and ends at the feet. massaging the acupressure points through one of my techniques called meridian massage assists in clearing the blockages that may be present in the body. This is where gentle stroking movements are applied along the meridians to get the energy running smoothly again. You can often feel blocks or soreness when doing this. I have included more information on the function of the Six Meridians and associated organs and glands in the resource section of this DVD and the DVD booklet. Let's get started with the healing session.
