In Chinese Medicine, the balance in between Yin and organs is considered an active constant balance of the system. By pressing different pressure points, we can activate different organs and their re-activation in their function. Yin usually represents everything about the world that is dark, passive, hidden, receptive, cool, soft and feminine. Yang represents everything about the world that is illuminated, evident, active, aggressive, controlling, hot, hard, and masculine.
Our energy itself is composed of matter, which is nothing more than energy condensed to a slow vibration made from carbon, nitrogen, oxygen. We humans can control our own energy through different ways. Energy has no absolute language, only feelings, meaning, our emotion and our responses. Each of our organs is encased within the largest organ, sending messages to our brain. Energy works in different ways that we can see, vibrate, feel, emotional and more.
Grounding is one of the most important ways to control energy. Anyone new to energy needs to learn that very basic of grounding. It is important because it helps you to stabilize our energy body, which inevitably stabilizes our emotions and focuses our thoughts. Energy is a measurement of the ability of something to do work. If our energy is disturbed, that is the flow of forces that are called channels in the body, also called meridians.
We have six principle meridians:
1. TAI YANG which is at the temporal one sided or migraine, headaches, eye issues, pain swelling, redness toothache, facial paralysis.
2. YANG MING associated with high fever, sweeting, extreme thirst, flushed face and chest.
3. SHAO YANG that triggers gall bladder and stomach.
4. TAI YIN abdominal distension, vomiting, anorexia and diarrhea.
5. SHAO YIN aversion to cold, spiritual fatigue, cold limbs, diarrhea, stool containing undigested food, nausea, insomnia, dry mouth and throat yellow and scanty urine.
6. JUE YIN cold limbs, low body temperature and aversion to cold, irritability, feverish sensation, thirst and dark yellow urine.
Every organ and major region in the body needs energy in order to function. These meridians act as reservoirs of QI in the blood, connecting, and maintaining good health. The meridian system of the human body is a delicate, yet intricate web of interconnecting energy lines. Once a person masters and understanding of this meridian system they will know the secrets of the flow of QI energy in the body.
What is energy?
Energy is a life of energy that circulates throughout the universe and within each individual organism. Energy manifests itself in different levels of density. These levels are called depths. Breathing is the basic of the life energy. It enables us to unload accumulated stress and stagnant energy via exhalation, which helps us to revived abundance of fresh air and purify energy. When the life of energy moves through us without obstruction, we are in perfect harmony. Obstructions can lead to physical, mental and emotional disharmony, which are created by attitudes.
Body functions are attributed mainly to the five that are considered the solid organs: Heart, Lung, Liver, and Kidney. Our understanding of their functions was derived from external observation rather than anatomical study and bears little relaxation to standard Western understanding. Each solid organ has an associated hollow organ or bowel to which meridians are linked.
Yin and Yang
The concepts of the Yin and Yang are central to Chinese philosophy. Yin and Yang are the two great powers that alternate the aspects of the creative force of the central energy and all things. Yin is cold, dim heavy with a downward motion, passive and inhibiting. Certain organs are ruled by Yin, which accommodates our body into distress. Yang is warm, bright, light moving upward, active, or exciting.
The underlying premise is that the human body is an integrated whole. All its organs and tissues are organically connected and can be divided into two opposite aspects, namely Yin and Yang. The upper part of the body is Yang and the lower part is Yin, exterior Yang and interior Yin. The outside part of the arms and legs is Yang and the inner sides of the arms and legs are Yin. The Heart is predominantly Yin, but it is in the upper half of the body, so it is rather more Yang. Without nutrient substances, there would be no sustenance for functional activity. The production of different nutrients substances that are supposed to be consumed by the energy that we produce, will help restore and protect our organs from invasion of different diseases. Diseases occurs when Yin and Yang becomes excessive or deficient.
These two energy forces also adapt and blend to our changing needs in what the Chinese refers to as mutual restraint. As well as the external factors, this force of energy is blame of that if we get ill our energy id is disharmony.
Grounding is one of the most important ways to control energy.
What is Qi?
Qi is often understood in the West as our inner energy level that actually comes in a wide variety of types. Its main characteristic is motion, which is the activity of life. The more you move your energy, the better it is for the organs to be healthy. All vital activities of the human body are explained by changes and movements of Qi. Qi, is an essence and a mixture of energy derived from the food we eat and the air we breathe. By comparing Qi and blood, Qi tends to be more Yang in nature while blood more Yin.
The energy that flows through each of our organs in control by Qi, Yin and Yang which its functions are to maintain the inner control of the central energy so our organs will not suffer. When these energies are distortion, blood will not be able to flow easily and it will cause a deficiency in our system.
Energy and Emotions
Our body reacts naturally to different stimulus, whether is internal or external. This process of different stimulus has reactions to different organs which help to carry out different patterns of energy flows. Our nervous system is the one that controls flow of emotions that leads to energy. When our emotions are too strong, or negative they can have a damaging effect on our organs. According to Ancient Chinese Medicine, smiling, and joy will help this emotions to evolve and get better each day of our lives.
Healthy emotions like smiling, joy, happiness can control our mind and lead us to stimulate the function of certain organs. Lack of concentration, insomnia, nervousness will promote stress and lack of energy. We are energy and we have to control it.
Storing Energy in the Body
Our liver is in charge of storing and regulating the circulation of our energy. If we abuse this organ with aggressiveness we are going to be having trouble excreting our toxins and deliberating frustration towards ourselves. Our stomach is associated with nostalgia, obsession and reflection. Our stomach promotes nutrition to our system, while the spleen is part of our lymphatic system. Human beings are made of living cells, and when we look into each cell we see a membrane which is full of energy running through our vital organs. A healthy state of the body leads to a peaceful mind, since mind and body are an invisible entity in our Chinese Medicine.
