Each Meridian is associated with an Element (Air, Fire, Earth, Metal, Water or Wood); with a sound, an emotion, a season, a time of day.
A Meridian is an energy pathway in our body through which life-energy flows; acupressure and acupuncture points are found along the Meridian pathways.
The Central Meridian is associated with brain function, to the intelligence in all the cells of our body, and our own internal wisdom; it’s about integration and the balance of energy in the entire body - mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually. And it’s about our own creative and nurturing and procreative powers.
The Central Meridian flows upward from the centre of the pubic bone up the front of the body in the centre and ends approximately just below the lower lip. When the energy becomes blocked from flowing freely through our Meridians, we can experience discomfort, pain, illness, emotional instability.
Because the Central Meridian flows upward, every time we unzip our jackets, we are drawing away from our body, virtually shutting off the Central Meridian. This impairs our physical energy leaving us tired and even impacts our brain functioning - we can become scattered and unable to focus or concentrate very well.
To fix this, every time we unzip our coats, simply take both hands and trace a line from our lower pelvis up the centre of our body and touch just below our lower lip, three times, following the blue line in the picture. This motion helps to reset the proper flow of the Central Meridian.
