2.3. Yin and Yang in the Energy Meridians of the Human Body
In our body Yin and Yang are manifested as activity and rest, as joy and sorrow, as cheerfulness and fatigue. When the two forces in the body are in balance, the Life Energy flows smoothly and gives us health, happiness and success. When one of the two forces predominates in our body, then the force of the Life Energy decreases until we restore balance, or until Yin and Yang balance each other, which may cause a painful state in our bodies. In the process of metabolism, which takes place in our body, Yin and Yang are manifested as oxidizing or reducing reactions, (p.61) catabolism (decomposition of substances and nourishment of cells) and anabolism (synthesis of substances and tissue building), detoxification. and excretion, respiration and exhalation, alkalizing and acid-forming processes that maintain the vital pH balance in the blood and heart, and so on. (p.44,52,70,93,191)
The Yin and Yang energies in our body flow through strictly defined meridians and energy channels controlled by the various organs. The meridians along which the rising Yang energy circulates are distributed mainly on the surface of the back of our body, and those controlled by the descending Yin energy are located mainly on the front side. Each organ in the human body has its own vibration and is charged with Yin or Yang energy, depending on the frequency. (p.20,21,94)
The energy meridians of our body, which are subject of the healing practice of Traditional Chinese Medicine, are presented schematically on the following table:
Fig.4: THE ENERGY MERIDIANS IN THE HUMAN ORGANISM
1— Posterior governing meridian of Yang energy
2— Anterior penetrating meridian of Yin Energy
3— Yin-Meridian of the Lungs
4— Yang-meridian of the Colon
5— Yin-Meridian of the Pericardium
6— Yang Meridian of the Triple Heater
7— Yin-Meridian of the Heart
8— Yang-Meridian of the Small Intestines
9— Yin-Meridian of the Spleen
10— Yang-Meridian of the Stomach
11— Yin-Meridian of the Liver
12— Yang-Meridian of the Gallbladder
13— Yin-Meridian of the the Kidneys
14— Yang-Meridian of the Bladder
The five organs that store the essential, potential and building Yin energy in our body are: Kidneys, Liver, Spleen, Heart, Lungs. Their corresponding organs, which control the constructive, realizing and active Yang energy, are: Bladder, Gallbladder, Stomach, Small intestine, Colon.
The main ascending Yang-energy of the Earth flows through the Posterior governing meridian (1), and the nourishing descending Yin-energy of the Sun passes through the Anterior penetrating meridian (2). (Page 20,21,24)
The Earth constantly rotates around its axis and around the Sun, driven by its own and the Sun's Life energies. The energy that flows through our bodies has its own rhythm, resonating with that of the globe. Important for the Life Energy in our body are terrestrial and planetary cycles and impacts such as: change of night to day, seasons, lunar cycles, which have a gravitational effect on liquids. Solar cycles determine the intensity of the influencing, giving and penetrating solar energy, etc. .
Rhythm and cyclicity maintain the balance and equilibrium between the manifested forces of Yin and Yang energies in Nature. (p.20,21,93)
Every two hours, our bodies consciously perform certain physiological processes, forcing us to synchronize with the circadian rhythm of the cycle changing the day with night. In this regard, melatonin, a derivative of serotonin, the hormone of youth, is a key mechanism in the biological clock that maintains our healthy balance. (p.31,69,111)
