What is Meridian Healing?
Meridian Healing is one of the most effective self-healing management skills. These meridian exercises, qigong and meditation used in Meridian Therapy have a low risk of side effects and are effective, inexpensive and easily learned and used.
Health is best maintained on a daily basis. In order to do this, one must have an intimate understanding of basic principles of how health is maintained in the body. The first principle we must understand is our innate healing power.
During this 14-episode video series, meridian therapy expert Chungsuk will lead you on an exploration of the 12 main energy body meridians, starting with the Lung Meridian. Other major meridians include the Large and Small Intestine Meridians, Kidney Meridian and Heart Meridian.
Along the way, you will learn self-care exercises, like meridian massages, that you can use to keep your meridian channels clear and healthy. When practiced regularly, meridian exercises offer a holistic approach to preventative healthcare that is effective, easy and inexpensive.
What Are Meridians and Why Do They Matter?
Body meridians are energy channels within the body that circulate Qi, the vital energy that is the true essence of every creation in the cosmos. Qi is the bridge linking body and mind; it is the essential medium of life, moving and flowing freely.
Meridians and the acupressure points along them are an invisible network of life energy, pathways through which Qi energy travels the body. It is easy to understand the system of meridians points and acupressure points if you imagine the body as representing land. The meridians would be the main roads while the acupressure points are the bus stops. There are twelve main meridians, and 365 primary acupressure points in the human body. From the perspective of Eastern Medicine, disease is created because the flow of Qi that travels through meridians and acupressure points is blocked and imbalanced. Therefore, the goal of meridian exercise is to open the passageways so Qi can flow freely.
