In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) a meridian is described as an energy pathway that runs throughout the body. They are highways for Qi or life force energy. An acupuncturist helps to keep the meridians and associated organs in balance.
There are 12 meridians:
- Heart
- Lungs
- Stomach
- Kidneys
- Large intestine
- Small intestine
- Liver
- Bladder
- Gallbladder
- Spleen
- Pericardium
- Triple-Burner/ Triple Warmer
Triple Warmer is the meridian in charge of survival: fight, flight, freeze response. Donna Eden, author of the book Energy Medicine, suggests that Triple Warmer impacts the immune system and your ability to manage stress.
Smoothing Triple Warmer is an exercise to quickly reduce stress and overwhelm and renew your energy.
- Start with your fingertips at your temples;
- Take a deep breath and release;
- On your next inhale, drag your fingers up and around your ears;
- On your exhale, bring your fingers down your neck to your shoulders;
- Press your fingers into your shoulders and then, when ready, drag your fingers down to the middle of your chest over the heart area.
- Repeat several times.
