Followers of Chinese Medicine believe that the human body is energized and animated by 14 primary energy channels called meridians.
Every one of these meridians is related to a certain set of systems and organs in your body as well as with certain types of emotions. Any malfunctioning, blockage, or weakening of a meridian in some way, which is not addressed promptly, can result in a physical or emotional problem. And if that issue still isn’t identified and taken care of at that stage, then it can lead to a full-on health issue or illness.
For most people unfamiliar with what Chinese medicine or holistic therapy is, this idea may seem a bit bizarre; therefore, this needs to be explained slowly and clearly.
The meridians in our body affect both our physical health and emotions. If they’re not working well or they are blocked, it can bring about not only physical health problems but emotional issues as well.
In improving our mood, we need to ask what specific energy channel it is most associated with? The answer to this is the Spleen Meridian.
