Rivers are flowing
Our body is magnificent. Not only does it have a physical body we can see and touch, we also have 9 energy systems that are very much part of human system as a whole. One of these energy systems is our energy transport system called the meridians. You can picture them as rivers of flowing energy that support your organs, your hormones, chemicals and subtler energies. Every organ has its own meridian. Next to that, our hormonal system has 2 meridians as well. The meridians have a physical and an emotional function. For instance, the stomach function is to start off the digestion of physical foods, while the emotional function is to start digest the impulses of the world that enter our system via your senses. The meridian starts underneath the eyes flows down to your jaw, flows next to your ears up and over your eyebrows, goes down between your eyes, follows your nose, touches the corners of your mouth and then moves down the front of your body. So its flow make sure that it can take in all the energy impulses via the senses in your face.
These energy pathways, like rivers, have twists and turns. Especially where they meet a joint or a nerve. And exactly on these points you find your ‘buttons’. These points can stimulate or calm down the flow of the meridian. So if you feel a cold coming up, you can push your immune buttons to avoid it or make it less impactful. And when someone ticks you off you can find your calming down buttons and give those a minute of your attention to lessen the grip of your reaction.
But not only the meridians have their nerve endings to touch. There are also neurolymphatic and neurovascular reflex points, which are nerve endings that stimulate lymph or blood to stimulate to flow to specific organs. These buttons help also to detox and strengthen your organs…and thereby your emotional responses as being part of the organs.
Overload or empty
When you keep your energies healthy by pushing your buttons, you make yourself able to handle emotional responses better! So when your mom is overprotective and hits your annoyed button, you can prevent that by pushing your self-trust and relaxed buttons. And when your bank calls and hits your worried button, you can prevent by pushing the calm and trust button. The buttons flush new fresh energy into the meridians and if they are well, the organs will be too. And in the end you are preventing the physical effect of bombarding your meridians with emotions. How does that work? When you get an overload of an emotion or you get one specific emotion all of the time: your meridians get affected and get blocked by too much energy or it becomes empty. Like a highway having a traffic jam lots of the time or roads that are not used and certain areas get isolated. And with enough shock or repetition, your physical body starts to be affected, with illness or vague complaints or injuries.
So when you are always angry or judgmental to self and others, your liver can (not necessarily) be affected. Funny example, that shows the other way around effect, is the crowd of men that go to a soccer game. They drink lots of alcohol and when the liver is so full it has no space for extra impulses from the outside, the men get angry too let go of the overload of energy. Hence, the riots and agressive behavior after a soccer game. The liver will resist more incoming and will start to become outgoing.
Every week I will give you a button to ‘push’ (and how) several times a day, so you will start to feel what this button does too your whole system (body, mind, emotions) and in the end make yourself a healthier happier human being. A Well-Being!
