Meridians & Five Elements

Acupuncture meridians are rivers of energy flowing just under the skin, mapped 5,000 years ago. Each organ has a time of peak prominence in the 24-hour diurnal cycle.

Cycle

💡 If someone wakes at 3-4 AM consistently, the Liver or Lungs are coming into or fading from prominence. Ask if those organs are "happy" and correct any imbalances.

Reflect

Which meridian clock time do you consistently feel energy dips or surges? What does that tell you about your flow?
