Effects of Taijiquan on the meridians
- What are meridians
- In traditional Chinese medicine, meridians are defined as pathways that run through the entire body
Within you flows the life energy called qi. Along the meridians are also the acupuncture points through which you can influence the Qi.
- Task of the meridians
- Via the meridians the life energy Qi flows through the body. The Qi supplies all organs, sensory organs and tissues with energy, nourishes and warms them.
- Meridians connect the organs with each other. In addition, the meridians connect the inside with the outside, the top with the bottom and the left with the right of the body.
- The meridians counteract disease-triggering factors that pressurize the body from the outside. According to Chinese medicine, wind, cold, moisture, heat, fire and dryness are important causes of illness. The meridians have the task of absorbing these disturbing factors, eliminating them and preventing a deeper penetration into the body.
- The meridians are supposed to indicate symptoms and signs of disease. Problems of internal organs manifest themselves in disturbances of the flow of Qi.
- The KCM/TCM uses the meridians to harmonize the energy flow and to achieve an undisturbed flow of Qi through the body.
