How emotions affect the meridian system

In acupuncture theory there are sayings about the damaging effects of emotions:

Too much anger injures the Liver


Too much fear injures the Kidneys

Too much sadness injures the Lungs

Too much thinking/worrying injures the Spleen

Too much joy/excitement injures the Heart


Too much emotion injures the Heart

Keep in mind that in the context of acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine the names of the organs when capitalized are not the same as the organs we know from western anatomy. Chinese "Kidneys" e.g. is the adrenals and endocrine system, "Bladder" is the kidneys and urinal system, "Spleen" is the energy system located throughout the body, "Liver" is partly the liver but also something throughout the body, "Lungs" is not only lungs but also skin.

These injuries also have an effect in the other direction: an injured Liver causes anger and injured Kidneys cause fear, etc.

HERE IS A SHIATSU DEMONSTRATION VIDEO SHOWING SOME OF WHAT WE DO!

Moving from winter towards spring. As the sun rises higher in the sky, the light is changing. We feel spring is about to happen. It's a time of renewal, and sometimes stagnation and frustration. Get your chi flowing and get your body ready for the spring season. Acupressure, and shiatsu is a relaxing massage done through clothing and based in chinese medicine. It is great for all types of injuries as well as a wellness treatment.

Harmony and Health

Fall is on the way and it is a time of changes to our health and our inner life. Universal energy is turning toward inward, yin and contemplation. It's also a very busy season for most. These are often in conflict. Try Shiatsu massage as a way to balance this and bring more fusion and harmony to the busy fall season.
