The Meridians
A basic theory of energy work is that the energy body contains channels and energy structures through which the life force flows. Different cultures feature different sets of centers for receiving, dispersing and directing the energies throughout the entire body. The flow of energies could be described as being like streams of light or vibrating pulses.
One of The most well known channels systems is the Meridian system. The meridians are used in acupuncture, chi gong , Reiki and traditional Chinese medicine and are considered the primary channels for the life force. These channels are not in the physical body but are in the aura. The centers and structures in the energy body may be thought of as metaphors to assist the Practitioner in mentally guiding the energy flow to do the needed work of balancing and repairing the energy body. I work intuitively with many of these channels but do not have the training or expertise to give details about the meridians.
