Have you ever wondered that everything in nature follows a pattern? For example, most flowers will bloom in spring and wither away in winter. If we follow the natural laws and take advantage of these natural patterns, we can create an abundant life of everything. Same as our body, if we follow the natural cycle of our body to work and rest, we can take good care of this delicate engine called the body to give it maximum power. In order to understand the natural cycle of the body, let’s first talk about the meridian systems in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).

There are twelve main meridian channels in the body according to the TCM. A meridian channel is like a highway for the energy to pass through in the body. The meridian channels can be considered an energetic distribution network to spread energy effectively throughout the body. In other words, the meridian system of the human body is a delicate web of interconnecting energy lines. According to the TCM, illnesses are caused by energetic blockages in the body. Suppose a person understands how these meridian channels work and take advantage of the appropriate time to take care of their health. In that case, the energy or Qi can flow freely in the body and illnesses can be eliminated. Now I will talk about when these meridian channels are on duty throughout the day so you can design the best daily routine that makes you feel energetic and makes your day more productive.
