Meridians

The concept of Ying and Yang is one of the foundations of Chinese Medicine. Everything in the universe is composed of these two characteristics, positive and negative, in the sense of better or worse, but as the two poles of power, none is better or worse than the other, they are simply complementary. The electrical current can not be given if there is only one pole, as in nature, all contain a percentage of Ying and a Yang. In the famous sign of the Tao can see a circle divided into two areas, one white and one black, white within a small circle within the black and white one black, meaning that in anything there is always its opposite.

Ying o YangThe human body is also divided into Yin and Yang, for men, front and back Yang Ying, for women the opposite. For both the lower and upper Ying Yang, right and left side Ying Yang. The man is Yang and the woman is Ying.

The meridians are so to speak, energy pathways. The means by which the body carries the energy, ie, “Chi.” It passes through the body upright and upside down, as if the meridian is Ying and Yang. Half of meridians are on the internal parts or earlier and the other half on the outer and later. The internal antero party are Ying and Yang postero are external. The meridians are double, one on each side of the body.
