Human Energy system - 12 primary meridians

Although, no previous knowledge of energy system is necessary to turn regular energy into spiritual energy by meditation, as it is a natural process. The more you meditate, the better quality experiences you will have as a result of accumulation of spiritual energy and development of the subtle energy body. For those curious minds who want to know what happens and how, its helpful to know how energy travels in our body, generally. The information below and the photo have been taken from other websites to help understand the energy system.

Note the information in the previous blog titled 'Empty Vessel'. It mentions the union of the male and female energy within, the yin and yang classification of meridians willl help you understand how one body can have arousal without intercourse. Here I must mention that Guru Nanak laid emphasis on the feeling of uncounditional love that helps the body to feel arousal and thus cause magic. Without the feeling, the arousal is impossible and so Yoga or any other practice is reduced to mere exercise or ritual.

One who is filled with the Word of the Guru's Shabad enshrines love for the Lord.




























Level- Limb - Energetic Level - Organ Name - Element
EARTH Hand - Greater Yin - Lung Hand - Metal
Hand - Bright Yang - Large Intestine - Metal
Foot - Greater Yin - Spleen Foot - Earth
Foot - Bright Yang - Stomach - Earth
HEAVEN Hand - Lesser Yin - Heart - Fire
Hand - Greater Yang - Small Intestine - Fire
Foot - Lesser Yin - Kidney Water - Fire
HUMAN Hand - Absolute Yin - Pericardium Hand- Fire
Hand - Lesser Yang - Triple Heater - Fire
Foot - Absolute Yin - Liver Foot - Wood
Foot - Lesser Yang - Gallbladder - Wood


As we move from the exterior to deeper in the body, we move from Yang to Yin in the order of six energetic levels listed in the chart above: Greater Yang, Bright Yang, Lesser Yang, Greater Yin, Lesser Yin, and Absolute Yin.. When disease invades the body, it moves from the exterior levels to the interior levels as it becomes a deeper, more serious condition. The meridians that share an energetic level exist in Hand and Foot pairs, such as Lung and Spleen meridians, to form the Greater Yin level.

There are also Yin-Yang pairs of meridians which are represented by each horizontal row in the table. For instance, the Lung meridian is paired with the Large Intestine meridian. These Yin-Yang paired meridians have additional connecting meridians that strengthen the connections between these two meridians and their corresponding organs.
