Welcome to Yū Meridian Therapy
Our discomforts, ailments, and diseases are directly related to our lifestyle choices and patterns of behaviour
At Yū Meridian clinic, we use an integrative approach to treat the cause and not merely the symptoms. We offer simple, effective, and practical solutions to introduce the body and mind to new and positive habits, with the aim of raising our level of health, restoring balance, and cultivating well-being.
Traditional Chinese and Japanese medicine offer an alternative paradigm, a different perspective on health. For thousands of years, practitioners have observed and studied how working with the meridian map can affect our health and well-being, giving birth to numerous practices of meridian therapy, including acupuncture, moxibustion, shiatsu, Do-in, macrobiotics, and many more.
The 5 Element Theory
‘Man patterns after Earth &
Earth patterns after Heaven’ - Lao Tsu
Describes 5 phases of transformation - wood, fire, earth, metal, and water. These five qualities of energy interact with each other in fixed patterns of unending cyclical change.
Observing naturally occurring phenomena, we can discern patterns throughout nature and ultimately within ourselves. Understanding the natural quality of each function allows us to evaluate energetic distortions within an individual, which parallel the condition of the various internal organs. Applying this system can help us identify excess and deficiency to restore health in the individual by redirecting their energy back to balance and harmony.
The Meridian System
“Each organ is responsible for a particular function and connected to the rest of the body through complex communication networks”
In our body, we have a whole bunch of organs neatly packed in our torso. Each organ is responsible for a particular function and connected to the rest of the body through complex communication networks. For example, our digestive system transforms food into energy, the heart pumps blood throughout the body via arteries, veins, and capillaries, or the nervous system, with its branches and nerve endings receiving impressions throughout the body. However, it is very clear that the body is inert without the life force to vivify and govern the matter.
This life force is called Prana, Qi, or Ki in ancient traditions of India, China, and Japan. It is distributed from the centre (Hara) throughout the body via the meridians (or nadis in Indian traditions), which are energetic pathways named after different internal organs, carrying out their designated functions. This network of meridians can be compared to an electrical grid through which electricity flows (or not). Similarly to a map, it guides the practitioner during treatment and movement programmes while the receiver is offered an opportunity to understand how various parts of his body are naturally designed to work together harmoniously.
