Meridians 10-12

And now for the next 3  Meridians. Just a reminder that imbalances in the Meridian system may cause pain, numbness, heat or cold issues and illness. This can be the result of an injury along the Meridian line, overuse of a limb or muscles along the Meridian line, or an organ  injury or weakness  along the Meridian line. Notice how the area of the Meridian Lines are described-can you see a relation between a nagging pain and a recurring illness you may be having? This can be the result of the Meridians being blocked for a time-Shiatsu or acupressure can assist in the balancing of the energies there.
