Circulation Sex Constellation

Active Time:  7-9pm

Element: fire

Fundamental Principle: yin

Season: summer

Now that I have your attention :}, let’s dive into this week’s meridian, also called Pericardium Meridian. The Pericardium is the protective envelope of your heart and serves an important job of protecting the most vital muscle in your body. This meridian circulates the blood and works very closely with the heart, sending energy to the sexual organs as well as governing the mind and personal relationships. Disharmony in PC meridian can present as heart, blood and sexual organ dysfunctions. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the heart is believed to also store mental energy and many emotional or mental imbalances can be symptoms of upset to the PC meridian.

Pericardium is a yin meridian, most active between the hours of 7-9pm. Not surprisingly, PC is associated with the fire element. If you wish to trace this meridian, it’s easily done by starting with an open palm on the outside of your opposing nipple (sound racey enough?!) Travel up to your armpit and shoulder, down the inner arm to the inside of your elbow and then straight down the center of your wrist and off the middle finger. Do this on both sides of your body. An easy way to access the end point of the PC meridian is to tap on PC-9 on the inside nail bed of your middle finger (the side closest to your thumb).  I like including PC-9 in tapping algorithms for heart conditions, circulation issues, mental anguish, relationship problems, reproductive complications or sexual concerns. Consider tapping PC-9 to balance blood flow to your heart and sexual organs or whenever you desire a fiery boost!
