A Primer to Understand Meridian Tracing
by Karen L. Semmelman, EEM-Advanced Practitioner, JD, AAML(03-12)
Last week general information about Meridians, our energetic bloodstream, was presented. This week learn the basic information to understand concepts associated with tracing the 14 meridians. This column acts as a reference that will be beneficial to review as you learn to trace each new meridian. I trace all of my meridians each morning in less than 1 minute. It takes about 3 months of steady practice to become proficient, but the effort is well worth it. My energy is more resilient, balanced and my perspective on life so positive—which I attribute to EEM.
Organs. Ten meridians have a defined pathway directly to the organ for which it is named. For example, heart meridian has an energetic link to the heart and thus impacts the circulatory and nervous systems. The meridians bring vitality and balance, adjust your metabolism and determine the speed of cellular change—all of which is essential to maintain health.
Yin and Yang. Each meridian is either a Yin meridian or a Yang meridian, with opposing yet complimentary forces. This duality reflects the fundamental essence of nature, life and energy. The meridians have paired partners, one being Yin and the other being Yang. For example the heart is a Yin meridian and its partner, Small Intestine, is the Yang meridian. Together they create a powerful rhythm.

Yin meridians are Central, Kidney, Liver, Heart, Circulation-sex, Spleen and Lung. Yang tends to have more “masculine qualities”, is assertive, is directed outward toward the world, tend to be hollow organs, and are more expressive. Yang meridians are Governing, Bladder, Gallbladder, Small Intestine, Triple Warmer, Stomach, and Large Intestine.
Low & High Tides. Each meridian has a high tide, meaning the time of day it is at its peak performance. Its energy is maximized. 12 hours later, it will be at its low tide, meaning that is it most susceptible. For example, Heart Meridian high tide is 11AM- 1PM and its low tide is 11 PM to 1 AM. Did you know that most heart attacks occur during the low tide? Additionally, each meridian has a relationship with its polar opposite in time. At Heart’s low tide 11 PM to 1 AM, Gallbladder meridian is at high tide.
Meridian Flow Wheel of Time. Chinese Traditional Medicine has developed a 24 hour cycle Flow Wheel, in which each meridian is given its prime time and in tracing meridians we will always begin and end with Central and Governing meridians, and then begin our tracing with the meridian at high tide at the time of day we begin tracing the meridians. For example, if it is 12:20 PM, we will begin tracing with Heart Meridian, then follow to Small Intestine whose high tide is 1 PM to 3 PM, then trace Bladder, whose high tide is 3 PM to 5 PM and so forth until we have traced all meridians and returned again to trace Heart—where we started.
Affirmation. EEM has developed affirmations for each Meridian. For example the affirmation for Heart Meridian is “I deeply and completely love and accept myself”. Since matter follows energy, stating the affirmation literally begins to shift your view of yourself!
Beginning and Ending Points on the Body. Each meridian has a point on the body where it begins and a point where it ends. For example, heart meridian begins under the deepest recess of your arm pit and ends at the medial edge of the nail of your little finger. It is defined and easy to find.
Broad sweep with Palms of Hands. Remembering that the electromagnetic pull of our hands influences our energy, by using the palm of the hand over the meridian pathway, energy will jump to meet your hands. Thus you don’t have to be perfectly precise with the exact location……..
