From a Western view, Liver (LV) acts as a chemical refinery responsible for metabolizing and distributing nutrients, removing dead cells & toxins, transforming other nutrients into glucose for energy to the cells. From a Traditional Chinese Medicine view, LV has more responsibilities including providing for a smooth flow of blood and energy to every cell in the body—thus named “The Commander of the Blood”; making certain there is a perpetual balance and flow between blood, energy and emotions, enabling for openness to new ideas and experiences. If blocked energy in LV, one will find it difficult to express and release emotions creating Dis-ease, which may manifest in: upper back tightness; blurry vision (LV controls the eyes); candida; chest tightness; eye disease; fungus; hypertension; low sperm count; menopause issues; irregular periods; or PMS. LV with Gallbladder govern muscles, tendons, ligaments and nails.
As a Reminder, view the August 9 and 16th Columns, since the basics of tracing are set forth.
Meridian Flow Wheel Time of day. LV meridian’s high tide is 1 AM to 3 AM. We always begin and end by tracing Central and Governing meridians before starting to trace the other meridians. If you begin tracing your meridians at 1 30 AM (you definitely have an energy imbalance), then begin with LV.
Reasons to Trace Alone in Addition to Tracing All Meridians. Although it is best to trace all your meridians as one continuous flow, you may want to trace LV if you have some of the symptoms listed in the opening paragraph above or if you experience thick toenails, toxicity or avoid wearing the color green.
Affirmation for this Meridian is “I am kind to myself”. Remembering that matter follows energy, stating a positive thought shifts the energy just by the intention-this is the metaphysical fabric of life! We are all part of that pure fabric of existence so reap its benefits.

Pathway of Meridian. Do both sides at the same time. Place fingers at the inside base of the big toe nail ( beside the 2nd toe); move hands up inside of the leg flaring out slightly by the hips; continue up the side of the rib cage and then to 1st rib under the breast in line with the nipple. That’s it. You just traced Liver meridian!!
Flushing or Tracing the Meridian Backwards. Remember that if there is too much energy in a meridian, you may want to trace it backwards and see if that makes you feel better. If experiencing pain or dis-ease in the area of a meridian, it is likely that removing the energy from the meridian will provide relief. If it does, then trace it backwards 3 times, but NEVER TRACE HEART BACKWARDS. If it seems there is not enough energy in your meridian then trace it forward 3 times. If you feel better, this is what was needed. Experience the impact of the energetic shifts. To flush a meridian, as if you are de-clogging a pipe, trace the meridian once backwards to loosen the sludge and then trace the meridian forward 3 times. Flushing really helps reset the meridian’s balance.
You are set. Keep this Column as a reminder of how to trace Liver while you learn the next 4 meridians over the next month!
