Heart Meridian

Heart Meridian:

Order: 
Taiji: Yin 
Element: Fire 
Emotion: Joy 
Sensory organ: tongue 
Tissue: Blood 
Links: Small finger 
Function: Adaptation & Control

The heart meridian controls compassion and all other feelings/emotions. As with everything else, a balance should be sought here between "cheering high above the sky" and "saddened to death". In the case of the heart meridian, this balance requires careful treatment between the living conditions and the circulatory functions via hormonal control.

Music: The music corresponds to the energy of the heart meridian and makes it easier to work with these meridians. The energy flows unhindered - blockages are released.

Jitsu/surplus: An excess of energy is manifested here by nervous tensions/symptoms. This can be felt through tension of the chest muscles, tension of the nerves - caused by anxiety and worries. In addition, you can also find a nervous stuttering, a throat without a reason, palpitations and sweaty hands.

Kyo/deficiency: A lack of energy is manifested by nervous exhaustion. Calm and calmness are missing, the nervous tension prevents relaxation. This leads to disturbances of the circulation regulation with sweaty hands and cardiac arrhythmias with stumbles up to pronounced arhythmia. Spiritual austerity is impossible, which leads to shyness and despondency.

General: Meridians (Traditional Chinese Medicine) are channels in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) where the life energy (Qi) flows. Each meridian is assigned to an organ or organ system. Acupuncture points are located on the meridians. Various meridian therapies are designed to help patients stay or become healthy. According to the TCM, health is associated with a free and sufficient flow of Qi in the meridians. If, for example, too little Qi flows, harmful Qi could enter the canal and damage the associated organ. (quoted from Wikipedia)
