Reflections after the “Twelve-Meridian Balances” Workshop

Li Chi Wei (Beijing)

I felt so contented, after graduating from the “Twelve-Meridian Balances” workshop which I had been waiting for so long to attend.

It has been more than two years since my first class in the “Meridian Balances” workshop series. I like it so much that I have participated in most of the classes twice. A smile naturally emerged from my heart during this class when I recalled my first experiences in doing Qinesiology balances. Yep! My “harvests” were not limited to improvements in physical health, relations, senses, speech and actions, conscious awareness and other outward expressions, but also inward reflections as well as understandings, approval, love and appreciation of Life. In my daily life experiences, the frequent and natural feelings of being just in the right time in the right place brought me fascinations and joy.

The balances of these Twelve Meridians seemed to have become a connecting thread uniting all the past balances I did, operationalising them in my three levels of existence according to traditional Chinese medicines, i.e. Jing (matter), Qi (energy) and Shen (information). I just felt myself flowing in the balances. Everything had become crystal clear. I had marked advances in my physical sensations and consciousness, emotional awareness, thinking speed and clarity in my expressions. Old wounds and developmental blocks that were ignored at the time revealed themselves again in different exercises of meridian flow and acupoint awareness. I had the chance to “talk” with them and reconnected. My whole system became open, flowing but grounded and solid at the same time. The fascia massage exercises and physical games could help me reach a new equilibrium in an increasingly relaxed and assured way.

During the class, my long-time good friend and I shared between ourselves our respective progresses gained from Qinesiology balances. Both agreed that Qinesiology balances were grounded and operational: their contents detailed and concrete; their methods fun, objective and rigorous. I was so happy for her when she confirmed that she would learn deeper in a more systematic manner into Kinesiology in her quest to re-orientate her life career (as opposed to economic career).

“Flowing” and “Openness” were the two key words describing my gains during the class.

Flowing – Saw my pattern of never-ending service but refusal of love from others (or more accurately, refusal to see the love from others). My life was like a pool of “dead” water continuously irrigating but not replenishing. During fascia massages, as I felt multiple aching spots along the meridians, the feelings of regret, pity and sorry overwhelmed me. Therefore, I had made an important decision: to feel the flow of love, to accept the nourishments of destiny, and to help these flow and disperse.

Openness – In the balance of the Circulation Sex Meridian, I saw lots of my grievance and helplessness slowly quenching my “fire” in life and joy, carrying with me apathy toward my close relatives and even my life itself. Circulation Sex was the castle of the Heart, and on the gate were huge, multiple locks. Grief filled me with this picture in sight. My decision was: face my traumas while protecting my heart well; face love and nourishments while opening my heart wide, allowing joy, passion and happiness to return. I open up.

After coming home from the class, I had re-oriented and, in fact, enjoyed the relative inactivity for quite some time. Long time little stressors gradually subsided and I was relaxed much more. I could notice myself and make appropriate adjustments immediately.

My life was used to be bussing, but had become leisurely. It was not intentional deceleration, but rather deeper savouring of the finer details of life.

I was aware of my inadequacy instantly. It was not sensitivity, though. I knew how to talk to my body, and balance it along the way. I felt the workings of the meridian system, and was rebuilding my inner network.

Were I able to share in public at ease, that would even be better. It was a pity that the class was too short in time.

After the second day in class, my cold feet since the distant past warmed up. My inner core were emitting warmth. My blood flowed; my breath deepened. My whole body was light and warm; my spirit high. My sleep was better and my body recuperated. I used to still feel tired right after sleep, but no more.
Lower back pain used to stop me from lying flat on my back. The waist area was “shattered” in pain. After the third day of balance, no more pain and I could lie flat.
In the Shen level, I could see my deep issues which had haunted me for a long time without my being conscious of them. I understood myself at a new level.
My body and my heart had established communication channels and feedback mechanisms in synchrony. Both my body movements and thinking had become more agile and faster.
After the balances, I could feel my body and my heart being one again; with the former having more strength to support the latter to grow. My foundation was more solid.
Through the balances, I knew the workings of my meridian system in details; understood my body more clearly and the effects of emotions on my body and life.
