Are Your Meridians Balanced Quiz?
Are you feeling energised, inspired, motivated, creative and hopeful?
If no, then perhaps you are suffering from a meridian chi energy imbalance.
If you've read my article "Meridians – Energy Channels for Health & Vitality", then you know how important meridians are to determining your health.
Unlike Western medicine, TCM looks at specific patterns of Chi imbalance - disharmonies in the energy channels or the meridians. If a Chi imbalance in any of the meridians is left untreated, it will cause an internal imbalance. That's why it's so important to locate and correct these Chi imbalances before they translate into dis-ease.
The following quick quiz gives you the opportunity to determine if your meridians are balanced.
Since each meridian is associated with one of the five Elements (earth, fire, water, metal or wood), then an imbalance in one of the Elements will correspond to a meridian imbalance. Your answers to this short quiz gives you valuable information as to which meridian you need to work on to improve your wellbeing.
Earth – spleen & stomach meridians
* Easily worried and over-concerned
* Upset by change and tendency to become overwhelmed by detail
* Craving for sweet foods
