The season of Spring is still with us in the Northern Hemisphere. Associated with Spring within the 5 Elements is the Liver being the Yin Organ and the Gallbladder the paired yang organ. They are closely related and it is often difficult to separate their functions and disharmonies. The Liver is known as the General and the Gallbladder being its chief- advisor implements the Liver’s plan and responsible for its execution.
The Gallbladder meridian in action
The gallbladder provides ‘qi’ to the tendons and sinews to ensure their correct movement, flexibility and control.
Imagine yourself wearing a green military uniform and marching briskly across a drill ground. The gallbladder meridian start from the outer canthus of the eye and runs from the side of the head down, across your shoulders like the epaulettes on a uniform and then down the outside of your body and along the outside of your legs like the stripes on your uniform pants. You exercise simultaneously the liver meridian.
