    In traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), the five elements (wood, fire, earth, metal, and water), function as the fundamental concepts understood in the Ying/Yang balance and relationship between different aspects of the human body, as well as the natural world.

    Tiger (Water): strength, instinct, and the ability to navigate the depths of the brain-stem.
    Tiger (Water): Associated with the Kidney and Bladder meridians, considered the water

    The Liver and Gallbladder meridians, associated with the Crane (wood), accepted to govern the smooth flow of Chi and blood, as well as the ability to make decisions and plans. The Gallbladder meridian is associated with decision-making, problem-solving, and the skills to take action. Together, the Liver and Gallbladder meridians in tandem, essential for maintaining balance, flexibility, and adaptability.

    The Heart and Small Intestine meridians, associated with the Dragon (fire), accepted to govern the circulation of blood, the regulation of emotions, and the processing of information. The Small Intestine meridian, associated with the transformation and absorption of nutrients, as well as the ability to discern and separate the pure from the impure. The Dragon archetype represents the skills to navigate change, embrace passion, and bring forth transformation.

    The Spleen and Stomach meridians, the Spleen meridian affixed to govern the transformation and transportation of nutrients, as well as the ability to feel grounded and centered. The Stomach meridian is associated with the intake and processing of food, as well as the ability to accept and adapt to changing circumstances. The Leopard archetype symbolizes strength, stability, and the capacity to maintain balance.

    The Lung and Large Intestine meridians, the Lung meridian responsible for the circulation of chi and the ability to let go of the old and embrace the new. The Large Intestine meridian is associated with the elimination of waste and the ability to discern and let go of what is no longer needed. The Snake archetype represents wisdom, intuition, and the capacity for deep understanding.

    The Kidney and Bladder meridians, the Kidney meridian, the root of all vital energy, governing growth, development, and the ability to navigate the depths of the non-conscious brain-stem operations of ruling the [brainstem\spinal-cord reflex-arc] with all the internal organs of the body. The Bladder meridian is associated with the elimination of waste, the regulation of fluids, and the ability to respond to the natural rhythms of the body. The Tiger archetype symbolizes strength, instinct, and the capacity to navigate the challenges of life.

    Organ targeted reflexology strongly manipulates specific locations on the feet prior to doing meditation. Organ manipulation in the feet, permits the person in meditation to consciously “feel” a specific organ of the body meridian. The opposing feet and organs affix with the concentration of awareness of inter-organ mediative diplomatic breathing.

    Organ-targeted reflexology involves the strong manipulation of specific reflex points on the feet prior to meditation, in order to optimally prepare the body and mind for the meditation practice. Before the meditation session, the reflexologist will identify and focus on the specific reflex points on the feet that correspond to the target organs associated with the selected animal archetype.

    Using firm pressure, massage, and manipulation techniques, the reflexologist will work these reflex points to stimulate and balance the energy flow (Chi) to the corresponding organs. This targeted reflexology work helps to clear blockages, release tension, and prepare the body’s systems for the upcoming meditation. Reflexology preparation helps to amplify the effects of the meditation. The feeling memory felt in both targeted feet, permits a focus of affixed breathing going from one foot to the other.

    Inhale, the conscious awareness of feelings felt in one foot affixed to the target spirit perception of the target organ. Exhale, the conscious awareness of feelings felt in the opposing foot affixed to the sister spirit perception of the other target organ. Hence, meditation begins by grasping one finger/emotion and feeling the pulse felt in that finger/emotion. Followed-up by breathing the spirit animal to the feelings felt in the opposing feet.

    The index finger affixed to the emotion of Fear. Fear tends to express itself as a one-sided perception of reality. The person walking in a dark forest might feel fear but not the forest itself. Hence the Liver/gallbladder meridians only located on the left foot. The other four major emotion meridian types, located on both feet. The liver and spleen are considered paired organs in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), which forms the foundation of reflexology.

    The liver and spleen are seen as having a complementary relationship, with the liver responsible for the smooth flow of qi (vital energy) and the spleen responsible for transforming and transporting nutrients. Imbalances in one organ can affect the other.

    By working on the spleen reflex point on the right foot alongside the liver reflex on the left foot, the reflexologist aims to promote balance and harmony between these two important organs. This combined approach is thought to be more effective than just focusing on one side. The liver and spleen are considered paired organs that need to be kept in balance.

    Kidneys and Adrenals, these two organs work closely together to regulate fluid balance, hormone production, and stress response. The adrenal glands produce important hormones like cortisol, aldosterone, and adrenaline, which significantly impact kidney function and overall fluid/electrolyte balance in the body. Both the kidneys and adrenal glands play central roles in the body’s overall stress response. The adrenals release hormones to help the body adapt to stressors, while the kidneys help regulate blood pressure and fluid balance.

    The adrenal glands are part of the sympathetic nervous system, which coordinates with the kidneys to maintain homeostasis during times of physical or emotional stress. The kidneys filter waste and excess fluids from the blood, while the adrenals help regulate the body’s use of minerals like sodium and potassium, which are key to kidney function. By addressing the kidneys and adrenals together, reflexologists aim to promote balanced hormone levels, improved stress resilience, and optimized filtration/elimination – all of which are essential for overall health and wellbeing.

    Traditional Chinese medicine views many health conditions, including diabetic eye complications, through the lens of the body’s energy meridians and imbalances. For diabetic retinopathy and other vision-related issues, traditional Chinese medicine often focuses on treating imbalances in the following meridians:

    The liver meridian is thought to be closely connected to eye health in traditional Chinese medicine. Imbalances in the liver meridian, believed to contribute to conditions like blurred vision, dry eyes, and retinopathy. The gallbladder meridian runs along the side of the body and is also associated with visual acuity and eye health. Blockages or imbalances in this meridian may manifest as eye issues.

    The kidney meridian, believed to be important for nourishing the eyes. Kidney deficiencies – linked to conditions like cataracts and night blindness. The spleen meridian is connected to the body’s ability to properly metabolize fluids. Imbalances here may contribute to diabetic eye edema and retinopathy.
