Crystal Healing With Acupuncture Meridians

If you are familiar with Chinese healing modalities, then you will know that acupuncture is a very popular form of creating balance in the body. Acupuncture, Feng Shui, Chinese Herbal Medicine and Qigong all have the same principles of balancing out the 5 Elements (water, wood, fire, earth, metal) within the body. 

Acupuncture specifically uses meridian points related to each of the organs, and places small needles on those points to create more Qi (chi/energy) flow in the body. Disease and pain can always be traced back to a certain imbalanced element, or elements, in the body. 

• The Water element is represented in the Kidney, Bladder, the Ears and Bone. It is related to the emotion of fear.

• The Wood element is represented in the Liver, Gall Bladder, Eyes and Tendons. It is related to the emotion of angry.

• The Fire element is represented in the Heart, Small Intestine, Tongue and Blood Vessels. It is related to the emotion of panic/anxiety.

• The Earth element is represented in the Stomach, Spleen, Mouth and Muscles. It is related the emotion of worry.

• The Metal element is represented in the Lung, Large Intestine, Nose, Skin and Hair. It is related to the emotion of grief.

Experiencing any of these emotions in their raw form, persistently, can throw an element off balance. If left imbalanced, it will start to affect the other elements over time creating emotional, spiritual, and physical ailments. 

 So how can you use crystals to create more balance in the body and emotions?

By placing crystals on some of the same meridian points as an acupuncturist would, you can start to achieve balance. As with any modality, it takes a few treatments to create a shift and allow more positive flow in the body. Let's go over a few crystals now in relation to the elements.
