Through January this year, I've focused our Thursday remote group sessions on the Spleen Meridian. It's been fascinating and opened up a wonderful new way of exploring how our physical and energy bodies work together, combining our modern understanding through microscopic study with ancient wisdom gathered from thousands of years of observation.
So it gave me the idea of going through, a month at a time, the cycle of the 12 main meridians, as one flows naturally into another: Spleen, Heart, Small Intestine, Bladder, Kidney, Pericardeum, Triple Burner, Gall Bladder, Liver, Lung, Large Intestine, Stomach, and back to Spleen. Somewhere along the line we'll fit in two more channels which lie along our centre line, the Governing Vessel and Conception Vessel.

| We'll be going a month at a time rather than through the course of a day, but this is the cycle of how one meridian flows into another |
I love the idea that our health is like a harmonious landscape, with all its elements balanced, connected and with life force energy flowing freely through them.

| Our human health depends on the health of all life |
For our next Thursday session on 31st January, and for all the February sessions, my focus will be the Heart, its meridian and all the heart's many connections, I hope you can join me on what will surely be an amazing journey.
