The hours of 1 to 3 am is the dream time, the time for a deeper vision of our life and purpose. For many a college student this is the term paper hour. The parties have finally ended; only the die-hards are still at it. The procrastinators facing imminent deadlines finally have to crank out those last ten pages of content and crunch that last bit of data to present a complete project or paper. The quiet of this time serves to support this most important task.

The Liver channel of Foot Jue Yin begins in the big toe and ends in the torso just below the breast. It has been characterized in the classics as the general in charge of the troops, responsible for their conduct. Its primary range of functions is in planning and storage, and it is responsible for myriad functions in body, heartmind, and spirit.

The liver has long been known as the organ in charge of detoxification. The liver clears toxic matter from the body; an overabundance of intoxicants can damage the liver. The classic Chinese texts correlate the Liver network to the eyes, and indeed we find that various liver conditions such as jaundice present symptoms in the eyes. Tears produced when crying have been found to clear the body of toxins, making crying a vital way for the Liver to detoxify the body.

The Liver is directly involved with masculine potency, as impotence is often a result of fatigue and stress on the Liver. Restoring Liver function plays a vital role in maintaining virility for men.

Psychological, Emotional

Moving beyond the physical level of functioning into the levels of the psychological and emotional realms, we see Liver functioning as the visionary planner. As we mentioned above, the eyes are said to be the sprout
