Definition of Terms

• Master Points: are the major gateways to enhance the flow of the channel.

• Quick Release Points: are coupled and master points that enable the channel to release.

Bridge Channel

The Muscle Energy Balancing Channel

Yin and Yang Qiao Mai

The Bridge Channel mainly balances the amount of chi used by each meridian and governs the body's energy reserves stored in the kidneys. This channel balances the yin and yang energy as well as extreme excesses or deficiencies, such as hypo- or hyper conditions of blood (hypertension, headaches), energy circulation (exhaustion) and blood sugar levels (hypoglycemia). Benefits the shoulder, hip and ankle joints, and regulates muscular activity. Controls the fluids, benefits the uroreproductive system and influences the eyes.

This channel also facilitates communication between upper and lower body, connecting the head and the heart, helping to ground the energy. This channel is traditionally associated with courage and bravery/ aggressiveness, hypertension/ fatigue, depression, lower back aches, the circulation of the life force and regulation of our muscle activity.
