The Movement Of Qi And Its Association With Sleep Cycle

More often than not, we are told to swallow some pills if there is something wrong in our bodies, but that does not necessarily fix it; as there may be a deeper, more psychological issue that is manifested into the physical ills we have.

Traditional Chinese Medicine And Qi

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) says that your body runs on a clock with energy highways or meridians called ‘Qi’, which also run everywhere on Earth. The Qi in our bodies transport and keep vitals such as, blood, adrenaline, and other fluids in constant circulation, including carrying emotional elements.

So, when your body is well, it means that your body’s Qi is flowing smoothly, but when you are sick or ill, it means that your Qi is being blocked in some parts of your body or is low in circulation overall.1

The Movement Of Qi

Qi is said to move every two hours, stopping at different parts of the body each time, till the organ reaches its optimum level, and then it goes to the next stop. However, when one organ reaches its peak, an organ or body part in the opposite side of the body reaches the lowest level, to balance the act.

The Transfer Of Energy – Yin and Yang

Likewise, when ‘Qi’ passes through, what takes place during those two hours is, Yin – getting energy and Yang – releasing energy. Yes, this is one of the many meanings of Yin-Yang, that black and white circular symbol you so often see.

As ‘Yin’ and ‘Yang’ take place, they carry the natural elements (Earth, Fire, Wood, Metal and Water) throughout the body, each of which hold certain emotions and energies. They are:

  • Earth is known to balance giving and receiving, including emotions of sympathy and empathy.
  • Metal carries loss, sadness and grief.
  • Water holds anxiety and fear.
  • Wood possesses resentment, jealousy, anger, stress and frustration.
  • Fire has love, happiness and hatred.

Qi And Our Body Clock When We Are Asleep

Qi repairs and re-energizes us when we are asleep, based on the various situations we face when we are awake.

So just like a train moving around our bodies, here are the organs and times at which our Qi is moving through, along with their meanings.

The key is to interpret and see what these signs mean, try to get to the root of the issue and smoothen the Qi again, beyond just popping a pill to fix everything.
