Meridians, which can be tapped by modern technological methods, are the pathways along which the energy in your body flows. Along their channels, point can be identified which are electromagnetic in structure, surrounding the capillaries in your skin. Energy is believed to flow through your body in a complete circuit following these clearly defined meridians. If the flow of energy is restricted, or your circuits are operating on overload, balance has to be restored before your energy will flow fully again.
Life is loaded with energy, although it remains a mystery. Light is invisible unless it hits a solid mass and is reflected back to your eyes. Constant energy pours out of each of us, as well, channeled through our senses, speech, movement and especially our thought.
Wise teachers of ancient times have always referred to energy but in different terms. Indian called the higher energy "Nam" and the lower energy "Prana". Chinese tagged it "Tao" or "Chi". Greeks saw it as "Logos of the Music of the Spheres", Hippocrates referred to "Nature's Life Force", Wilhelm Reich called it "Orgone Energy" and Dr. Stone considered it "Electromagnetic Energy". Whatever it is labeled, most people agree that energy is the force that gives us life, providing personal connection between mind, body, spirit and emotions. Many orthodox practitioners are now combining the knowledge of oriental practitioners, surrounding the energy pathways in your body, with the more scientific western approach.
