System of meridians. The meridians are the equivalent of our blood vessels but instead of transporting blood this system transports chi or life energy. Sickness can occur when there is blockage in the meridians and the chi no longer can flow freely or when the yin and yang balance of the chi is disturbed. There are two system of channels or meridians, namely primary and secondary meridians. Primary meridians pass through internal organs but secondary do not. There are twelve pairs of primary meridians with chi flowing in continuous circulation through the following organs: lungs, colon, stomach, spleen, heart, intestine, urinary, bladder, kidneys, pericardium, triple warmer, gall bladder and liver. The primary meridians are named by organ they are connected to that is lung meridian, heart meridian etc. With purely a health emphasis tai chi classes have become popular in hospitals, clinics and community.
