All About Ilchi Lee

Stretching from the crown of the head down along the spine to the tip of the toes, the Bladder Meridian is the longest of the twelve energy meridians. As an organ, the bladder is a place where urine from the kidneys is stored temporarily, but as part of an energy system, the bladder is very closely related to our body’s autonomic nervous system. Starting at the eyes, the Bladder Meridian travels up over the crown of the head, and then flows down from the head along the back of the body to the toes. Splitting in two at the back of the neck, the meridian flows downward parallel with the spine until the two branches on each side of the back are reunited behind the knees. The meridians are distributed in pairs on both sides of our bodies. Therefore, a total of four lines of the Bladder Meridian flow parallel to the spine, which protects the autonomic nervous system.
