What is Channels or Meridian?
Meridians are the pathways through which vital energy (Qi) flows in the body. There are 14 main Channels of which 12 are paired (bilateral) and 2 are unpaired (midline). Vital energy (Qi) flows in these Channels in an orderly cyclic sequence. Branches of Channels which connect one Channel to another in order to balance the flow of vital energy are called collaterals (Luo).
