Meridian Metaphors; Second Edition; Psychology of the Meridians & Major Organs For All Holistic Methods. Best Practices in Energy Medicine

Where body symbology and acupuncture meridians meet. All topics revised 2026. Slate Burris' topic of Six Element Acupuncture now incorporated. Especially pertinent for muscle-testers and "energy detectives" of all kinds, this compiles many sources to make it easy, to move back and forth between meridian-organ dysfunction; and, underlying mental-emotional issues. Did you ever think Chinese Medicine had accurate intuitions about psychology and the whole person; yet, they were partial and incomplete? Have you wondered what else we know about meridian-muscle-organ-psychology, after 50 years of public use of Applied Kinesiology, Touch for Health and related modes? Slate Burris' 2019 rectifying of the Chinese 6-element system is observed. In 8.5 x 11" format this is about 100 pages of reference to look up insights into wellness concerns cross-referenced with meridian under- and overcharge.
Beginning sections pertain to all meridians and clinical practice. Then current knowledge on the Axis of Dysfunction for each meridian-organ is detailed:1) Which meridian-organ absorbs which emotions, 2) HEALTHY expressions of each meridian and associated organ, 3) Each meridian-organ has an Axis of Dysfunction:- One pole of Disturbed UNDERcharged expressions, and- One pole of Disturbed OVERcharged expressions.
This text is NOT a rehashing of meridians-vessels in their physical presentations. Its focus is comprehensive language to identify the involvement of meridians-organs in mental-emotional disturbances. Special attention is given to the Conception Vessel (self-esteem) and Governing Vessel (self-concept). Why? Healthy self-esteem + healthy self-concept = healthy self-concept. This is a reference MANUAL for counselors and practitioners of all kinds, wellness coaches, intuitive counselors and holistic practitioners.
It condenses and better organizes the brilliant insights of William F. Whisenant's monumental Psychological Kinesiology (1994) adding to it many observations from other sources and the clinical practices of the author and other practitioners.
