Ancient Chinese theory tells us that the acupuncture points on the human body are points along an unseen meridian system that runs deeply throughout the tissues of the body.
Through these meridians passes an invisible nutritive energy known to the Chinese as “ch’i” and Japan as “Qu”. The ch’i energy, or life force, enters the body through the acupuncture points and flows to deeper organ structures bringing life-giving nourishment of a subtle energetic nature. The meridians distribute the subtle magnetic energies of ch’i which provide sustenance and organization for the physical-cellular structure of each organ system. The Chinese also believe that when the flow of energy to the organs becomes blocked or imbalanced, dysfunction of the organ system will occur.
Dysfunction at the physical level may be reflected by imbalances in the paired meridians of the body. The meridians can be viewed as electrical circuits which connect the superficial acupuncture points to deeper organ structures, passageways for the life force to enter the body.
They lie between the etheric and physical bodies and have a direct association with the circulatory and nervous systems. The meridians connect the different acupuncture points in the body. It is essential for the health and wellbeing of the organism that there be sufficient energy in these circuits and that they all be balanced with respect to one another.
When a Bush Essence is ingested or applied it is assimilated into the circulatory system (bloodstream) and settles midway between the nervous and circulatory systems. From there the remedy usually moves directly to the meridians. Then the remedy’s life-force enters the various subtle bodies, the chakras, or returns directly to the physical body to the cellular level through several portals midway between the nervous and circulatory system. Its path is determined by the type of remedy and the person’s constitution.
Gurudas, in his book Flower Essences and Vibrational Healing says that ‘Acupuncture is but the life force flowing through the physical form of the needles. Acupuncture needles can be dipped into water infused with a flower essence. Moreover, having the flower essence bottle in the room in which the treatment occurs, slightly enhances the process. The bottle does not have to be open.’
Peter Fraser, an Acupuncturist and Natural Therapist from Merimbula, NSW, tested the Australian Bush Flower Essences on the Vega machine. He resonated the meridian complexes with the Bush Essences to see how they resonated with the Meridians. He has done research on some of the Bush Essences to see which ones correspond with organs of the body. The information presented below represents the multiple or single resonances with the acupuncture meridians.
