You are not a mechanical setup of joints and muscles. Nor are you simply a biochemical factory. Although you have a musculoskeletal structure and a complex biochemical system, you are more than that. You are primarily consciousness & energy. And consciousness precedes form.

Energy moves faster than form. People can often feel energy up at their heads the split second an acupuncture needle is inserted on their feet.

On the body, a system of energy is imprinted as pathways called meridians. Each meridian connects with one or more organs in your body. These energy pathways are what nourishes and nurtures your organs, muscles, bones, body fluids, and biochemistry.

You may ask, without the use of acupuncture needles, what actually controls this energy?

Thoughts, emotions, and consciousness.
