Movement of Qi ~
3AM - 5AM - the time of the Lung. The Lung is 'The Receiver of
Qi from the Heavens'. This is probablywhy a lot of teachings
encourage meditation between these hours. The Lungs take the Qi
they havereceived from the Heavens (Gathering Qi) and is
responsible for dispersing Qi (and Blood*) all aroundthe body and
descending any "waste" down to the L.I. where any remaining fluids
can be reabsorbed
into the body and waste excreted.
[*Blood is the Mother of Qi, and Qi is the commander of Blood.
They move together. Qi being Yangand Blood being Yin in
nature.]
5AM - 7AM - the Large Intestine meridians are on duty. 'The
Drainer of the Dregs' the L.I. gets rid ofany toxins and helps
disperse any pathogenic factors. This is the time to empty your
bowels. Then si tat the window in sunlight. Drink warm water. Brush
your hair. All aiding the dispersing of pathogenicfactors. Time to
wash! This is the time to let go of all manner of things which do
not serve us.
7AM - 9AM - Stomach is on duty. Time to eat a warm hearty
breakfast so we can begin to make Qi!'The Controller of Rotting and
Ripening' breaks the food into clean and unclean parts which it
then
transports to the Spleen. Any waste is sent on the Small
Intestine which will refine these parts evenfurther.
9AM - 11AM -the Spleen is on duty. 'The Controller of
Transformation and Transportation' receivesfood and drink from the
Stomach and begins to transform it into Food Qi before transporting
it to theLungs to mix with Gathering Qi in order to make True Qi,
of which there is a Yin and Yang aspect,Nutritive Qi and Defensive
Qi respectively.
11AM- 1PM - time foor the Heart, or 'The Supreme Controller' (or
'Emperor') which works with theLungs and Spleen together to make
Food Qi into Blood to circulate around the body. This is a goodtime
to have some lunch, take a walk and have a nap.
1PM - 3PM - the Small Intestine is on duty. 'The Separater of
Pure and Impure' further refines anyfood essences and sends the
clean part to nourish the body (muscles and four limbs). The
dirty'turbid' parts go to the L.I. (which excretes waste) and the
'clear' parts to the Bladder to betransformed into urine and
excreted.
3PM - 5PM - 'The Controller of Storage of Fluid', the Bladder
removes water by Qi transformation. TheBladder meridians run on
each side of the spine, from foot to head, Qi and Blood
flowactively/strongly in teh Bladder meridian at this time and so
it is a good time for efficient work. Or anafternoon meditation
maybe? Drinking tea at this time is also a good idea to help flush
out the toxins,which are passed in urine. (It is for this reason
that I have yet to explore UT!)
5PM - 7PM - the Kidneys take a turn, 'The Controller of Fluids'.
This is a good time for reinforcingKidney therapies. Massaging
point Yong Quan (at the apex of the arch of teh foot) is a good way
to
nourish Kidney Qi).
7PM - 9PM - Qi is with the Pericardium, 'The Heart Protector'.
At this time the PC is very active anddisperses energy of
pathogenic factors around the Heart. This is a good time for
reading also.Remember here Fire and Ministerial Fire. While Fire is
connected to the Emperor the Heart Protector islike the
Minister.
9PM - 11PM - the Triple Burner gets a turn. 'The Officer of
Balance and Harmony'. This is where Yinenergy starts to fade and
Yang energy starts to grow. Here the Yin and Yang energies within
the body(and universe) are balanced, which also means it is a good
time for having sex (getting pregnant).
The TB is like a three fold division of the body into three
spaces. The Upper, Middle and Lower
'Burners'. (think Upper, Midle and Lower Dan T'ien. and i'm sure
have some connection to the firebreathing) The TB enables the
passage of Original Qi (which derives from the Kidneys/Essence)
allaround the body.
7/30/2019 Movement of Qi
2/2
11PM - 1PM - Qi is with the Gallbladder, 'The Decision Maker' -
being a time where a lot of people getgreat ideas or "second wind"
and can keep them up late as they begin to move into the next
timephase. As the Yang energy is growing, sleep here is a good way
of storing it.
1PM - 3PM - 'The Planner' or Liver it at its strongest here. The
Liver meridian is on duty to expel
toxins and produce fresh new Blood in the Liver (connection with
Heart Blood here; the Heartproduces Blood and the Liver stores it,
save for menstrual Blood which is Essence). People who haveinsomnia
or restlessness at this hour may be due over-active Yang energy or
dysfunction with theLiver.
.... and back to the Lungs.....
its quite tricky to take say, the Diurnal Cycle and explain it
independently of the rest of the Qimechanisms and organs functions
etc, as its all interconnected.... but hope this babble makes
somesense or is of use to someone ^_^
