 Colors, Acupuncture Meridians, EFT Points, and Brain Chemistry

Abstract: There are twelve major function of mirror neurons. From a

acupuncture meridians. Each one is
associated with a color, an element and so
much more. In Traditional
Medicine, each acupuncture / acupressure
meridian is associated with sensations
and other aspects of health and healing.
For example the Gallbladder meridian is
associated with the color
Emotional Freedom Technique or EFT
Tapping points are also associated with
the reflex points of certain meridians. For
example, the side of the eye tapping point
is the beginning of the gallbladder
meridian.
Following in the footsteps
Harvard researcher, Amy Cuddy, who
found associations between
body postures (Wonder Woman Pose)
and hormones and neurotransmitters
(cortisol and testosterone), this research
postulates associations between different
meridians and neurotransmitters as well
as the corresponding EFT points. For
example, dopamine is associated with the
gallbladder meridian and a posture or
movement known as long walking. This
information can be used in giving clients
self-care exercises and visualizations,
including motor imagery,
imagery, and visualizations based on the

Taping the side of the eye can
stimulate dopamine balance in the body.
In acupuncture the gallbladder meridian
points GB 1 and GB 3 are found at the
side of the eye.
The idea of lightly tapping on
points on the body comes from many
fields of complementary and alternative
guided medicine including Emotional Freedom
Technique (EFT), where practitioners

guide you through a series of points as
you hold new thoughts in your mind and
say affirmations. The goal is to integrate a
new consciousness of your power and
creativity into your consciousness,
subconscious and body awareness.
A powerful tool, tapping can
influence brain chemistry. Here we lay
out the EFT tapping points and how they
relate to the brain and the body as well as
specific points from other fields including
acupuncture, integrative manual therapy,
osteopathic manual medicine and what
you can expect from tapping on these
points.
You can also stimulate these points
in other ways, including acupressure
(pressing and rubbing) and using an
integrative manual therapy clicker or a
chiropractic speeder board, kinesio elastic
tape, tuning forks, or even your voice to
mechanically and energetically vibrate
the points. These points can be stimulated
by colored light, by the color you wear
over the point, by a drop of
aromatherapy, homeopathic solutions,
Bach flower remedies, or Reiki symbols
on the point.
In reflexology the finger tip are
reflective of the sinuses, so that tapping
using your finger tips can stimulate better
drainage from the sinuses, enhance
breathing and oxygenation of the brain
and the body. In acupuncture the finger

tips stimulate the various meridians
including the six arm meridians: heart,
small intestine, lung, large intestine,
pericardium, and triple warmer.
For an example of how tapping can
influence brain chemistry let's look at the
side of the eye or the bony border outside
the corner of the eye. In acupuncture this
area includes the Tai yang extra point,
and the gallbladder meridian points
GB1and GB 3. It is also a place of
intersection where four cranial bones
meet: the frontal bone, temporal bone,
parietal bone and the sphenoid. It is the
intersection point of the Gallbladder,
Triple Warmer and Stomach Meridians.
These intersection points are associated
with the temporal [time] bone, the TMJ
and the temporal lobe, which is the seat of
your hearing as well as sense of time
[past, present, future]. The gallbladder
meridian which runs along the eye as
well as down the legs is associated with
the brain chemical or neurotransmitter,
dopamine. Balanced dopamine leads to
strong comfortable movement, a sense of
reality and creativity, as well as a view of
the things that are rewarding in your life
and the ability to see the opportunities.
GB 1 is also associated with good decision
making abilities, inspiration behind
decisions and when out of balance leads
to irritability, rage, bitterness, constant
sadness, as well as anger of the sort that
leads to irrational or hasty decisions and
allergies.
One study showed
acupuncture as well as stroking of the
skin changed neurotransmitter balances,
improving nervous system
alertness, blood pressure and bladder
control. Researchers said, "There are
significant age-related changes
autonomic nervous system function that
are responsible for an impaired ability to
adapt to environmental or
visceral stimuli in the elderly. We review
data on changes in autonomic nervous
system regulation of cardiovascular and
urinary function, as well as data on
strategies to improve function. There are
data showing alterations in peripheral
and central autonomic nerve activity, and
decreases in neurotransmitter receptor
action that lead to diminished autonomic
reactivity (e.g. blood pressure
cerebral blood flow regulation) and
poorly coordinated autonomic discharge
(e.g. bladder function). Simple strategies
for autonomic function improvement and
increasing cortical blood flow include
walking and somatic afferent stimulation
(e.g. stroking skin or acupuncture) to
increase sympathetic, parasympathetic

We certainly demand a lot of our
brains, in fact more each day as the
function, number and frequency of messages
increase. So, what if not only our brain,
but every cell is listening? And what role
in do our expectations play in that?
Find out how focus, creativity,
expectations, and playfulness are crucial
intrinsic to our brain's health and entire body's
well-being. Why telling a joke is healing,
the effect of a story on the brain, and why
you might see the question, "How are
you?" in a whole new light.
