In Shiatsu and East Asian medicine, the meridians don’t exist in isolation — they move in a continuous, living flow through the body.
There is an order to this movement. Energy flows from yin to yang, yang to yang, and yang back to yin. One example of this cycle is: Lung → Large Intestine → Stomach → Spleen. This sequence reflects how the body transforms breath, nourishment, and energy into usable vitality.
The yin channels flow upward, from earth toward the sun. They travel along the inner, more protected surfaces of the body — the inside of the arms and legs, and the front of the torso. These are the areas that naturally turn inward, the parts that need care, containment, and protection.
The yang channels move in the opposite quality. They flow from the outer, distal parts of the body toward the centre — from sun toward earth, from outside to inside. They run along the surfaces the sun reaches most easily: the outer arms, shoulders, back, and the front and outside of the legs (notice where the skin tans first).
In this reel, Autumn is tracing these pathways on her own body, showing how meridian flow is not abstract theory, but something we can see, feel, and work with directly.
Shiatsu works with this natural order, supporting balance by following the body’s innate rhythms of movement, protection, and exchange.
