Diamond Shield: The protective shield

Well, a natural armor like this actually exists in the form of an energetic network of meridians in our body, but it must forfeit some functionality due to excessive exposure to today’s hustle and bustle.

The energetic system of meridians that flows on the body surface has exactly this task: it is to protect us from external influences.

The energetic system of meridians that flows on the body surface has exactly this task: it is to protect us from external influences. The incredibly finely branched system of meridians runs along the body surface and allows the life energy Qi to flow freely in their paths. This protective net is comparable to the coat of mail of an armor, which is well known for having the purpose to fend off blows best possible and therefore protects the body from injury.

However, this safeguard turns out to be not infinitely resilient: If the coat of mail is maltreated every day with a large number of blows, it will gradually form cracks and chips in the material. Therefore in some places compounds are missing, which are actually necessary to offer a full-body protection. Rust is caused by weather conditions (loads).

Our meridian system is also in such an unstable situation: the protective shield is degenerated to its minimum functions.

The idea to counteract the problem of a “weakening” protective shield by strengthening the meridian system is not new – especially in Qi Gong and in Chinese martial arts people have always seeked to ensure a strengthening and cleansing of the meridian system by exercise to ultimately obtain the ideal of a diamond body from which all forms of harmful influences rebound.
