* How to Prevent jet Lag Protocol to prevent jet lag Jet lag occurs when we break our body

s alignment with the earth s magnetic field. Our meridians are in tune with the magnetic field and meridians of the earth through the circadian rhythm. The circadian rhythm describes the way the energy moves from one meridian to the next along the superficial (Wei) circulation of energy. We call it the Chinese clock. It is believed that this circadian flow through the meridians begins with the first breath we take at birth. Thus the clock starts its flow from the lungs, at the level of the chest, and flows down the arm. Then it flows back up the arm to the head and from the head down to the legs and feet and back up the legs to the torso and down the arm again repeating this flow three times for a total of twelve meridians. Every 24 hours completes one cycle. Each meridian has a two-hour segment of the day when the energy is most evident and available in that meridian and its associated organ function. An example would be how the stomach enzymes are at their peak performance during the two-hour segment associated with the stomach from 7-9AM and at their weakest at the opposite time of the day. That is why it is recommended we eat a large breakfast as we can digest our protein best during the morning hours. When we change from one time zone to another without giving our bodies a chance to adapt to the change slowly, we are yanked out of the electromagnetic environment to which our meridians have become acclimated. We are then dropped into a time zone that is not in phase with them. To get back in phase with the time zone we are moving into we can use a special point on specific meridians. Each meridian has what is called a home point. This point is the same element as that meridian, for e.g. the fire point on the fire meridian. During the two hour portion of the Chinese clock when the nature of the element is most evident and the energy of the meridian most accessible, the home point becomes the horary point. The horary point is a strong stimulation point, like the effect of a poker to get the ashes off of the hot coals. In other words, the horary point can reorient the circadian rhythm by waking up the meridian to reveal its true nature. Here s how it works. Let s say you are flying from New York to London. The flight leaves at 9AM and arrives at 9 PM. The flight is 7 hours long. That means there is a five-hour time difference. Therefore the time in London when you are leaving New York is 2 PM. Starting with where you are when leaving New York it is 9 AM and therefore moving into the two hour segment of the Spleen. Using the table, locate the Spleen s horary points bilaterally and massage with medium pressure for a moment. Use the intent: here s home where I am now. Then locate the point for the time you would be in if you where there already. In this case it would be from 1-3 PM time of the small intestine. Locate SI 5, then, massage tap and hold. Give the intent: this is the time at the place we are moving towards. You have now used your intention to move yourself into the new time zone (that is 2PM instead of 9AM). Then every two hours of the flight you do the horary point for the next time zone until you are massaging the

point for the Three Heater for a 9AM arrival (the TH is the time segment from 9 to 11PM). And when you land your body will be situated in the time zone and magnetic field of the new location! It is amazing. I find it most useful for travel when going back in time instead of forward. It involves the same intention. If you would like, you actually can begin the process before you leave home for the airport and then as you take off you only have one point to massage and one every two hours thereafter. Just add that extra time on and figure out what time it is in the place you are heading towards and start from there. It is also very important to drink lots of fluids during the flight and get up every couple of hours (urinate) and do some stretching where there is room by the bathrooms. I would like to add that I also like to run the meridians in the direction of the flow from the feet and hands to the knees and elbows or visa versa. If the horary point were towards the end of the flow I would lightly run my hand along the meridian a few times and end with holding the horary point. If the point is at the start of the meridian, I hold the point and then run the meridian. The following pictures show the points and direction of flow. The following table shows the Chinese clock and Circadian rhythm. Point location diagrams follow the table. 1. 2. 3. BulletTime of Day Meridian 4. Acupuncture Point
