The channel clock assists in determining whether the expression of a particular organ and corresponding endocrine gland function is either excess or deficient in nature. A deficient condition typically improves during the organ/ endocrine gland's functional high point, whereas an excess condition may worsen at that time due to the relative increase in qi circulation in the associated function. When the circulation to or from the organ/ endocrine gland is obstructed, conditions worsen due to circulatory interference.
The organs illustrated in the channel clock diagram are abbreviated as follows: HT = Heart, SI = Small Intestine, UB = Urinary Bladder, KI = Kidney, PC = Pericardium, TE = Triple Energizer, GB = Gallbladder, LIV = Liver, LU = Lung, LI = Large Intestine, ST = Stomach, SP = Spleen also includes the pancreas.
The heart coordinates the whole. The uterus, prostate, thyroid and adrenals will work overtime and even sacrifice nutrients to support an energetically "tired" heart. To elevate, support and maintain heart rhythm of 100,000+/- heartbeats per 24 hours. The heart needs great nutrition just like your vehicle requires high octane fuel to function at its best. The rhythm of the heart keeps proper circulatory systemic flow, the heart is the "Emperor" of tone and balance.
