Lung Meridian In Your Personality
High Traits
The lung meridian is the ultimate leader, who employs a healthy balance of truth and power to help others achieve their highest potential. This type is a great protector and guardian. They have the deepest feelings of all types, which allows them to be vulnerable as well as intoxicating. They highly value the truth.
Low Traits
On the flip side, the lung meridian can be passive-aggressive, overly bossy, and tyrannical. Their deep capacity for emotion can lead to extreme emotions such as blind rage, intolerance, and other erratic behaviors as they oscillate from one emotion to another.
Lung Functions
Western Medicine
The lung is primarily responsible for providing the body with oxygen and releasing “used” air made up of carbon dioxide and toxins.
Eastern Medicine
The lungs in Traditional Chinese Medicine control Qi and breathing. Emotionally, the lung meridian is essential for incorporating new ideas and concepts. It absorbs what is useful and releases what we no longer need. “Wei Qi” is also created in the lungs; this defensive Qi provides an energetic immune system-like barrier to protect against illness and disease.
