Eac h main meridian energy channel of the body is related to a specific physiological organ such as the heart, pancreas or spleen, and eac h organ has its key emotional expression. These are the energy channels on which the EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) treatment points c an be found. For interested EFT users/prac titioners the references to the relevant EFT points for each channel are also given.
