The yin meridians have a downward flow, and the yang has an upward flow.
Chinese Meridian Clock And The Body Organs
To correspond with each meridian, 12 organ systems, the stomach, spleen, kidney, liver, heart, small intestine, bladder, pericardium, triple burner, gallbladder, lung, and large intestine.
Each organ system has a particular time of the day. At its peak (hence the clock), it is related to a specific meridian and has corresponding emotions and other symptoms (if not functioning well).
Stomach
The stomach is an earth-energy yang organ responsible for transmitting the energy received from food into the next organ. It is the “sea of nourishment,” and if there is a problem in this area or given an excess, there could be mental complications such as anxiety, mania, or hyperactivity.
Spleen
Its paired organ is the spleen. The spleen is an earth-energy yin organ that controls pulling energy out from the stomach and dispensing it. In Chinese traditional medicine, the spleen houses thoughts and ideas. If someone’s spleen is functioning well, it will show in the lips (they should be reddish and moist), but if they are pale and dry, then there is a problem.
The positive emotions that go along with useful spleen functions are trust, honesty, acceptance, and balance. If there is a problem, the person may experience overthinking/analyzing, worrying, self-doubt, and remorse.
Heart
The heart is a fire energy yin organ, and it is the head of all of the other organs. It controls everything, and when the heart is mentioned, it is also intended to imply “mind.” But the soul governs the blood and circulation, which affects each of the other organs in the body.
If the heart is functioning well, the person will feel joy, energy, forgiveness, courtesy, and a standard color and texture of the tongue and proper speech. A struggle with the heart will exhibit the symptoms of a lack of adequate sleep and stuttering speech.
Small Intestine
The small intestine is a fire energy yang organ and is the “Minister of Reception.” It takes food from the stomach and separates it into what is used for energy and what becomes waste.

The kidney is a water-energy yin organ responsible for filtering through the body’s fluids and nourishing and aiding the bones’ growth. Poor kidney function could result in backache, ringing ears, fear, and paranoia.
Pericardium

Suppose it is connected with the nervous system and is related to muscular tension and activity. If there are liver troubles, the patient may have trouble relaxing or will be fatigued. So the liver is in charge of ambition, creativity, and drive and is associated with other strong emotions.
