meridian

Description

A meridian is the invisible freeway of qi said to flow through the body. Its existence can only be proven by fingertip sensations and belief, evading every scientific verification like a magical trick. Acupuncturists boast of using this unseen map to cure both pain and existential confusion in one go. Patients marvel more at the paradox of balancing qi than the pain of the needle. Eventually, they blame their scattered life on a blockage in these ethereal pathways.
