This balance can be checked by pulse diagnosis or meridian balancing. If your body is out of electrical balance this must be corrected. Meridians are like rivers of energy that all connect throughout the body. In order to balance the electricity within the body, two or more needles are placed on the hands, feet, or abdomen. Silver or gold pellets or silver rings may be worn to enhance this balance.
Silver is like adding water to a fire, because it slows the energy flow.
Gold, on the other hand, is like adding wood to the fire. Thus, making it more intense. An analogy might be made to a room that is too hot. You simply close the vent and the heat goes to the other rooms in the house. This results in more energy flowing to other rivers of the body.
