Liver Function Energy
Pathway
At 12 a.m. (midnight), at the center of the lower eyelid, Umbilicus Function Energy becomes Gall Bladder Function Energy, which immediately separates into two main branches.
Branch (a) circulates back and forth around the cheekbone toward the eyebrow, loops behind the ear, and reappears at the forehead, continuing around the back of the head [T2, p.32, 2a]. At the back of the head, this branch divides again: one flow enters the acromion, while the other moves diagonally from the first thoracic vertebra (TV1) toward the back of the shoulder joint, descending into the chest. There, it splits once more—one sub-branch flowing into the stomach and the other into the umbilicus.
Branch (b) descends directly from the center of the lower eyelid down the cheekbone to the front of the shoulder. The left flow of this branch travels through the liver and gallbladder, while the right passes through the spleen and pancreas. Both sides reach the fourth lumbar vertebra (LV4) and then continue into the abdomen, circulating through the pelvis before emerging on the side of the hip near the area of SEL 19. From there, Gall Bladder Function Energy flows down the outer thigh and knee to the outer ankle (SEL 16), continuing along the side of the foot until it reaches the fourth toe. There, at 2 a.m., it becomes Liver Function Energy.

Further Commentary
Function
Liver Function Energy can harmonize the following elements along the body:
| Left Flow Helps | Right Flow Helps |
|---|---|
| Left brain, eye, face, shoulder | Right brain, eye, face, shoulder |
| Right lung, breast, chest | Left lung, breast, chest |
| Gall Bladder, Liver | Pancreas |
| Left leg | Right leg |
Zodiacal Energy of Pisces
Liver Function Energy is 12th in the diurnal division and thus corresponds to the astrological energy of Pisces. As the 12th and last part of the 12-fold division, both resonate with outer-of-this-world matters, spiritual healing, and overall awareness that the world extends beyond what we see on the material plane.
Neck Conditions
There are at least two flows that help with stiff-neck conditions from the 12 Function Energy. According to Wayne Hackett, for acute recent discomfort in the neck, the Large Intestine Function Energy is most likely to bring us into harmony. For chronic and prolonged neck conditions, however, it is the Liver Function Energy that helps.
Sluggishness
“It is good for people who say “I don’t want to get up this morning” says Wayne Hackett. And indeed, I’ve experienced this effect directly myself. If you wake up in the morning tired and wonder why you feel that way when you should feel fresh and energized, give a boost to Liver Function Energy the previous night and see how you feel.
