The Gallbladder Meridian...
For Courage and Initiative
The Gallbladder Meridian is a yang meridian and is paired with the Liver Meridian.
This Meridian's Qi (energy flow) is responsible, among other, for decision making and good judgments, as well as providing courage and initiative.
The Gallbladder Meridian Route
This meridian begins just outside the outer corner of the eye, turns down towards the ear and then up to the forehead just within the hair line, then descends behind the ear to the corner of the skull.
It then returns to the forehead above the center of the eye and moves down the head to the bottom of the skull.
It continues down the neck to the shoulder, descends the side of the body along the ribs, to the waist and pelvic. It continues down the outside of the leg, to the ankle, ending on the outside of the 4th toe.
