How to clean the body meridians

The body meridians are pathways through which chi or energy moves around the body. Although invisible to some, energy-sensitive people can see these channels as light flowing through the body. Those that run close to the surface of the body are not difficult to feel and again those sensitive to energy can feel the push of energy along these channels.

There are body meridians to deliver energy to each organ. Others perform different functions in the body. The meridians of the heart, small intestine, lung and large intestine and pericardium are located in the upper part of the body, along with the triple heater. The meridians of the lower body include the gallbladder, liver, stomach, spleen, kidneys, and bladder. Other Meridians are: Direct, Rule, Penetrate, Link Yin, Link Yang, Yin Hill, and Yang Heel.

The body’s meridians can become clogged, as can the arteries. Sometimes this manifests as acne or freckled skin and moles. When you feel tired and in a bad mood, it may be because your meridians are not flowing properly.

Here is an exercise you can use to help clear the pathways and enjoy a blast of energy.

• Sit in a chair with your feet flat on the floor, shoulder width apart. Make sure your back is straight and your hips are aligned.
• To focus your energy, pull on your diaphragm while raising your arms above your head and turning your palms toward the ceiling. While breathing through your mouth, slowly lower your arms, placing your hands in front of you until your fingers are almost touching and your palms are facing up. Repeat the breathing exercise 2 more times.
• Next, inhale slowly and clench your hands with your thumbs inward, palms still facing up.
• Breathe out slowly as you push your hands forward as you turn them down.
• Breathe in briefly as you pump your elbows back. Do this a total of three times.
• Exhale forcefully as you push your fists forward three times.

Repeat the entire exercise three times.

Next, put your focus on the center of your body, bringing your energy into that space. Hold for a count of at least 10. Taking more time to focus your energy is even more beneficial.

The best time to do this exercise is first thing in the morning. If you do this exercise late at night, you may have a hard time falling asleep. Do this simple exercise every day and you will be amazed at how it transforms your emotional health and well-being.
