Meridian Cleansing

This qi gong practice helps to move and get rid of stagnant chi in your body. The movements trace the acupressure meridians of your body, giving your body a full energetic massage and cleansing.

Meridians of the body affect every organ and physiological system inside of us. They are invisible to the human eye, yet without them we could not sustain life. In the same way that arteries carry blood, meridians carry energy, often referred to as chi, qi or prana. Meridians are our body's "energy bloodstream": they bring vitality and balance, remove energy blockages, stagnations and imbalances, adjust metabolism and determine the speed and form of cellular change. Their flow is as critical as the flow of blood; your life and health depend on both.

Meridians of the body affect all major systems including: immune, nervous, endocrine, circulatory, respiratory, digestive, skeletal, muscular and the lymphatic system.

These exercises also focus on opening all of your joints, so that new energy can penetrate deep inside your body. The more deeply energy flows through the body, the more the mind relaxes.

Please note: When we practice anything new or different, it's natural to feel sore and tired and in need of more rest. Keep practicing and you will begin to gain more energy.
