Rigid, inflexible, nose issues? -Trace Lung Meridian

by Karen L. Semmelman, Certified EEM-AP, JD, AAML(03-12)

From a Western view, lungs control respiration, pulling in oxygen and exhaling carbon dioxide. In Chinese Medicine, lungs are “The Official of Rhythmic Order”, overseeing the interaction between the exterior and interior world and thus instilling the body with rhythm and order in every breath, reflecting that for every ending there is a new beginning. But, if the lung meridian is out of balance, a person may literally be very inflexible, stiff when he/she walks and have tight reins on emotions-just not in sync with life. Physically, expect to see bronchitis; chest congestion; colds; congestive heart failure; coughs; flu; insomnia; pleurisy; respiratory issues; shortness of breath; skin problems; or tuberculosis.

As a Reminder, view the August 5 and 12^th Columns, since the basics of tracing are set forth.

Meridian Flow Wheel Time of day. LU meridian’s high tide is 3 AM 5 AM. We always begin and end by tracing Central and Governing meridians before starting to trace the other meridians. If you begin tracing your meridians at 3 30 AM (you definitely have an energy imbalance), then begin with LU.

Another popular cause of erectile dysfunction is damage to the tissues, either the arteries, nerves, muscles or fibrous generic tadalafil prices tissue. You should check the progress and effect and suitability tadalafil 20mg uk http://cute-n-tiny.com/tag/badger/ to you. Brisk tadalafil cipla walking promotes improved blood flow just like generic sildenafil citrate. Sildenafil citrate may be found in other names except Kamagra such as Kamagra, oral jelly, Zenegra, Silagra, Zenegra, buy viagra for women, Caverta, and Forzest etc. Reasons to Trace Alone in Addition to Tracing All Meridians. Although it is best to trace all your meridians as one continuous flow, you may want to trace LU if you have some of the symptoms listed in the opening paragraph. By boosting Lung energy, you begin balancing the body.

Affirmation for this Meridian is “I breathe in fresh chi & inspiration… I breathe out stale chi & grief”. Remembering that matter follows energy, stating a positive thought shifts the energy just by the intention-this is the metaphysical fabric of life! We are all part of that pure fabric of existence so reap its benefits.

Pathway of Meridian. Place one hand on the opposite front shoulder area, above the nipple and directly across from the top of your armpit. Move it up over the front of your shoulder, straight down the edge of your arm where the light part of your skin meets the darker section and off the thumb. Do the other side. That’s it. You just traced Lung meridian!!

Flushing or Tracing the Meridian Backwards. Remember that if there is too much energy in a meridian, you may want to trace it backwards and see if that makes you feel better. If experiencing pain or dis-ease in the area of a meridian, it is likely that removing the energy from the meridian will provide relief. If it does, then trace it backwards 3 times, but NEVER TRACE HEART BACKWARDS. If it seems there is not enough energy in your meridian then trace it forward 3 times. If you feel better, this is what was needed. Experience the impact of the energetic shifts. To flush a meridian, as if you are de-clogging a pipe, trace the meridian once backwards to loosen the sludge and then trace the meridian forward 3 times. Flushing really helps reset the meridian’s balance.

You are set. Keep this Column as a reminder of how to trace Lung while you learn the next 3 meridians this month!

Dry Skin, Mouth, Eyes, Nasal Passages? Rub Large Intestine Points!

by Karen L. Semmelman, Certified EEMCLP, JD, AAML(03-12)

If you know someone who has a tendency toward dry skin, or they just can’t seem to “quench the thirst” and the mouth is always dry; or they are continually carrying eye drops with them for the dryness in the eyes; or perhaps have an ongoing issue with constipation; or maybe the continual need to use an ointment for the nasal passages— think large intestine! Why? Large intestine is associated with one of the 5 Rhythms –the Metal Rhythm. The Metal Rhythm also contains the Lung meridian. Those 20% of the population that have a primary Rhythm of metal can expect to have issues associated with dryness, skin, irritated or swollen eyes, sinus congestion, stuffy nose, swollen glands.. See a pattern with these conditions? They are all about holding onto something and not letting go—that is a characteristic of a person with a Metal Rhythm!

An easy solution to ease these conditions is to rub the Large Intestine 4 Acupoint (a major point on the LI meridian), which is located on the top of the hand in the webbing between the thumb and index finger. Place the index finger and thumb of the other hand over this web and begin gently circling the area, which is likely feeling quite fibrous, continuing until the density of the area dissipates. It is likely very tender and may take days to enable the area to soften. This creates an environment where moisture can then penetrate the body, making space and thus reducing the ongoing dryness.
Personal testimony: As being diagnosed with gastritis, I personally needed to viagra buy no prescription take measures to improve my choices of the foods that I put into my mouth and chose to eat. They might change the deal by the time you order the second time or they may be http://amerikabulteni.com/2011/08/28/new-york-subways-and-busses-not-running-today-could-be-rough-commute-on-monday/ prescription de viagra canada malignant i.e. cancerous. However, there are certain important points that http://amerikabulteni.com/2013/11/14/bu-yoldan-geriye-donus-yok/ viagra online you would keep in you are mind involve- Visiting a physician first before ordering Kamagra through any of pharmacy. What makes things even worse is how senior managers cialis vs viagra in these dysfunctional organizations proclaim empowerment, participation, teams, leadership, trust, and the like.
Another Acupoint on the LI meridian that will bring relief to congestion and dryness is LI 20, the last point on the meridian. Since the meridians run on both side of the body, rub with gradually increasing pressure on each side of the nostril where the nostril connects to the cheek area.

As you learn to go to these 2 points regularly, expect to see relief from the dryness, plus they also soothe the digestive system, alleviating gas, diarrhea and constipation. This will not happen overnight, but by incorporating it into your routine, expect to see shifts!!!
