Flexibility

Do you Need to Loosen UP?!

Feeling tight, stiff, or immobile?

Increase your Flexibility.  It’s THIS SIMPLE!

Touch the points you see below, to massage or tap, or even just touch and hold…

…left side first, unless you can touch both sides at the same time…and read the description by the point.  Spend at least as much time thinking about the description and what it means to you, or what memories it brings up….while you massage the right side (or keep massaging both sides).

BL-40

KI-10 Yin Valley & SP-9 Yin Mound Spring & BL-40 Bend at the Crook: Encourage the perfect balance of dampness…too dry will break, and too damp will bend.  As strong and flexible as a bone.  Feel that strength and flexibility in your body.  Use two hands and touch all three at once.

SP-9

KI-10

TH-10 Celestial Well & SI-8 Small Sea: These are considered reservoirs of spirit within our body.  Spirit cannot be unwell or sick, but it can be clouded on a physical or mental level.  This connects you to Spirit within and lightens your entire being.

TH-10

LU-3, CX-2

LU-3 Celestial Storehouse & CX 2 Heavenly Spring:  The reserves and the eternal.  This gives the blind the ability to see, a different perspective.  Like a friend who grabs you by the arms to shake you out of a really poor decision.  Feel that ‘jolting’ kind of flexibility.

LV-4 Middle Mound & SP-5 Merchant Mound:  This removes the obstruction to seeing your toes, along with the flexibility to stretch your value.  A mound in the middle is associated with a lack of movement, and a merchant mound is moving so far as to climb to the highest place and share your value (goods, services, etc).  The Merchant is the best in the village to see value, and this is about seeing your own.

LV-4, SP-5

Strength

Do you Need Strength!?  To Keep Going?

Do you Want More Strength!?  To reach new levels?

It’s THIS SIMPLE!

Touch the points you see below, to massage or tap, or even just touch and hold…

left side first, unless you can touch both sides at the same time…and read the description by the point.  Spend at least as much time thinking about the description and what it means to you, or what memories it brings up….while you massage the right side (or keep massaging both sides).

LU-10

LU-10 Fish Border: Set your outlook to “finding the fish.”  When you find the fish, your day gets very focused, your heart feels excited appreciation and gratitude, and your spirit calms, knowing you have found what you need.  Set your outlook to seeing the body and strength changes you desire.  Visualize it being done.  (Now massage the Right Side and imagine!)

BL-58 Taking Flight & KI-7 Recover Flow: (Right hand on KI-7, Left on BL-58) Pulling scattered components together into harmony.  Visualize muscle repair accelerating like the HULK’s rapid healing superpowers.  KI-7 is like a factory reset, to return to original specifications and settings, aka full of spirit and infinite possibilities.  BL-58 is called the Tirelessness Point.  Feel recharged and tireless in your body.

KI-7

BL-58

TH-14 Shoulder Crevice: See and feel yourself being able to PUSH and/or PULL harder and farther.

TH-14

LI-5, LU-7

LI-5 Yang Ravine & LU-7 Broken Sequence: These two are powerful for letting go of hurt, including the breakdown of your body from pushing it to its limits.  Sort of the energy of a Warrior wrapping his wound and returning to battle, but with deep cellular healing.

LV-4

LV-4 Middle Seal:  A seal is an emblem, symbol or letter used as evidence of quality, authority or authenticity.  Picture your middle as you authentically desire.  What feels good to your heart?  Athletic and muscular?  Slender and fit?  Curvy and voluptuous?  Emboss (verb. carve or stamp)  that Middle Seal.  

Liver Meridian

The Wood Element corresponds to the season Spring…

A time of new beginnings and growth, pushing through boundaries, and stretching for the Sun…a bursting, lively energy that follows a highly organized plan called Natural Law.

The Liver is the energy of your blueprint for following your heart desire and completing your Mission (whichever your heart decides to accept)…your Liver energy maintains the plans, the structure for your success (which, again, your heart decides upon).

The Gall Bladder, the Yang partner to Yin Liver, in the Wood Element, is the supervisor who carries out the plans.  When, where and how.

Types of Points

  • Metal – Brings quality, purity, value and inspiration, along with the wisdom careful reflection and letting go of any
  • Water – Adds patience, accommodation, flow and flexibility, along with will and determination, rest and building up reserves.
  • Wood – The bright and bouncy energy of Spring, bursting forth, new growth, along with a careful and detailed, precise plan.
  • Fire – Adds warmth and fun, humor and joy, passion and heart desire, along with the confidence to reveal your most brilliant blooms and colors.
  • Earth – Brings nourishment and nurturing, caretaking and inclusion.  This element makes sure every cell in your body receives glucose and oxygen to survive and thrive.
  • Source – The source point is something like the battery charger for the entire meridian.
  • Lou – Lou points pull energy from their partners, self love points, softening the approach on Yang meridians, or pushing harder for Yin meridians.  Lou means to embrace or hug.

When your Wood Element is healthy, everything functions flows smoothly, well coordinated, with everything arriving in the right amount, at the right place, and at the right time.

The Points of the Liver Meridian.

LV-1 Great Mound (Wood) – This point provides a burst of growth and confidence to the Meridian and Wood Element.  Helps give “failure to launch” the energy, motivation, and vision to get moving forward; restores consciousness, relieves genital pain and stops uterine bleeding.  Useful for hernia.

LV-2 Move Between (Fire) – Gives the flexibility to deal with to obstacles, adapting with a contingency plan, or an appropriate “side step” at any time. We often must consider, in planning, other points of view and sides to an issue. This need not thwart us from our path. The good humor of fire is often a good antidote for stuck, stubborn and overly attached patients. It brings love and compassion to one’s plans.

LV-3 Supreme Rushing/Great Surge (Earth, Source) – This point provides a sense of security – knowing that nourishment is always available. Consider for temporal headaches, depression, high blood pressure and dizziness.

LV-4 Middle Seal/Mound (Metal) – Provides clarity to “see” the direction that most serves your vision, and the inspiration/acknowledgement of this internal “voice.”

All Liver (LV) points can be used for “local” problems, pain or swelling along the channel, or problems with Liver or gall bladder organs.  This meridian goes through the groin and around the genitals so any urinary or menstrual issues as well.

LV-5 Insect Ditch (Lou) – To relieve irritation and annoyances, to return to peace and calm.  (Itchy, irritated genitals!)
