exercise

1. Lie down. Imagine a warm, pleasant sun in your solar plexus (stomach area or more specifically, area between your navel and bottom of sternum).
2. Do this for a while and you will start feeling warm and relaxed. You may even notice your breathing slowing down.
3. (optional) To bring a level of spirituality into this, remember again a time when you knew God (whatever you conceive him to be) existed.

To Trace the Meridians

• Use your full hand, palms facing the body.
• Either directly touching the body or 2" from it.
• Follow the natural path of the particular meridian.
• For each of the 14 meridians, see the diagrams for each meridian.

• Meridians are electromagnetic pathways. Hence they are responsive to electromagnetic energy, as found in your hands.
• The chi(body's life energy) flows along these pathways.
• Acupunture points also fall along the meridians.
• Most meridians are named after the main organs that they pass through.
• When healthy, each meridian flows in a specific direction.
