There are several simple methods that can be used to clear the liver meridian, which can help promote overall health and emotional stability.
One exercise, known as the “horizontal ligament pull,” involves two positions: the first is lying flat on the ground, spreading the legs as far apart as possible for ten minutes, which may require assistance from another person; the second position is lying on your back near the edge of a bed, with feet up against the wall, forming a shape similar to the letter V.
Another exercise is called the “lotus carefree pose,” where you sit on a hard flat surface, extend the right leg straight, bend the left leg, place the left foot against the inner thigh of the right leg, then twist the body towards the left leg, attempting to touch the right foot with the right hand, while extending the left arm upwards, keeping the body in the same plane.
“Liver meridian pushing” is an exercise that can be done on a bed by pressing the liver meridian area on the inside of the thighs to promote the circulation of qi and blood. The specific method involves slightly bending the legs, gently pushing forward along the liver meridian line to the knees with overlapped hands, repeating on each side about forty to fifty times. This method benefits women’s health, improves facial complexion, and helps relieve emotions.
The “butterfly pose” requires sitting with the soles of the feet together, pressing the knees down towards the ground, keeping the back straight, and rhythmically vibrating the knees, helping to open up the meridians on the legs, promote circulation of qi and blood throughout the body, enhance internal organ vitality, and manifest externally as rosy complexion and delicate skin.
Another exercise is the “legs pressing together and apart pose,” where you start by pressing the legs together and then apart, which is not only simple and easy to perform but can also be done during relaxation.
As for the symptoms that may arise from a blocked liver meridian, they span across multiple systems, including sleep disturbances, emotional fluctuations, sensitive skin, digestion issues, illustrating the crucial importance of a healthy liver meridian for overall well-being.
The main functions of the liver meridian involve emotional regulation (freeing and dispersing), blood management (storing blood), and support for the male reproductive system. Emotional stability, normal blood circulation, and reproductive health are closely intertwined with the smooth operation of the liver meridian, emphasizing the importance of maintaining proper liver meridian flow for maintaining physical and mental health.
