Lung and Large Intestine

The lungs control the body's physical energy. The Meridian regulates the pores and skin to adjust to variations in temperature and activity. Strengthening this meridian and moving energy blocks through helps to increase resistance to illness in general as well as colds and flu.

The Lung Meridian begins at the outer portion of the chest, underneath the pectoralis muscles. From this point it travels along the insides of the arms, ending at the base of the thumbnail.

Begin by pulling outward on the thumb while squeasing. Do this three times and finish by holding (pinching) either side of the thumb nail for three to five seconds (you may feel the energy beginning to move). Repeat with the other hand.

2	Cross arms at centre of chest with thumbs pressed into the outside portion of chest.
3	Breathe deep into the abdomen, expanding the diaphram and hold at the top for several seconds.
4	Exhale releasing the breath slowly. Repeat.
