Meridian Accupressure Clearing and Balancing Sequence
We can activate, clear and bring into better balance the various
meridians in the body through a sequence of tapping with a lightly
closed fist along the meridian pathways and pressing into relevant acupressure
points. This helps to release any trapped energy, detoxify the body, increase your
vitality and get your energy flowing.
Begin by tapping lightly with the fingertips all over the head and scalp especially
where the head and neck join and around the ears (activates numerous meridians
and acupressure points)
Tap both fingers across the forehead down to the temples, massage the ears
Tap under the eye following the bones under the eye socket from nose to temple
Press both fingers either side of the bridge of the nose just into the eye socket
Releases headache and tension
Press two fingers either side into the indent at the side of the nostrils, clears sinuses
Press both fingers into the point at the very base of the cheek bone, clears sinuses
Tap both fingers from the centre of the upper lip down to meet the chin, small
intestine meridian
Tap both fingers from the centre of the chin along the jaw to the ears, large
intestine meridian
Tap over the thymus gland in the centre of the upper chest (stimulates immune
system, opens the heart chakra )
Tap across the whole upper chest from centre to the arms
Press both fingers into the Chest congestion relief point on your chest in the centre
of the groove where your arm joins your chest (a sinking almost nauseous feeling
lets you know you have found it) the point as if you hooked your thumb into braces.
Lung meridian; Tap quite briskly over the trapezius muscle on the top of the
shoulder, Tapping down the arm in line with the thumb, (3 times)
Rub the thumb and squeeze with thumb and forefinger the point at the base of the
thumb nail.
Large Intestine meridian; Rub the index finger and press into the point at the base of
the index finger nail
Tap up the front of the arm in line with this finger to the shoulder (3 times)
Circulation; Turn the arm over palm upwards and tap down the middle of the inner
arm, toward the middle finger (3 times) Rub this finger and press the base of the
finger nail
Triple Warmer (your metabolic rate/energy use); Rub the ring finger and press into
the point at the base of the finger nail
Tap up the outside edge of the arm to the shoulder (3 times)
Heart and Small Intestine meridians; Turn the arm over and tap from under the
armpit gently following the inner edge of the arm to the little finger (3 times) Rub
the finger and Squeeze either side of the base of the little finger nail to stimulate
both points.
Stomach/Spleen meridian; Tap gently starting at your right hip circling up toward
the ribs around the whole abdominal area, circling clockwise (coming up from the
right circling toward and down the left). Numerous points are found around the
belly button.
Kidney meridian; Tap gently over the kidneys in the middle back, either side of the
spine just below the back of the ribs.
Gallbladder meridian; Tap with a flat hand up and down the side of the waist, from
under the armpits to over the hip area.
Buttock release; Tap quite vigorously into the buttock muscles, pressing into the
acupressure point in the very centre of the buttocks to release any spasm in the
gluteal and lower back muscles
Gallbladder/Large Intestine meridian; Tap down the outer edge of the legs from the
hip down past the knee and calf muscles getting into the groove between the
muscles, continue around the outside ankle bone, along the outside edge of the
foot. Press the acupressure point on top of the foot between the little toe and next
toe. This may be tender, breathe into it. (3 times)
Liver meridian; Press on the point on top of the foot between the big toe and the
second toe. Again this may be tender so breathe into it.
Tap along the inside edge of the foot, around the ankle bone and up the inside of
the leg all the way to the pelvis. Make sure you clear around the knee (3 times)
Bladder meridian; Tap with a flat hand up and down the back of the legs from the
ankle to the buttocks (3 times)
With a flat hand, tap all around the knee joint front, sides and back.
Give your arms and legs a good shake to enable the energy to flow.
You may feel hot with lots of heat radiating from your body as you release the
trapped energy
Breathe deeply as you close your eyes and feel the enhanced vitality cascading
through your body. Ensure your drink plenty of water to aid the body in the
detoxifying process.
For best results do this sequence weekly, although 2-3 times a week after illness
can help to boost the immune system and clear any residue fatigue.
