- Today's Qigong exercise is The Liver Merdian Stretch. The Liver is responsible for the smooth flow of Qi and blood in the body. The Liver organ is paired with the Gallbladder and both are part of the Wood element. Anger is the emotion associated with the Liver. If you are someone who is angry or irritable often and have trouble letting go of the daily irritations of life; there may be an imbalance of the Liver energy.
When we are stressed, we tend to shorten the breath. The breath will generally be held in the upper chest rather than allowing the lungs to expand to their full capacity. With this type of breathing the diaphragm and intercostal muscles have limited mobility which equals limited breath. This stretch lengthens the intercostal muscles which need to expand in order to accommodate deeper inhalations. When we breath deeply, the body relaxes as well as the mind and we manage stress better.
This simple exercise can be done standing, seated or even supine (on your back). Listen to your body and only stretch within your comfort zone. Do 10-20 repetitions and you will change the way that you feel.
Enjoy!

Starts at the big toe inside leg rib cage out the head wow you amazing this is exactly my symptoms I’ve practiced chi gong for few years now I’ve been searching my answer how many times can I do this a day I’m having all these things wrong for days and I feel constipated with left side dull feeling under my rib area I’ve had this before with sour taste in mouth n also gives you a feeling of I just want to lay down . I know energy must move so thank you I’m using two of your videos subscribing and I love how you explain explicitly on your videos much appreciated ❤so happy I’ve found this do you have any other advice I’ve been dealing with an x who was a narcissist n I’ve suffered narcissistic abuse it’s been years but I had a run in and it affected me few days I’m just now getting back to my practice but these symptoms are here im wondering why I was affected in liver nbc if this im assuming angry pain im dedicating today to my healing .
Oh oh I’ve had a pain in the back of my right side head as well as all these symptoms you explained the pathway n going out the head I’m wondering if that pain is part of the flow out of my head I hope this exercises helps me get back to normal any advice. Or other videos ?
Thanks for your comment/question. I’m glad you are getting relief from this exercise. I suggest doing at least 12 slow sets to open the rib cage and spine. This will help enhance the energy flow through the torso and facilitate deeper breathing. All of this will help you self regulate.
All the best.
What would you suggest for dizziness?
I would suggest that you purchase a book called Acupressure's Potent Points: A Guide to Self-care for Common Ailments
Book by Michael Reed Gach
