You can balance your lung meridian anytime, anywhere by stimulating these neurolymphatic reflexes, tracing your lung meridian and repeating a series of positive affirmations.

One of the unfortunate aspects of the coronavirus is that it affects your respiratory system.

Your lung meridian brings healing energy to your physical lungs, so maintaining healthy balance in your lung meridian is critical at this time.

What is your lung meridian?

Your lung meridian is a river of energy that brings chi or prana to your lungs.

Many people have heard of acupuncture, which requires you to visit an acupuncturist.

The techniques that I’m teaching you are methods from a system of healing called Touch for Health that you can do for yourself or for others.

During this global pandemic of COVID-19, I recommend balancing your own lung meridian on a daily basis by turning to these natural healing remedies.

If you are a parent or are caring for a loved one, you can follow these directions to do these techniques for anyone you are caring for.

In my book The Difference Between Pain and Suffering, I teach how to trace all your acupuncture meridians. If you want to learn how to trace all your meridians you can order your copy at this link.

Your neurolymphatic reflexes are a series of points all over your body that correspond to specific muscles as well as to related acupuncture meridians.

Neurolymphatic Reflex Points from Touch for Health: http://www.touch4health.com/techniques.html

Neurolymphatic Reflex Points from Touch for Health: http://www.touch4health.com/techniques.html

To stimulate your neurolymphatic reflex points for the lung meridian, rub vigorously up and down on the sternum.

This reflex point corresponds to your diaphragm muscle, which is the dome-shaped muscle deep in your chest cavity that helps you breathe.

You can do a little self test by holding your breath up to 40 seconds, then stimulate the point up and down on your sternum. When you hold your breath again you should discover that you are able to hold your breath for even longer because you have naturally expanded your lung capacity.

Also rub the four points on either side of your sternum at ribs 3 and 4 and 4 and 5.

If any of these points are tender or sore, that indicated a congestion in your lymphatic system. Just keep rubbing until they feel completely pain free. Sometimes you have to keep rubbing for 1 to 2 minutes.

Throughout the day you can rub your neurolymphatic points for the lungs until these points remain free and clear all day.

While you are tracing your lung meridian and stimulating the neurolymphatic points for your lungs you can repeat a series of positive affirmations that strengthen your lungs:

I AM HUMBLE BEFORE THE BEAUTY AND WONDER OF THE UNIVERSE.

I HAVE STRONG HEALTHY LUNGS.

I AM HUMBLE.

I AM MODEST.

I AM FORGIVEN.

I AM MEEK.

I AM TOLERANT.

I SHARE GENEROUSLY.

I APPRECIATE WHAT I HAVE.

I ACCEPT MYSELF EVEN WITH ALL MY SHORTCOMINGS.

I ENJOY BEING WITH PEOPLE.

I RESPECT OTHERS OPINIONS.

I LEARN FROM THE WISDOM OF OTHERS.

I AM MOTIVATED.

I BREATHE IN ALL THAT IS BENEFICIAL FOR MY HIGHEST GOOD.

I BREATHE IN ALL THAT HEALS ME, I BREATHE OUT ALL THAT NO LONGER SERVES FOR MY HIGHEST GOOD.

You can also balance your lung meridian by practicing breathwork.

Resources to Cope with the Coronavirus Pandemic

I’ve been searching around for ways to help everyone get through the Coronavirus, an illness known to attack the respiratory system, hinder breathing and adversely affect people’s lungs both during and after the virus.
We added an extra Saturday morning 10 a.m. yoga class on Zoom. You can find out about joining us at the link.
Turn to Mushti Mudra to release emotional stress when you don’t think you can handle any more anxiety, depression or loneliness. Find out by reading this blog.
And above all I know how profound the breathing exercises in The Little Book of Breathwork can be.
I wrote the book and produced a series of FREE videos of these exercises because I know you can usually cut your anxiety in half in a mere eight minutes. That’s why I called the breath work routine “Eight Minutes to Inner Peace.”
When it’s 2 a.m. and you can’t call your best friend, you can practice the breathing exercises, affirmations and hand mudras to feel better.
When you’re experiencing shortness of breath, anxiety, high blood pressure or don’t know what else to do to make yourself feel better, these are simple tools you can turn to for FREE.
If you are sick with Coronavirus and notice yourself having trouble breathing, you can turn to these breathing exercises, hand mudras and affirmations to redirect your chi and hopefully open up your airways.
