Our Lung Meridian
Our Lung Meridian holds the key to how we give and receive in our lives.
We either grieve and let go from a space of expansion and trust that the next right thing will arrive for us or from a space of fear and contraction that we will not survive without it.
We go through a million mini endings and beginnings every single day and how we cope with these will have an affect on the energetics of our Lung Meridian.
With a balanced Lung Meridian we breathe easily, our chest will feel light, our heart will feel open. We grieve from a healthy space of trust that we are whole in ourselves in every state. We take responsibility for ourselves and we feel aligned on our path.
When our Lung Meridian is out of balance we may feel heavy chested, unable to connect fully with life, to breathe in the new, to receive support or love. We may feel overly protective of our space and even material things, living from a space of victimhood, blame or lack. Life is happening to us not for us.
A quick way to take an audit of where our Lung Meridian is at is to sit and practice 1 minute of box breath (inhale for 4, hold for 4, exhale for 4, hold for 4) notice as you breathe where there may be resistance. Resistance on the inhale may indicate that you are not feeling totally safe to share/give yourself to life at the moment. Resistance on the exhale may indicate an inability or lack of capacity to receive life at the moment. Use this information to empower how you move forward. Notice how certain thoughts can instantly change our breathing too, choose whether they are expansive thoughts or whether they are making you contract.
Massage Lung 1 point to release any stress in the meridian, taking long, slow, deep breaths.
Lung 1 can be found on both sides of your body, mid way along your collarbone, 2 fingers width down your chest. Add some eucalyptus oil to make this a little ritual.
