The Gallbladder meridian runs from the eyes, along the side of the head, down the side of the neck, through the shoulders, along the side of the ribs, to the hips, knees, ankles and then ends on the 4th toes.
This meridian happens to be very prone to blockages. Due to its location, blocks in the Gallbladder meridian often play a role in the energetic cause of headaches, jaw tension, shoulder pain, sciatic pain, hip pain, knee pain, ankle pain, and foot pain.
3 simple movements to nurture your Gallbladder meridian:
Raise your arms over your head – and keep breathing!
Use a big inhale to stretch the ribs while you keep lifting your arms up toward the sky. This only works if you keep your breath moving. If you feel too restricted to breathe, bring your arms down until you find the right height where you can breathe and stretch without creating any pain.
Stand tall and bend to one side – and keep breathing!
Try this with your arms up over head if possible. A little at a time goes a long way. Do not create any strain or pain as you move. Be sure to bend on both sides to open the Gallbladder meridian on each side.
Stand tall and twist to one side – and keep breathing!
Try this with your arms up over head if possible. A little at a time goes a long way. Do not create any strain or pain as you move. Be sure to bend on both sides to open the Gallbladder meridian on each side.
