Transcript

The metal element. Lung enlarging testing. The lung meridian begins on the upper chest, Just in and down from the shoulder. It starts between the first and second ribs. And it runs all the way down the arm on the thumb side of the edge of the arm as your palm is face up until it ends at the end of the thumb. And if you flip your hand over so the nails are pointing up, The large intestine meridian begins at the very tip of the index finger. The back of the hand. And you'll find it runs pretty much in line with the lung meridian. It runs up and along the top of the shoulder towards the neck. And then it flows diagonally. When it reaches the jaw, It continues its path up towards the nose. And then we move to the other side and repeat the same exercise exactly the same on the other side of the body. And if you have an injury or a wound or a missing or prosthetic limb or digit along any part of these meridians, You can still work that side either by using the same tapping motion in the air above the body or where it would be. Allow yourself to be as you are. Noticing emotions and thoughts and sensations as they come and go. Just noticing.
