The Central Meridian is the core channel of the human energy system. It is your direct link to Source Energy. In yoga it’s called the Shuhumna and in Chinese it is called Zhong Mai. Through Qigong you can learn to awaken your Central Meridian, charge it with energy and align your Central Meridian with the forces of heaven and earth and fulfill your human role as a conduit of light. This is done through a specific sequence of breathing exercises and Qigong movements that promote flow through the spine.

This routine combines basic Qigong and Neidan practices that I have learned over 20 years of training. Qigong targets the meridians and spinal cord, while Neidan is an internal alchemy practice that uses breath and intention to move and transform Qi. Remember when it comes to circulation and refining Qi, consistent practice over time is the key!

WHAT IS THE CENTRAL MERIDIAN?

You can think of the Central Meridian as the main highway of Qi where energy traffic flows up and down the center of your body. The Central Meridian is the first meridian to form in a fetus. Children have very open Central Meridians but in adulthood, most people do not hold it in alignment with Heaven and Earth continuously. In addition, many people have weak, broken and even fragmented Central Meridian due to trauma and overwork. If the energy in this channel is blocked or weak, one may feel unfulfilled in life and without purpose. Since this energy feeds all the meridians, a weak Central Meridian also results in fatigue.
