For the Inner Mother, leg squats are an effective exercise for reopening this channel, as is lying on one's back, lifting one's legs up 90 degrees and holding that position while breathing.
While Dahn Yoga has helped tens of thousands of Americans relieve their muscular tension and ease their mental stress, the regimen has the potential to accomplish much more than that. With some careful meditation and focused relaxation, along with stretching and body-tapping, practitioners of the discipline may open up blocked energy channels in the body.
As part of its Meridian of the Month series, Dahn Yoga has announced that April’s featured energy channel is the Spleen Meridian, also known as the “Inner Mother” for its wide-ranging ability to heal the body.
The spleen is involved in the creation and storage of red blood cells, and also plays a role in immune functions. Blockages in the Spleen Meridian can lead to loose bowels, inattention, memory difficulties and menstrual complications.
By rebalancing the flow of the body’s life energy, or Ki, through its meridian channels, individuals may find themselves feeling happier, healthier, less wound up and more at peace with those around them.
For the Inner Mother, leg squats are an effective exercise for reopening this channel, as is lying on one’s back, lifting one’s legs up 90 degrees and holding that position while breathing.
Using Dahn Yoga energy and meridian channeling exercises, yoga enthusiasts often find that heretofore unknown reserves of inner energy can be released.
