Massaging the Liver and Gall Bladder Meridians

The main liver meridian starts at the inside of the big toenail and travels up the inside of the leg through the groin and crossed the abdomen to the opposite side of the body, from there it travels to just above the waist where it angles up to the liver and stops directly below the nipple.

The liver meridian is paired with the gall bladder meridian which starts at the outer eye and winds its way around the side of the forehead and ear down the neck to the highest point on the trapezius (shoulder) muscle. From here it descents to the chest and lower abdomen and down the outside of the leg and foot to the lateral side of the tip of the fourth toe.

To massage these two channels firmly pound with a soft fist down the outside of your legs and up the inside. This helps to loosen up the tissues around the meridians and help the energy to flow more freely.
