Masunaga Meridian Stretching

Natural stretching for mobility and circulation of energy

​​

Also developed my Shizuto Masunaga, Meridian Stretching was part of his self-care regimen based on balancing the circulation of Ki energy in the meridians through natural movements. Meridian stretching can help regulate internal processes to improve not only flexibility and range of motion, but more subtle processes such as sleep, digestion, and immune function. This practice is also an excellent way to feel the flow of Ki first hand with a little mindful movement practice. Meridian stretching can be used as a solo exercise or in a treatment as assisted stretches and mobilizations.
