INTRODUCTION

In Traditional Chinese Medicine the Gallbladder system is paired with the Liver and both are associated with the season of Spring. The Gallbladder pathway of Qi flow starts at the outside corner of each eye and zig-zags around the head, down the back of the neck to the shoulders, and then down the sides of the torso and legs to end at the outside corner of the 4th toe.

The healthy function of the Gallbladder include:
1. Good posture, flexibility, coordination and balance;
2. Storing bile for the healthy breakdown of fats;
3. Courage to follow through with decisions;
4. Physical and emotional clear vision (along with the Liver).

The unhealthy functions of the Gallbladder include:
1. Headaches and migraines;
2. Pains in the sides of the body (including gallbladder pain);
3. Nausea, vomiting, constipation;
4. Neck and shoulder pain;
5. Sciatic pain, pains and cramps in the legs;
6. Lack of courage and fighting spirit, no boldness to follow through with your decisions, low self-esteem.
7. Vertigo.

QIGONG EXERCISES

Any Qigong methods involving the stimulation and stretching of the Gallbladder channel along the sides of the body can be helpful. The three exercises in this video show you an example of the types of movements which can help create the conditions for open and unobstructed Qi flow in the Gallbladder channel.

1. Holding the Qi ball in the "Standing Like a Tree" posture (https://spacetorelax.com/lesson-31-qigong-recharge-exercises-replay-of-live-qigong-class/) and turning the body from side to side.

2. Cross body stretch of the arms.

3. Supporting Heaven method with a pause when the arms are fully extended above your head to further extend and lean to the right and left.

ACUPRESSURE POINTS

1. Jianjing (Gallbladder 21). To help relieve pain and discomfort in the neck, shoulders and head. NOTE: CONTRAINDICATED IN PREGNANCY - DO NOT USE!

2. Yanglingquan (Gallbladder 34). For digestive issues, gallbladder pain, sciatic pain and leg cramps.
