The principle of cleansing MTM is the same we used in asanas: to open a channel we must consequently stretch it to pass the strain long all the channel.
1. Cleansing pericardium #
Starting position. Standing, hands long the body. Palms and fingers are straight and parallel to the floor. Inhaling, hold this position of fingers and raise your arms by sides, so that the tension goes by the inner side of arms from the fingers down to the ribs.
Criteria. This exercise is effective, only if fingers are strained at the maximum, elbows are straight and shoulders aren’t lifted. All these conditions are difficult to do (as well as very useful) for people with depressed Anahata and the problem meridian. Where the tension dis-appears, the channel is «clogged».
2. Cleansing of three heaters meridian #
Starting position. The same, but the hands are clenched in fists, twisted in order that the back of the palm is parallel to the floor.
Technique is the same as in previous exercise.
3. Cleansing of the heart #
Starting position. Standing, hands apart parallel to the floor, fingers stretched out.
Technique. Inhaling, twist your palms, so that the tension would go from the little finger up the hand to the chest.
4. Cleansing of lungs meridian #
The same as in the previous, but the strain should go from the thumb to the intraclavicular hollow.
5. Cleansing of rectum #
As in the exercise 3, but clenching fists. The tension goes from the index knuckle to the neck.
6. Cleansing of small intestine #
I propose to my reader to find techniques of cleansing six leg meridians on his own, taking as a base the described principle and MTM schemes, given in Appendix 1.
