Which asanas to stress the conception vessel

Post by Nicole Schulz »

Hey! Just recently I was asked if there are also asanas that stress the conception vessel - any ideas here?

Thank you for your support!

The Conception Vessel Meridian

Post by Bernie »

Certainly! The Conception Vessel meridian runs along the front side of the torso; the stomach and chest. Any time you feel a stress in this region you are stimulating the CV meridian. Think of poses like deep back bends that stretch the front side of the body: Camel, Seal, full Swan.

Another way to stimulate energy along this line is by circulating awareness, along with the breath, through the Microcosmic Orbit.

Hope this helps.
Cheers
