EXERCISES FOR CHRONIC FATIGUE AND CHRONIC PAIN (CFS/ ME, FIBROMYALGIA, LYME DISEASE, BURNOUT)

This wonderful movement exercise will bring you gently in contact with your body by carefully stimulating your spine and the upper body.
It also stimulates the Urinary Bladder meridian, the Gallbladder meridian, the hip area, beautifully opens up the chest and invites deeper breathing.
Activating the Urinary Bladder meridian can be effective with back pain, stiff neck, occipital headache, general tension in the body, fatigue, urinary problems. It can also help to balance emotions like fear and anxiety. The Urinary Bladder plays a big role in Chinese Medicine in restoring the body’s energy.
Along the sides of the body we can find the Gallbladder meridian, which makes its way down from the head towards the feet. The Gallbladder in Chinese Medicine keeps our digestion moving, controls sinews and supports the body’s flexibility and sleep. It can also help with symptoms like flatulence, nervousness, depression or side headaches.

ABOUT THE VIDEO SERIES:

Each video is designed specifically to stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system, which enhances the relaxation and restoration of the mind, the body, and its functions. These exercises also gently stimulate energy in the body. Opening and stretching the fascia enhances the lymph and blood flow, which also helps to release muscle tension and soreness in the body, and increase your range of motion and flexibility.
Each part of the sequence can be exercised as a separate movement or as a whole sequence. Each movement/ sequence can be practiced in a gentle or in a more dynamic way. You can play with the quality and the pace of movement according to your current level of energy.
Please be mindful before and during each exercise, pause in between, for example, in a short Savasana pose (1-2 min) or child’s pose (1-2 min) in order to listen and to observe any signs of exhaustion, etc.
The process of slowing down together with your mindfulness can become a real teacher on a journey of healing and coming home to your body.
