Here is a meditative detoxification exercise that focuses on flushing out accumulated toxins into the meridians to be cleansed out through the pressure points. If you suffer withdrawal symptoms from getting over addictions or just want a thorough cleansing of mind, body and spirit, this qigong exercise is designed with this in mind.

Practice caution with this exercise: possible side effects, including cramping, headaches, vertigo, nausea, fatigue, muscle soreness and diarrhea, are an indication of excessive purging. Reduce the duration of practice so as to reduce the intensity of the cleansing. Gradually increase the length of practice when fewer toxins remain to be flushed out of the system.
