    Closing Movement 2 - Massaging the Belt Vessel

    ‘The Dai Mai is translated as the ‘girdling’ meridian or the ‘belt’ meridian as in
    its trajectory it circles the waist region of the body. Dai Mai essentially has the
    function of bundling the meridians on the horizontal plane & keeping them
    functioning in good order.
    ‘If we observe the Chinese characters used to
    depict Dai Mai we nd that ‘Dai’ is drawn as a belt
    that has valuable items hanging from it. Thus, it
    keeps these valuable trinkets in a certain ‘order’
    and in their proper ‘place’ just as the Dai Mai
    keeps the other meridians running vertically ‘up &
    down’ in their place and proper order. In doing so,
    the Dai Mai keeps the energetic ow of the
    individual on course and owing in a harmonious
    manner conducive to the elements and natural
    cyclical changes.’

    Continuing from Closing Movement 1, trace your Belt Vessel with your hands.
    Start with your hands over your lower back and then rub your palms forward
    along the vessel, leading with your ngers.
    Move your hands slowly as you stimulate and harmonize this meridian. Trace
    the Belt Vessel forward till your hands meet in front of your abdomen.

    “The belt vessel is one of the ‘Eight Extraordinary


    Channels’ of the meridian system. It is said that its
    pathway is like a belt encircling the waist where the
    belt of one’s pants would, such that it connects (统束)
    all the vertical channels of the body.”
    Master Jiao Guorui (translated by Ariel Maayan)
