While the navel is a good starting point for most people who are
healthy, those who have high blood pressure or stomach and in-
testinal problems, it is not good for those with low blood pressure
because it causes the blood to drop.
Gastro-Intestinal Problems...............................................
Anyone with gastro-intestinal problems will have more difficulty in
opening the meridian because the digestive organs are linked to it.
Each of these organs must be cleansed and strengthened before
the route may be completed. Your digestion and elimination will
greatly improve during your work on the Functional Channel.
Remember that once you complete the Microcosmic Orbit and
are able to collect more power you will be able to cure yourself.
You will be able to bring your life force to the afflicted area.
