"Meridian Pathways" by Chinese Relaxation and Meditation is a serene and immersive journey into the ancient practices of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Released on June 16, 2025, under Respite Records, this 52-minute album is a collection of 30 traditional music tracks designed to harmonize the body's energy pathways, or meridians. Each track, from "Slumber Stretching" to "Recharge Cushion," is crafted to guide you through a series of mindful movements, stretches, and visualizations inspired by Qi Gong, Yoga, Tai Chi, and Meridian Stretches.
The album draws from the principles of acupressure, acupuncture, and reflexology, aiming to stimulate the flow of Qi, or energy, throughout the body. Tracks like "Movement Calming" and "Release Grounding" incorporate gentle, easy-to-follow exercises that soothe the nervous system, ease physical tension, and reduce anxiety. Meanwhile, pieces such as "Blissful Breeze" and "Serene Stream" offer a tranquil backdrop for deep breathing exercises, meditation, and mindful activities.
