Exercises:
These can be used to do color visualizations to help support the organs and systems.
Another way to support the organ is to hold or meditate on something made of the element (ie) a metal spoon, standing by a waterfall, meditating with a candle burning, etc.
The times are when the energy is most active in that meridian. If you have trouble falling asleep between 11 pm and 1 am try putting one hand over the gallbladder (right lower ribcage and the other hand over the heart) or if you always wake up around 3 am, put one hand over the liver and the other over the lungs. That should help you fall asleep.
These visualizations can also help to better deal with emotions.

Bladder Meridian and Spine Correlations

T5 BL15 Heart
T9 BL18 Liver
T10 BL19 Gallbladder
T11 BL20 Spleen
T12 BL21 Stomach

Correlations between the thoracic, lumbar and sacral spine, bladder meridian, organs and acupuncture meridians.

Treatment Ideas: The three components form a kind of triangle. If you treat the acupuncture point with acupuncture, acupressure, sound, aromatherapy etc. then the organ and the vertebral level improves. If you work on the spinal mobility and integrity then energy and Qi flows through the acupuncture point better and improves the organ. If you do visceral manipulation or mobilization to the organ then vertebral function and acupuncture meridian flow improves as well.
