There are many ways to re-balance channels, each with different advantages and disadvantages. One way is to use a _submarine swap_ (e.g. +Loop-Out+) as described previously in this chapter. Another way to re-balance is to simply wait for routed payments that flow in the opposite direction. If your node is well connected, when a specific route becomes exhausted in one direction, the same route becomes available in the opposite direction. Other nodes may "discover" that route in the opposite direction and start using it as part of their payment path, thereby re-balancing the funds again.
A third way to re-balance channels is to purposefully create a _circular route_ that sends a payment from your node back to your node, via the Lightning Network. By sending a payment out on a channel with large local capacity and arranging the path so that it returns to your node on a channel with large remote capacity, both of those channels will become more balanced. An example of a circular route re-balancing strategy can be seen in <<circular-rebalancing>>.
