Energetically Shifting Deep Habits

Posted on by

This Energy exercise works by bringing various meridians into balance. Relaxing the defensive mechanisms, supporting the metabolism functions and activating the radiant circuits all work together to help you feel safe and supported in making changes. It is generally suggested that you do it four or more times per day to shift deep habits.

  1. Cover your eyes with your fingers. Inhale. Exhale.
  2. Inhale with your eyes still covered. Exhale while dragging your fingers across your eyes and out to your temples.
  3. Inhale while dragging your fingers up over your ears. Exhale while dragging  your fingers down behind your ears to your shoulders. Hang your fingers on your shoulders at the neck.
  4. Inhale as you cross your arms, placing your fingers on the opposite shoulders. Exhale, smoothing your hands down your arms to the forearms.
  5. Inhaling, place your hands flat across the ribs under your bust area.
  6. Exhale while sweeping your fingers down your legs and off your feet at the toes.
  7. Inhale while sweeping your fingers back up your legs to under your arms.
  8. Exhale while sweeping your fingers down and off your body at the sides of your waist.

Energy Tip for Daily Stess

Posted on by

Stress has an immediate impact on every system in your body. The daily stresses of life trigger primitive brain centers into an emergency response condition.  Up to 80% of the blood leaves your forebrain to support the fight-or-flight response and stress chemicals pour into the bloodstream.  The primitive brain structures don’t distinguish whether the alarm was set off by something small like a broken shoelace or a huge physical threat.

 

“Oh My God” Points

With simple Energy Medicine techniques you can reprogram your nervous system to no longer set off the crisis response in the face of daily stresses. Holding your Neurovascular points returns blood to your forebrain and reconditions your response to stress.

Try this simple technique the next time you are hit by stress, feel overwhelmed, or highly emotional:

  1. Lightly place your fingertips on your forehead, covering the frontal eminences, the “Oh my God” points (p. 234).
  2. Put your thumbs on your temples next to your eyes, breathing deeply.
  3. Sink deeply into the emotion and stress as you hold the points for three to five minutes.
  4. As blood returns to your forebrain over the next few minutes you will begin to think more clearly.

It is that simple!

Dancing with Pain

greenPainYou’re healing along fine from an injury, and all of a sudden the progress stops. You aren’t getting better, nothing is helping and the pain and limitations are still there. You’re doing all the “right” things; physical therapy helped, massage helped, other things have helped, until now.

You’ve been stopped dead in your tracks. Do you have to live with it the rest of your life? Maybe it’s just that you’re getting older and this is just what happens. Do you have to settle for increased aches and pains as the days and years pass by?

I had a client that had been in a collision and was taken to the hospital, unconscious. She was tended to and sent home, with a prescription for physical therapy. She followed the protocol and received benefit from it, but now she was stuck. She wasn’t getting any better – the pain, limitations and poor bone healing was causing a lot of stress in her life. She didn’t know what the problem was, she didn’t know what to do and she didn’t know where to get help.

How frustrating is that?!?!

Abundance is our Future

There are so many wonderful things going on in our world – so many people helping people, joining together for the good of all or working independently helping one person at a time which then ripples out into the world.

Where do you put your time, focus and energy? On worry, fear, escape? On joy, optimism, contribution? Do you see possibility or road blocks? Are you saying “YES” to life with the willingness to experience the richness that exists?

Dr. William K. Larkin says “We are heliotropic in our nature. That means literally that we are sun-seeking, but it really means that we are made to go toward growth and light, toward uplifting and encouraging. We are made for life and living, not for fear and withdrawal and a life of caution.” I believe that is true.

So if you like to read the news before bed – or first thing in the morning with your coffee or tea, try some uplifting news…

The TED Talks are full of “ideas worth spreading” and are coming to Portland March 31st. Here’s one -

Abundance is our Future: Onstage at TED2012, Peter Diamandis makes a case for optimism — that we’ll invent, innovate and create ways to solve the challenges that loom over us. “I’m not saying we don’t have our set of problems; we surely do. But ultimately, we knock them down.”

Quiet the Chaos, Increase your Stamina

Are you wound up from the holidays or still in the midst of it? When you get into the overwhelm of stress and exhaustion, your meridians begin to run backwards, compelling you to rest. This makes you feel even more zapped.

Tap or rub your K-27 points (see below) to restore the natural direction of the meridian flow. This gives you increased stamina. In fact, Tapping or rubbing your K-27′s is a simple exercise that will energize you if you are feeling drowsy and help you focus if you are having difficulty concentrating.

To tap your K-27 points do the following:
1. Place your fingers on your K-27 points.
2. Tap or rub vigorously for 15-30 seconds.
3. Focus on your breathing, in through your nose and out through your mouth.

Not sure if you’re tapping the right spot? To locate your K-27 points:

  • Place your fingers on your collarbone and move them inward towards the U-shaped notch at the top of your breastbone.
  • Move your fingers to the bottom of the U and then move down and out about an inch to find the spots.
  • For most people there is a soft spot or indentation there at the location of their K-27 points.
