GLOW
REDRAW YOUR NEURAL PATHWAYS WITH MINDFULNESS focus on yr breathing.
again, again.
did you lose it? that’s okay.
bring your attention back to your breathing. there is no judgment here. if your mind wanders, bring it back.
scary thought? acknowledge it. bring yourself back - it’s ok. focus on your breath moving through your body. trace it to your fingertips and back.
it’s okay. just breathe.
TAPPING yrself CALM do this when you’re feeling stressed, after something unpleasant happens, every morning - tapping along these pressure points hits your kidney meridian, allowing your energy to flow to the best possible level. WHEN YR KIDNEY ENERGY IS LOW, YOU ARE LIKELY TO FEEL STRESSED, ANXIOUS AND AGITATED.
1. Use the first 2 fingers of each hand to tap firmly just below the points on the collar bone. 2. Make the 4 fingers of your right hand into a line and tap the middle of your sternum between the nipples. 3. Draw an imaginary line straight down from your nipples to the edge of your rib cage, then move slightly away from the middle of your body until you hit the dent between two ribs. These points can be a little tender. Use the first 2 fingers of both hands to tap these points firmly. bonus points: google EFT!
THE ATLAS POINT the atlas point acts as a reset button for the body - rub it and push down on it hard if you feel like you’ve been working hard on something, need a break or want to stifle a sneeze or an itch.
ZIP YRSELF UP
stand straight - and place your open palm over where your legs meet.
concentrate on zipping yourself up from down to up. you got this and there is no doing it wrong - focus. bring your hand up in front of your stomach and continue to move upwards in a smooth line until you reach your forehead, then bring your arm away and repeat 5x.
THE HOOK UP the hook up is an exercise that syncs up your energies, connects your mind + body and makes you more conscious of both. you might feel heavier or imbalanced after this one, but you’re adjusting. 1.place the middle finger of one hand in your navel and the other between your eyebrows (figure out which one of these feels more comfortable for you!) 2.press both fingers in and upwards as you breathe in, and hold for 10-15 secs. 3. you usually feel the need to sigh or breathe deeply when you re done, but repeat three or four times.
buzzing in yr head? rub your temples. your cranial sutures don t ďŹ nish closing until you re in your late twenties (some go until yr sixties!) this means that your cranial plates can shift around a little. stress + tension causes them to clench and tighten, preventing your perception of light thru the top of yr head. this can lead to brain fog. rubbing your temples can ďŹ x that and alleviate that tension. (at any rate, you ll feel better.)
