1. Pierce The Earth
This sequence grounds your entire nervous system through linking the connective tissue, skin and organs to the earth, which will influence the polarity of the body’s electrical system, increasing negative ions, and balancing out the sympathetic and parasympathetic systems. Charged particles from anxiety will settle down quickly as will your overheated brain.
2. Release The Fire
When you just can’t calm down from rage, blame, hyperactivity, needing a fix, aggression or mania.
This sequence releases frenetic electricity that gets trapped in your lungs, liver, heart and nervous system. By focusing your magnetism and directing it out through the palms, you are creating a field. Transferring immense force through the connective tissue will cause an equal and opposite reaction in the body’s internal systems, moving the electrical field outward, creating more space and opening circulation as well.
3. Open Space & Grow The Branches
Do this for feelings of fear, disconnection or disassociation
Stress and anxiety can manifest as internal constriction and the building up of heat and friction from not wanting to face reality as it is.
The body/ mind are looking for a fix to feel better. Stress causes a large disconnect in our nervous system from our environment. Becoming more relaxed and engaged in the face of anxiety is a great way to settle in and then ultimately use your power not anxiety to find a solution.
This series of positions puts the nervous system into a non-defended receptive position, signaling the mind and body to calm down and receive while realizing you are not under attack. Once you can open up to being here fully, you can do the second position which enables you to build a relationship to being open, expanded, strong and connected.
Any additional notes you would like to add?
When facing chronic stress, excess pressure or challenging times, it is critical to release the “auto- pilot” mind and its mental pollution and engage your own internal intention and value system. You can do this through increasing focus-capacity and learning to listen to your body signals in calm and focused states. Only the body will tell you when you are truly in balance. The mind and its many addictions, desires, rationalizations and fantasies can lie and overshadow the truth of the body. Finding your center and stabilizing your force will lead you to a sober place to enjoy where you are now in your body.
