Hello and welcome to another gorgeous week,

Today I would like to share with you a simple little exercise that will not only take your stress levels down but can also be used just before commencing your meditation practice.  Either way it helps to realign your energies and decrease tension.

This exercise calms the Triple Warmer energy meridian.  Triple Warmer is our energetic watchdog, keeping us safe from danger and involved in activating the fight, flight or freeze response.  Unfortunately, in this modern age, TW can become overwhelmed and stay on high alert continually which  is not so great for our health and well-being long-term.

I like to call this exercise Soothing the Inner Savage because when overly stressed or reactive the inner cave wo/man can take over.  

1.  Rub your hands together briskly and firmly until you feel heat and energy generated.
2. Pull your hands apart about 10 cms or so and feel the energy building – you might feel tingles, heat, resistance between your hands.  If you don’t feel anything, don’t worry, it’s still working.
3. Now place your hands near your temples and gradually begin moving them, without touching the skin, around the temples, behind the ears, down the outside of the neck over the shoulders and finally placing them on your chest at your heart centre.
4. Let them rest there, gently touching the heart, as you breath in and out slowly for at least 3 deep breaths.

You may notice tingles, heat or pulsing move through your body as your energy shifts. Repeating this three times can be highly beneficial.

This is an incredibly simple yet potent exercise to add to your toolbox. It can be done almost anywhere if you feel the flame of stressful energy rising.

From my heart to yours,
