This exercise stimulates, strengthens, softens the intestines and awakens thedrum (2nd chakra). As you accumulate energy in your abdomen you will experience an enhanced sense of confidence and wellbeing.If you eat too much meat or have poor eating habits, the food does not digest well, and stagnates in the intestines. This results in constipation and other gastrointestinal problems. Toxins form, which are often responsible for lethargy, headaches and skin problems. Peristalsis becomes compromised and causes age acceleration. Belly drumming helps to relieve this condition and restore normal peristaltic movement.1. Stand with your feet shoulder width apart and your knees slightly bent. Lengthen and relax your spine. Relax your shoulders, neck and arms.2. Place your open hands or yourfists on your lower abdomen and begin patting in a rhythmic motion. Increase the pressure of patting until it becomes a (reasonable) striking motion and repeat.As yourabdomen becomes stronger,gradually increase the repetitions to 8 10 minutes. Practice daily.*Belly Drumming is a key exercise to release the effects of excessive thinking and restores the autonomic nervous system, creatingwater up, fire downenergy condition.>>see 1st Principle of Energy

Intestine ExercisebyArrow| Mar 11, 2011 |Basic Meridian Exercises,Cold Hands & Feet,Constipation,Diarrhea,Healing Tips,High Blood Pressure,Lethargy & Fatigue,Menstrual Disorders,Shoulder Pain,Skin Disorders|6 commentsBreath and internal massage of the organs combine to move toxins from the internal organs, creates water up fire down energy condition and effectively strengthens and cultivates energy in the Dahn jon (2nd chakra)Does your breath flow comfortably and deeply, creating peace and joy in the present moment? Abdominal breathing is only effective if the intestines are soft and flexible. Most people, when they begin Meridian exercise have cold & stiff intestines.The lower abdomen is filled with the small and large intestines, which together hold about one third of the bodys blood volume at any given time. Therefore, a smooth and unimpeded flow of blood through the intestines is important for efficient circulation of both energy and blood in the body.The underlying cause of health problemsare the toxins within our internal organs. Unhealthy eating habits and excessive stress cause your intestines to become cold and stiff, which prevents food from being completely excreted, which then releases toxins. This is called autointoxicationself-poisoning by the bodys own toxins. This also negatively impacts the proper absorption of nutrients and minerals from the healthy foods we eat.Intestine Exercise stimulates your intestines and improves peristalsis of the colon, which removes the feces along the walls of the intestine and relieves constipation. Because one-third of your bodys blood flows through your abdomen, Intestine Exercise is great not only for your abdomen, but for the circulation of your entire body. As the solar plexus is stimulated, bladder and reproductive functions are often enhanced, improving even feminine illnesses caused by cold energy. Your skin may also improve as rashes, acne, and skin spots are alleviated by the release of toxins.How to do Intestine Exercise1.Put your hands on your lower abdomen.2.Breathe in and push your abdomen out, feeling some pressure.3.Breathe out and pull your abdomen towards your back.4.Repeat 1-3 at least 50 times.5.Count a motion of pushing out and pulling in as one.6.Rub your abdomen clockwise.

1st Principal Water Up, Fire DownbyArrow| Mar 12, 2011 |Principals Of Energy|0 commentsDirectingthe energy to make a warm healthy body and a calm clear mindThe 1st of 3 traditional health principles, Water Up Fire Down, also referred to as the microcosmic circuit in various yogic and traditional Chinese healing practices, offers us an important balancing perspective.According to this principle, cool water energy produced in the kidneys is should travel upward to the head through an energy channel along the spine. Warm fire energy, produced in the heart, is should travel down to the abdomen. Thus, good health is characterized by a warm belly, which is good for the abdominal organs, and a cool head, equated with a clear mind.Negative health consequences come with reversed energy circulation. When the energy center in our lower abdomen is weak, its hard to hold fire energy in the abdomen. Poor stress management constricts the chest and forces fire energy back up toward the head. Symptoms of this reversed energy flow include a warm head, a cloudy mind, headaches, irregular digestion, anxious thoughts, shoulder tension and is the primary precursor for most modern disease and ailment.As water up-fire down restores the physical energy builds in thedahn jon(lower abdomen-2nd chakra), healthy energy circulation restores in the digestive system. The bodys blood supply is purified and nutritional absorption is optimized. Clear, fresh energy and blood circulate through the entire body.>>see 2nd principle of energy2nd Principal Physical Energy Builds, Emotional Energy Purifies, Spiritual Energy BrightensbyArrow| Mar 12, 2011 |Principals Of Energy|1 commentAs power builds in the dahn jon, the heart opens, the mind clearsThe human being must develop in 3 ways in order to reach a state of fulfilment1ston the physical level, then in terms of character the emotional level, and 3rd the conciousness spiritual level.As physical energy builds proper energy circulation restores, tensions and old stresses in the body, emotions and old habitual thought patterns open to be purified, cleared and released. As flexibility returns to the body, the brain becomes more flexible as well, this is known as neuroplasticity.By retraining oneself to focus inside and connect the cognitive mind with the physical and energy body through the breath it becomes immediately apparent the entire human system naturally works to rebalance. Associated mental, emotional, and physical patterns rise to the surface for elimination and reselection purposes.Through the power of observation related to personal habit and simple exercises to learn to control the mind, body, emotions, and energy the practitioner reevaluates priorities and desires, and becomes adept to empower through choice in living practice.>>see 3rd prinicple of energy

3rd Principal Where Mind Goes, Energy Follows, Blood Follows, Matter FormsbyArrow| Mar 12, 2011 |Principals Of Energy|0 commentsThe mind controls the energy, the energy controls the bodyAll things material manifest from the invisible, from information. Actually, the mind directs all action through the medium of energy. Therefore the quality of information that is nurtured in the brain determines the focus of energy expenditure, and life experience.These 3 principals are impersonal in nature and are always in effect whether one is conscious of them or not.When the information from True Self governs the energy body and the physical body is healthy emotions are rich and mature and actions are aligned with ones deepest desires.Dr. Masaru Emoto is well known for his work with water crystals as shown below. These water crystals were formed by information through different mediums (meditation, music etc.) and frozen into the forms you see below. The 4 images on the left developed through positive and nurturing messages such as love, unity, beauty etc., the image on the far right developed from the message you make me sick.*****Eighty percent of the human body is comprised of water! This illustrates how the messages we accept as true and send ourselves and others is manifest in our body and life experience.

Chakra TrainingEnergy is thebridge betweenbody and mindThe mind controls the energy, the energy controls the body. With this awareness we can awaken, self empower, and create change. We use the body to control the mind, and the mind to control the body. When energy circulates freely, we have a healthy body, joyful emotions (less stress), anda peaceful, sparkling clear mind.

Energy runs through a network of pathways in the body that are called meridians. Chakras are energy centres in the body. A chakra is a hub in which the energies of mind, body and spirit are intertwined and sent through the meridians for use in our daily lives.There are seven of these energy centres, running down the midline of the body. When the chakrasarefunctioning well, we are healthy in mind, body and spirit.Each chakra governs a specific kind of energy related to various human attributes.In general terms the upper chakras are responsible for spiritual (information), the middle chakras, emotional and the lower withour physical. As we properly circulate and balance the energies in each of theses areas and with each other we create balance and harmony into deeper levels of awareness and peace.By learning to pay attention to your energy system, you learn to look deeply at the underlying causes of any physical problems and mental difficulties you may have.Heart Drum Beat ChakraWorkshop is a 3 part training program specifically targeting chakra development and alignment. You can feel, activate, and balance all seven chakras through this training.
