This exercise is called discharge with vibration and the objective of this exercise is to bring any waste or uncomfortably feeling energy or chi from deep down inside the body up to the skin surface and then to get rid of it.
So the feelings of uncomfortable chi or sick chi or waste chi whatever you'd like to call it can be either physical or they can be more mental or emotional so if it's a physical feeling it could be an ache or a pain it could be stiffness it could be a headache it could be a stomach cramp and if it's something which is more mental or emotional it could be something like stress or grief or sadness or anxiety or confusion anything that really has a mental effect on you.
So when you're thinking of this,
What you're thinking of doing is bringing that thing whatever it is you don't want in the body from deep down inside to the surface of the body and the way in which we do that is just by vibrating the body and the vibration is nice and loose and relaxed so just bending the knees feet a shoulder width distance apart and just letting the arms hang just very loosely and just start to vibrate the body up and down.
So as you're doing this now,
Maybe just close your eyes and just think of whatever it is that you don't want just vibrating it up.
To the skin surface.
So that's the skin of the whole of your body.
So the front,
The back,
The head,
The feet,
The hands.
So bringing anything you don't want in the body up to the skin surface and then just using abdominal breathing as you breathe out Just think of releasing that from the skin,
So almost like all the pores open.
On the skin surface and the sick or the waste energy leaves the body like raindrops just floating or evaporating off.
The surface of the skin.
And then you can change your position a little bit just to deal with any areas of discomfort.
If you want to,
If you feel maybe tension in the neck or the shoulders,
You can just bend slightly to one side.
And just feel the stretch in the back,
The upper back and the neck area and then to the other side.
And then you can also lift the hands out in front if that's comfortable.
And to the side.
And just move around a little bit.
Even twisting in the back if it's comfortable for you to do so.
So each time you're breathing out.
Thinking of.
Releasing that waste.
Energy or waste chi from the surface.
Of the body.
And when you've finished it,
You'll know when you've finished,
Really,
Because you'll just feel a lot more comfortable inside.
This exercise is a little bit like having an internal shower.
So often when we come home at the end of a day,
If we've been really busy,
We just would hop in the shower straight away.
Whereas this is a way of giving your body a shower on the inside.
So then just slowly coming back.
Just two.
Standing still.
And then placing one hand on the lower belly with the other hand on top and circling first in one direction and then in the other.
And then you might want to also bring the hands together just generate a little bit of heat and then Just rubbing the face with the heat,
With the energy from the hands.
And that completes the Discharge with Vibration exercise.
Again with that exercise you can use it anytime when you feel a little bit tired,
When you feel maybe a little bit emotional as well.
It will really give you an extra little bit of pep of energy during the day if you have an afternoon slump in energy and you can use it first thing in the morning just to help you wake up as well.
So I hope you enjoyed that.
That's the end of the exercise and I look forward to hearing how you get on with your practice.
