A 3-Minute Practice To Energize Your Body

Feeling sluggish, tired, or like your body needs a little wake-up?

In this quick full-body tapping practice, we’ll use gentle rhythmic tapping from head to toe to bring attention and movement back into the body.

It’s a simple practice to try after sitting for long periods, during an afternoon slump, or anytime you want to feel a little more awake and energized.

At the end, we’ll pause and notice what has shifted, even if you feel just 5% more energy.
