Class 3 ~ Empower Yourself & Play | 8/9

Our final class in this course is another more balanced class in terms of yin and yang, like class one. This class emphasises the point that we want to awaken our tremor mechanism to cultivate our potential, empower ourselves, and cultivate vitality to do the things we love to do in life. We can have fun and play even as we purge the things that don't serve us, that may not be so comfortable to navigate.

In this class, we bring in the analogy that we are like a Human Antennae with an electromagnetic biofield. As we embody SM, our antenna's capacity to feel becomes more sensitive and simultaneously more resilient, given that we are embodying this potent innate regulation tool.

Generally, SM is more of an inside-out approach to healing as compared to most techniques out there; however, everything is relative. In this class, we explore shaking our extremities like our feet/ankles, hands/arms, and face muscles, and then allowing that to stimulate tremoring towards our core.

Transcript

Hey,

Welcome to class four of the Shaking Medicine Beginners Course.

Shaking Medicine is about awakening this innate therapeutic tremor mechanism to empower ourselves.

So my aim in Shaking Medicine is for you to be empowered with your innate mechanism to awaken that thing up and move it through you.

And the more and more we do that,

We can be intuitive and creative and playful in our expression of exploring Shaking Medicine.

So remember,

It's empowering.

I want you to be empowered with it.

And it's meant to be ever more intuitive.

In this class today,

We're gonna look at self-regulating with the eyes,

And we're gonna look at a little bit of tremoring more in the extremities because even though Shaking Medicine is mostly an inside-out approach,

It can also be an outside-in approach.

We can go extremities to the inside or the insides to the outsides.

And basically,

The more we do Shaking Medicine,

The easier it'll be to get the shaking going through all the parts of our bodies,

Including the more subtle parts like the extremities of the fingers,

Toes,

Feet,

Even the face muscles,

The eyes might get tremoring.

So we have like a human biofield,

An electromagnetic field.

This is an electrical nervous system practice,

And that information flows,

That electricity flows through our nervous system,

A lot of it through our central nervous system,

Inner spine,

And when a current flows,

It creates an electromagnetic field,

So we all have a human biofield.

And so an analogy I like to use is it's like we're like a human antenna where we're emanating a vibe and where we can also feel others' vibes.

And the more we do this,

The more sensitive we become,

And the more our field grows,

And the more we can feel others' fields,

But also we are more resilient at the same time because this is a tool that we use to create the sensitivity,

And that gives us the resilience.

So standing in mountain stance,

I want you to plug into the earth,

Center yourself,

Balance yourself,

Embracing your arms so that your palms face towards your belly,

Okay?

And now belly breathing,

Abdominal breathing,

Inhale,

Fill up,

Your energy field,

Your biofield expands,

And exhale,

It kind of condenses inside of you,

Particularly your belly.

Two more like that,

Inhale.

Exhale.

Inhale,

A little longer,

Slower,

Deeper.

This is our baseline breath and shaking medicine.

Parasympathetic breathing.

Exhale all the way out.

Bringing your hands in prayer for swimming dragon,

We're in our warmup phase today with all with qigong,

So prayer to the left,

Gaze to the right.

We push the hands away,

And look,

It's kind of squeezing the chest,

The shoulders,

The neck,

And then we relax to center.

Inhale.

Exhale,

Hands right,

Gaze left.

Let's continue like this,

Inhale to center.

Exhale,

Turn and twist.

The knees can bend a little bit,

So you're in a gentle chair-like squat.

Inhale.

Go with your breath in qigong.

Inhale.

Option to wag your tailbone in the direction of your hands so there isn't a third little extra twist going on to get the whole spine into it.

Other direction.

In the center.

And then let's do cloud hands.

I'm sharing a few of my favorite qigong exercises today.

Let's start with the hips.

What we wanna do is make an infinity with our pelvis,

So we basically shift the weight to one leg,

Rotate the hip back,

Shift the weight to the other leg,

Rotate the other hip back.

Shift and rotate.

Find a rhythm.

So a lot going on here.

You could be massaging the bottoms of your feet.

The ankle is spiraling,

So massaging and opening the energy flow in the ankle.

Similarly with the knees,

Getting a nice spiral.

And of course the hips,

The pelvis,

And the spine getting a gentle sway and twist.

And let's start with our hands,

Start skimming the surface of the lake.

They're just going along for the ride.

Long,

Slow belly breaths as we do this.

And then let the hands start to kind of turn to the side that you're rotating to,

Or shifting to.

Turn,

Shift,

And rotate.

And then more and more the hands start to wave into little circles.

And so now we're waving our hands through the clouds.

Gaze following your fingers,

And you can keep all the circles nice and small.

Or your sway might become a little bigger or somewhere in between.

So now the hands,

The wrists,

Elbows,

And shoulders are also into the dance.

With the spine and all of our roots.

And this is essentially undulating and massaging so many of the joints of the body.

It's a moving meditation.

Beautiful warmup for the whole body.

Let's move back to center now,

Back to your mountain stance.

And hold your palms face up.

This one is the Sumatran plates,

And we're gonna take them forward and around.

And the idea is we're gonna hold plates,

We don't wanna spill them.

And then we go forward.

Notice how I'm rounding my spine to get the opening.

This is flexing the spine,

Right,

From spinal breathing.

We go around,

And then spine in neutral,

But we're back where we started.

We go around,

This part's an inhale into the extension of the spine.

And then as we travel around,

We flex the spine.

There.

See if you can find that rhythm.

Inhale.

Beautiful,

Spirally one this one is.

Incorporating the spinal breathing,

So it's a beautiful central nervous system warmup.

And then all the meridians and energy lines through the arms and the joints there in the arms are also spiraling open.

Let's play with changing directions.

Inhales.

So here again,

It's exhale as the spine goes in extension,

Tuck the chin,

Tailbone.

Inhale as the spine comes up and into extension.

Once you get the flow of it,

Just kinda wanna exhale,

Allow yourself to sigh out.

Ah.

Ah.

Get a little somatic,

A little free,

Letting go.

Mm.

Beautiful.

And take the feet a little wider,

Hands on thighs.

We're gonna move the body like a river,

Start to sway side to side.

Okay.

And kind of see the side body,

Feel it through the hips,

The pelvis.

See if you can get it into the shoulders,

A little loose.

A little bit intuitive.

And if you want,

You can start to kinda dip down to one side and through the middle,

A little lower.

If you're feeling something a little bit stronger.

And then go back down and around,

Or you can go up and around.

Try breaths and eventually,

After a couple rounds,

Change direction.

I love this one,

As it feels like it gets the twist in the spine up into the heart space,

Or the upper part of the torso,

That part of the spine.

And see if you can,

Of course,

If it's hard,

Take the feet a little closer.

If it's getting too straining,

You can slow it down,

You can speed it up.

Start to find angles,

Dips and twists.

And you can think of like pushing into your hands and your thigh back into your hand.

And you can hang out in any spot that feels juicy for you.

Use your senses.

Sense and feel what's going on.

Option to add in that little wagging of the tail.

So as we were looking one way,

Reach the tail out the other way.

Extend the sensation all the way through the spine.

Beautiful.

A couple more.

And we'll walk our feet back to mountain stance.

In mountain,

We wanna be centered,

Weight evenly distributed,

Like we're doing a standing meditation.

So it's cup,

Or this is the belly,

Or the,

In Qigong,

The dantian.

Inhale,

Feel the dantian.

It's like we're holding it like a baby.

And then exhale,

Settling into your roots,

Grounding into the earth.

And then inhale,

Right hand goes around and up.

And then exhale,

Kind of like karate chop down your center.

This is a centering exercise.

And then the hands switch,

Inhale.

Inhale.

It's like we're centering ourselves through those clouds that we waved through earlier,

The clouds of illusion.

Inhale,

Cultivate fresh energy,

Draw it in.

Exhale,

Center your being in this moment.

Ground the old out into the earth.

Inhale.

Centering.

Let's embrace the tree,

Feeling our dantian.

This is the,

These are the waters at which a lot of energy can integrate.

So breathe into it,

That fuels energy there.

And the intelligence of this area knows where to send energy through the body without you having to do anything.

If you can only give it energy to work with.

And if you send old energy to this area,

It also knows how to process it.

Inhale.

Feel this area,

Integrate this qigong we've done by feeling,

Having your awareness in your belly and breathing in and out.

Energy goes where our awareness goes.

And then to start our eye regulation,

That's an important piece.

Let's now do kind of the physical aspect of it,

Which is simply right here in our embracing the tree position.

We're just gonna make circles with our eyes.

If you look up,

And the head doesn't need to move,

Just move your eyes and your eye sockets.

Look up like you're looking at 12 o'clock on a clock and then over at three and then down to six,

Over to nine and then up to 12.

And keep going like that,

Drawing a big circle.

Going not too fast,

Not too slow.

Start to just feel each edge of that circle with your eyes.

Think of it at this stage as more of like a little eye exercise.

We wanna kind of gently,

Very gently exercise the muscles of the eyes to be able to access all of the degrees of the clock.

And if you notice any particular angles that the eyes struggle or it's a bit weaker or harder to be in that angle of the eyes,

Beautiful,

Just take note of it,

Notice it.

These may be signals that say the eyes wanna tremor.

And the eyes are a subtle part,

So they,

You could very well get them going today,

Which we'll look at a little bit more later.

But also know that eventually,

They will likely turn on to the muscles around the eyes.

Let's change directions,

Go in the other direction around the clock.

And just doing this is already quite powerful to help move tension that gets stuck in the eyes and in the brain.

You see the optical nerves are big nervous system endings and they,

By working with this,

It can help to process stuck energy in the head and in the brain.

Now,

The next movement,

We have a lot more,

We'll go to in other future courses if you want.

But we'll go side to side,

Like a tick tock,

Tick tock.

This is actually like a little hack for helping the nervous system feel safe.

Because imagine you're in the wild and you're in the forest or something,

You'll be scanning like this,

Looking side to side and you don't notice anything,

Okay,

Ah,

Safe.

But if you're not watching,

You might,

You know,

Danger could be anywhere,

You know,

In the wild.

So try not to move your head.

If it moves a little bit,

Beautiful,

Just notice,

See if you can isolate the eyes.

Tick,

Tock,

Tick.

Sometimes you might go a little slower,

A little faster.

Again,

You wanna notice any angles that are harder to see or harder to move through are very much like the range of motion strategy.

It could be like the eyes skip part of the angle of your vision.

Those are signals to say,

Hey,

There may be something to look at there,

Some tremoring that may wanna happen around there.

Beautiful,

Okay,

Let's come now into our squats.

Let's move into,

Maybe you hang out in an easy chair.

If a squat is too much,

Something,

Even a quarter chair or something,

Or eventually make your way lower and lower.

If you have to modify by lifting onto toes and fingers,

Beautiful,

And while a squat isn't really necessary,

It's so good for the pelvis health,

The flexibility,

And the digestion.

So I highly recommend working your squat,

Hanging out in it even just a little bit until it gets more and more comfortable.

Take a breath here and let it go.

And we'll find a comfortable seat.

And then this is another position that rather than maybe sitting in a chair all the time,

Try to sit on the ground in cross-legged position,

Because this is so good to open the hips as well.

Let's take a breath here.

And then maybe you got the hang of this tremoring already,

That simply by relaxing,

Letting go,

You can start to awaken your shaking.

Very deep if you,

Just by simply relaxing your nervous system and willing it to turn on or allowing it,

It starts.

Then hang out with that for a while.

Another option in our mountain seat is simple.

Extend the spine,

Flex the spine,

Like spinal breathing.

And just do that.

Use our slow moving range of motion strategy to go each time more slowly and more relaxed until it starts to quake and bump and pulse.

And then you're hanging out in your shaking station.

A little bit stronger in the seat perhaps is to come up into the spare seat.

Again,

Maybe stay in the softer mountain seat if that's working for you.

Or the spare seat,

It starts with maybe checking in on your mobility.

Okay,

Kind of what like the windshield wiper legs.

Can we,

What's our range?

And then just as you go to one side,

There's a little bit of a,

A lot of pelvis movement happening,

Hip movement.

You might add a gentle twist and an extension here.

And then come in a bit of a flexion to come through center.

And then extension to the other side.

What a beautiful articulatory warmup.

And then let's start to allow the shaking medicine.

Within any of that there,

At any point,

Whether it's more in the spine,

The pelvis,

Or the legs,

Or a combination of all,

Start to just feel where your tremor wants to come online.

Less is more.

Once it does,

Hang out with it.

Let it evolve and move you a bit if it wants.

Or after a while,

Maybe you're like,

Okay,

Let me play with another angle.

Maybe you go slow,

Slowly into another angle that the tremor is just like a continuum from the shaken station you were in to the slight different station it'll be once you kind of micro move over to another spot.

Option to,

If you want to turn the volume up a little bit more into the ying.

Option to do this with floating arms.

Again,

As a reminder,

Sometimes we need the stronger positions to start kind of waking it up to feel the sensations of like,

Oh,

There's a spot.

And allowing,

And then allowing it so we get to know it,

And then we can apply it to the softer and softer shapes.

And then your full rocky bird,

If you want to float the feet and the arms,

Or it could be just taking a bit of the weight off the feet,

But not all of it.

And then option to come into the squeezing strategy here if you want to kind of squeeze everything into center.

The belly into the spine,

Like a floating fetus.

And then slowly just,

Slowly relax open.

In the squeezing strategy,

We want to slowly relax out of the squeeze back to neutral.

Like the slow moving range of motion strategy.

But in the squeezing of activating the muscle and then letting it go.

Option here to kind of spiral the wrists and see about getting it going in some of the extremities here,

Whether it's,

And maybe the feet actually as well.

So we can point and flex the ankles and the wrists,

Nice and slow,

Kind of lift fingers,

Lift toes.

And just see where you are with it.

The extremities are generally,

Not always,

But generally a little bit more subtle to get going.

No limitations,

Maybe they happen for you today already.

If that doesn't really land,

Moving nice and slow,

Try another movement.

Like it could be more of a tilting of the wrists and ankles in and out.

And also maybe just do the ankles or just do the wrists.

Okay,

Let's take our first pulse of centering the shake.

Inhale,

Take one arm around and up in our mountain seat.

Cup the belly,

Energetically center,

Center with the other hand.

And then we'll take both hands on your next inhale around and up,

Gather the heavenly energy.

And then rinse yourself from head all the way down,

Grounding yourself through your tailbone,

Through your perineum,

Into the earth.

One more like that.

Keep resting if you wanna keep resting,

If you had enough shaking or join me on the back.

We're gonna do an extremities version of shaky hip cups.

So legs and arms in the air.

And I want you to spiral slowly your ankles and wrists.

Let's just start with a kind of an outside-in approach.

Everything is relative.

Tremoring is,

As compared to most healing methods out there,

Is really an inside-out approach.

But even within the dynamic of this practice,

We can use the tremoring in a sense from the extremities,

The outside,

And then work it in.

Or we can also get it going in like the big core parts of us and work it up.

And that's another one of those cycles,

Circular aspects of shaking medicine where eventually more and more it'll go whichever way it needs.

So you can bend and straighten,

Flex,

Spiral these joints.

And if that doesn't land,

No worries.

It is kind of more subtle parts.

It might be,

It's often harder at first and takes a deeper relationship with it.

So then start,

Let's go to the next big spot,

The elbows and knees.

Bend and straighten.

And see if you can get these bigger muscle groups going.

And maybe if you're comfortably in the extremities,

Maybe you hang out with those and add the bending of the elbows and knees.

And then eventually we work our way to the shoulders and hips.

And then all the way into this beautiful dantian,

Our belly,

Our kind of center of our physical body,

Your instinctive gut mind,

And even into the whole spine,

Into the marrow of the spinal cord and the brain eventually,

As it trickles really,

Really deep.

Anything you know here,

You wanna intuitively bring in the bridge butterfly,

Or if you've got some shaking here,

Just go with the flow,

Go with how it wants to move you,

How it wants to awaken your tremor mechanism to for self empowerment,

To cultivating this powerful tool,

Your relationship with it.

So you can have it for more and more easily for the rest of your life as a powerful regulatory tool.

Nervous system hygiene.

We're clearing our biofield,

The capacity of our human antenna to flow energy through it and to feel and sense in our environment and to put out a grounded,

Good and powerful feeling vibration.

Maybe some gentle,

If you want,

Side twists back and forth and maybe you get some of those big oblique muscles going or you can bring in a gentle crunch with the side twist and get there's so many kind of unique angles of the tissue through the abdomen and the side waist.

To get going,

To get the release,

Just for you,

Just that your body needs the release or the cultivation,

Because this again,

Lets go of what doesn't serve us and it can cultivate what does,

Including bringing in energy into the where it's deficient in the body,

Not just removing the excess.

Now,

Eventually we're gonna kind of do a little roll onto our belly and have a moment to rest,

A little micro rest.

Let's take a moment to fully let go of all effort,

All control and feel the vibration of the earth beneath you.

I love integrating in this prone position because the whole yin side of my body can communicate and connect and surrender into the earth very beautifully.

Belly breathing,

And pendulating into a kind of reference state that helps your nervous system feel soothed and happy.

I love feeling the earth beneath me.

Keep resting.

If you feel to rest longer and join in when you're ready,

Or come into this sort of sphinx shape as option one to stay here,

Option,

Easier option,

Or it could be a gentle,

If you have the range,

A gentle up dog or cobra,

Slightly,

Slightly stronger.

And first of all,

Make sure whatever shape you're in is safe.

So make any little adjustments to keep the body and all the joints and spine,

Lower back,

Especially here,

In integrity.

Use enough effort to keep that integrity.

And then micro move,

You can micro twist.

With this one,

Whether you're in sphinx or more up,

Just gently go side to side.

And we're getting into some of this twisting,

Oblique side body sort of stuff.

The legs can kind of sway gently with the pulse.

And again,

Maybe you don't find shaking in every shape we look at.

Just notice if,

If you get the sensations,

No force,

If you do,

Hone in on it,

Listen to it,

And hang out in a shaking station if it happens.

Otherwise treat it like Tai Chi,

Slow moving,

As slow and relaxed as you can.

And listen to the shaking station if it arises.

Here the pelvis can gently like tuck or lift a little too.

Oh,

Because any slight angle in the pelvis can make a big difference.

And eventually that back pain can be pretty strong.

So eventually you'll come to this all fours position.

Let's give the back a little relief by slowly moving into flexion.

That cobra position was an extension.

We'll go into child's pose for a flexion.

Let's explore yin to yang here.

Yin options to yang options.

And because yin options are often more really therapeutic in what we need,

I'll say as you start to get the yin options,

Consider just staying with the softer option for now.

So here,

Flexing and extending the spine within your child's pose to find some shaking.

So you might tuck the chin,

Tuck the tailbone.

And you can even add a little bit that squeezing strategy by squeezing the belly into the spine,

Squeezing the chin down towards the chest a little,

And then slowly relaxing out of the squeeze for it to start to move you towards extension.

And then maybe you find the shake and you just hang out with it from there.

Maybe to do the squeezing and extension,

You lift your chest,

Lift your tailbone.

Try to squeeze the back muscles towards the spine gently.

And with the squeezing,

You might hold the squeeze for some moments,

A few breaths or so before you then slowly start to melt out of the squeeze.

And then the shaking happens.

So stay with that,

Your shaky,

Squeezy child's pose.

Or possibly the child's wants to start awakening into this like crouching tiger shake on toes and forearms.

So there's a little bit more range to be explored.

The shoulders can kind of press in and out of the earth to nice and gently maybe find some bouncing there.

A big one to watch out for.

And these all four shakes is the lifting of the head,

Which I actually do a lot when I'm teaching because I don't want to block my leg.

But generally you want the head to hang down and kind of relax so the back of the neck can soften.

Here the pelvis can rotate,

The spine can articulate.

Less is more.

A little closer.

We really want to,

Rather than explore a million things,

Find something or a few things that are landing and land in it.

And that's what will build our relationship with the tremor by listening to the shaking stations.

That's what will start to unravel the charges in our trauma onion and start to discharge them.

Surrendering into it is what will move us more and more how we need to be moved to heal.

Stronger option all the way up to all fours.

All the way to the cat cow.

Like an animal,

Huh?

Let's go ahead and wiggle our jaw.

That's another powerful spot to loosen up and free up.

Ah.

See if you can find some shaking and then just,

Ah,

Wiggle the jaw around,

Ah,

Make a few noises.

Ah,

Maybe some fake yawns or even better,

Real yawns.

Sign that you're going into parasympathetic rest and digest.

Ah,

Ah,

Ah,

Ah,

Ah,

Ah,

Ah,

Ah,

Ah.

Oh,

Oh,

Oh,

Oh.

One more here.

Option if a little bit stronger,

The animal leg kicks out.

Another chance to get into the extremities here of the ankles.

You can spiral the ankles and the toes and just see if that initiates the shaking.

And then maybe let that trickle up to the knee.

Eventually into the hip and all the degrees of freedom possibly can more and more be explored there.

And it can move,

All this can move in harmony together how it needs to.

And to move with this many degrees of freedom kind of cathartically and somatically with the logical mind is really hard.

And if not,

Kind of maybe even impossible until we can,

After we can let go into it.

Let's play there.

Oh.

If you're doing that side,

Let's play with the other side.

Remember all the patternings,

They store,

Generally store asymmetrically.

So this side will likely awaken in different spots in different ways.

So be patient.

Let this side be what this side wants to be.

Slowly in the discovery phase,

Rotate the ankle.

Find where this side wants to start shaking.

And once it's in,

Maybe let it travel up through the knee.

You can encourage it by slowly bending and straightening the knee,

Or even maybe squeezing a bit and relaxing the hamstring or the glute to start bringing it up into the hip where then maybe the pelvis tucks and lifts to help it move in towards the spine and the core.

We are connecting ourselves from the outside in.

And of course,

Once the core gets going,

If it does in this moment,

Then maybe let it go there.

It can go all the way back out.

Ah.

Ah.

Let's regulate this side by coming into our mountain seat.

Nice,

Tall,

Grounded seat.

And let's do that eye regulation again.

So big circles with the eyes.

And you can start to bring this into your practice really whenever you want during a shaking station,

During any integration,

Especially if you feel excess energy up in the head.

This can help move that.

And the eye muscles are quite subtle.

So just go slow and big.

And maybe if you start noticing patterns where it skips an angle somewhere,

And if you slow it down and relax it,

You might get some tremor in there,

Which is often like fast,

Rapid blinking of the eyes.

You've probably seen people or animals kind of like their eyes do that sometimes.

You could say that's like a somatic reprogramming of stories or thinking or energy stuck in the head.

You can change directions.

Or if you do get the shaking,

Hang out.

You can just hang out with it,

Let it do the reprogramming.

Again,

This is kind of subtle.

So to get the tremor in the eyes and the face,

It will happen maybe now or maybe down the road as you build up your relationship with this.

You might try the side to side.

Tick tocks.

Again,

If you get to a spot where it starts tremoring or quaking or twitching,

Maybe let go of the tick tocking and just hang out with the shaking and breathe into it.

You can compliment it with just relaxed parasympathetic breathing.

Ah,

Somatic sounding.

Again,

The jaw can wiggle.

Ah,

That's our animal bite.

Very powerful.

Sees the vagus nerve and all the organs,

Most of the organs.

One more nice thing to help get energy out of the head is just a gentle massage.

Like press your palms into the temples.

You can rub the temples.

Press into the skull.

Let it feel good.

And then we'll sweep our hands around and up.

And ground the energy into the earth.

Phew.

Let's do a coming up to standing.

Challenge is to come up with no hands,

But use your hands if you want.

And then slowly rise on up.

Finding your mountain stance,

Embrace your tree,

Palms towards your belly.

Breathing.

And we're gonna start to let the knees roll in and roll open.

These are our dancer legs,

Our indigenous African tribe dancer legs.

We wanna get in that force just if it wants.

Kind of like our shaky butterfly on the back.

We'll get our legs going side to side.

Another rhythm,

See different,

Same shapes,

Different expression.

Option to micro tilt the pelvis.

Or even as you say tuck,

You can squeeze the belly,

Add a bit of the squeezing strategy and then eventually relax the belly.

And you might start getting a pumping in the abdomen,

That's really great,

More advanced usually.

When the dantian you could say starts pumping,

Your Bushman's pump is awakening.

It's really powerful stuff.

Or when you lift the tailbone,

So extending the pelvis,

You can squeeze those lower back muscles together there and then soften.

Maybe the ankles tilt,

So it's like you lift the inner arch and the outer arch as well.

So the trembling,

The ankle can be loose and tremble.

Maybe the toes lift into the,

The toes can lift in there and get into the dance.

And the hands,

Of course,

Working with our extremities once more.

Tilting the wrists,

Flexing in circles of the wrists,

Opening and closing the fingers.

Just explore nice and slowly.

As the hands come to fist,

There's might be a gentle squeezing and then a letting go where that can open.

Option to slowly move the jaw and the eyes around.

Possibly the extremity muscles of the face and the head get into the dance today.

At least know that it's possible and it's deeply soothing once all the tension gets released in the head and face.

And that's,

The face is the external expression of the emotions stored within us.

Oh,

We need to release it on all the levels.

The spine simply extending and flexing,

Get some of those big muscle groups tuning in,

Which is big muscle groups are usually easier at first.

So if this whole extremity stuff isn't really landing,

Keep it simple,

Keep it basic and hang out with the tremor in there.

Your connection to it will grow and build.

Eventually here,

You're deeply plugged into the earth,

Rooted and grounded,

Roots free and open.

The tremor and able to connect to your whole body all the way to the crown of your head for full trembling mountain and then all the way out to the extremities of your fingers going deep into all of your insides,

Full trembling mountain,

Expanding your electromagnetic human biofield,

Fine tuning the beautiful instruments that you are,

Or increasing the capacity of your beautiful human antenna to sense and feel and expand and be resilient.

So I want you to inhale,

Like you're taking a big gulp of energy and then use your hands to kind of compact that energy into you,

Moving the shake into stillness.

Right into your ground.

It feels like you're grounding yourself deep into the earth,

Letting all the old energy shed and ground into and through your roots.

Inhale fresh energy in.

Doing a body scan to help excess energy up high.

Sink down low.

Integrating and grounding this practice today,

This course.

Inhale.

And out.

Maybe a nice juicy sigh out.

Might feel a sense of like the energy is like,

Oh,

I kind of made it to here,

But it's not going further so you can work with it.

We at least want to get it to the belly if we can.

Then maybe send even more excess out through our roots into the ground.

We can inhale fresh energy up through our legs or feet.

We're doing a Qigong integration,

Energy integration today as we're closing.

And that fresh energy moves up and then it's like a waterfall.

We wash ourselves with it.

Simultaneously encouraging the old,

Hot,

Dense,

Excess energy to cool,

Settle,

Sink,

And ground.

So you pull up the earth or reach around.

Inhale,

Grab the heavens.

Either way,

Wash head to toe.

Three more of those.

Intuitively letting go,

Softening.

Ah.

Feeling through your human biofield.

Inhale,

Hands to heart center.

May you expand and grow and be empowered with your chimera mechanism and use this intelligence to be more spontaneous and flow and grow.

Increase your creativity,

Your love of life,

Your potential in accessing the infinite being that you are.

So much love.

Thank you for journeying with me.

Namaste.
