Start by shaking out your body,
Flicking your hands and wrists down to the floor.
Allow your knees to bend slightly.
Shift your weight from side to side.
Just starting to get the flow of energy.
Moving around your body.
Unlocking.
Loosening up all of the joint.
Allowing the bouncing to vibrate through your spine.
Take deep breaths into your belly.
And shake off the day's tensions.
And now let's start to swing our arms from side to side.
Dead arms.
Allow them to hit.
Your lower rib cage with each 10.
We're starting to introduce twisting into the spine.
Ringing through the organs,
Especially the liver.
Allow your head to turn.
As you move from side to side.
Really allowing your whole spine to twist.
And last couple of twists.
Come back to centre.
Feel that warmth already starting to seep in through your torso and your midsection right where your liver lies.
Bring your arms in front of you.
Interlock your fingers.
Push them out in front.
Take a deep inhale.
Bring them up overhead.
And from here,
We're going to turn.
Moving your hips,
Torso and head to the side.
Come back to centre.
Exhale and turn the other way.
And come back to center.
Again,
Twisting to the other side.
And back to center.
And the other way.
Feeling the stretch pull through your ribs.
All the way down to your hips.
Take a deep inhale.
Exhale,
Float your arms down.
Let's repeat again.
Exhale,
Pushing your arms out in front of you.
Bring them all the way out.
And rotate your body.
Come back to center.
Rotate to the other side.
Feeling that pull in your hips.
Back to center.
Other way.
Back to centre.
And other way.
And come back to centre.
Take a deep inhale.
And exhale.
Float your arms all the way down.
We're going to work through the sides with some side bending.
Keep your body in this plane.
Do not allow it to come forwards or backwards.
Reach down to your side with your straight arm to your knee.
And come back up.
Let's go to the other side.
And come back up.
Continue flowing through this side bend.
Reaching down to your knees.
Feeling your ribs open up as you move.
Swaying like a piece of bamboo in the wind.
Reaching down with your arms.
Pulling it up.
And reaching down with your arm,
Pulling it up.
Welcome the heat that's rising in your body.
And last one.
Come back to center.
Take a wider stance.
Bend your knees.
Settle into a horse stance.
And we're going to hold a ball of energy.
One hand at your chest and the other at your abdomen.
And just start to feel this energy around.
Cultivate it in between your hands.
And now stop with your right hand on top.
Using your right elbow.
This elbow is going to lead your movement.
Over to the right.
Feet twisting into a lunge.
Now swap your hands over.
And use your left elbow.
To come back through the center.
Changing into a lunge on the other side.
And again,
Change.
Head should remain level.
Keeping your knees bent.
Allow your spine to twist as you reach the end of that lunge.
Looking all the way to the back.
Feel that intense ringing through the sides of your body.
Also working through the legs.
Knees and thighs with this movement.
Grounding your body into the floor with your feet.
Allow yourself to flow.
Make your movements nice and smooth.
Inhale as you come to centre,
Exhale as you twist.
I'm starting to feel my stomach gurgle.
That's a good sign that the energy is moving through my body.
And last one.
Come back to centre.
Straighten your knees.
And pass that ball of energy into you.
Keeping your feet wide.
Inhale,
Arms up.
Exhale.
Bend your knees,
Pulling that energy down.
And again,
Inhale.
Exhale.
Inhale.
And exhale.
And now straighten up.
We're going to move onto the floor in a sitting position.
Sit on the floor or on your bed,
Wherever is most comfortable for you.
Have your legs outstretched in front of you.
Let your knees rotate out to the side.
We're going to begin tapping along your liver meridian.
Start at the inside of your ankles.
Your taps should be firm enough to make a distinct sound.
Continue tapping all the way up.
Through your inner legs.
To your groin.
Up the lower belly.
And onto your lower ribs.
And let's go again.
Tapping from the inner ankles all the way up through the legs.
Through the abdomen.
To the lower belly.
Continue tapping at your own pace.
Close down your eyes and take a deep breath.
And last pause.
And come to a cross-legged position.
Wrap your hands together,
Generate your qi.
Wait until they're warm and you feel a little bit of moisture in your palms.
Take a deep breath in.
And as you exhale,
Place them directly over your liver.
On the lower right side of your ribcage.
Feel the warmth of your hands.
Allow this energy to penetrate into this organ.
And we're going to make the liver healing sound.
This sound is a just like you're trying to shush someone in the library.
Let's do this together.
Three rounds.
Inhale.
Inhale.
Inhale.
And breathe normally.
Keeping your contact with your abdomen.
Start to move your hands around your belly.
In a clockwise motion.
Moving down on the left.
And up on the right.
Visualize the flow of energy running through your body.
Moving through your organ.
All of your blood circulating without any blockage.
Place your hands palms up on your thighs.
Deep breaths into your belly.
And continue to visualize this circular motion of energy.
Running through your torso.
Running down the left side of your body.
And up the right side of your torso.
Moving smoothly.
No blockages.
Just one circular movement.
Relax your forehead.
Relax your belly.
Feel the straightness of your spine.
And when you're ready Come back to the room.
Slowly open your eyes.
Now is the perfect time to have a warm cup of tea.
Of your liver-supporting tea.
Repeat this practice one to two times daily for at least a week.
To unlock your blood and qi circulation.
Thank you so much for practicing with me today.
