Visualization Exercises | |
---|---|
Use with Track 1: Best done on bare skin. Lie down and close your eyes, cross your ankles and
put one hand on your abdomen and the other on your chest (right-handed – right ankle over left and right hand on the
abdomen; left-handed – left ankle over right and left hand on abdomen).
Imagine your hands melt into your body. Allow the music to enter the backs of your hands, penetrating deeply. Slowly break the contact when the music ends. This music is beneficial for any forms of contact, for example, massage. Effect: Though the creative visualization prepares for Exercise 2 as well as promoting a stronger connection to subtle energy, it also aids in being able to experience the circulation of that energy more clearly. | |
Use with any track: Give yourself a very firm and systematic massage between each of your ribs, working down all of the spaces between each rib until you arrive at the sternum (breast bone in center of chest). Take extra time with sore spots. Effect: Creates more direct mind/body connection. Promotes capacity to breathe by freeing up the muscles directly in the chest and sides of torso and indirectly by increasing the flow of energy through the activation of the acupressure points found in the chest. Use: At least 4-5 times to create an integrated experience or as long as necessary to achieve desired results. |
