BREATH OF FIRE
This exercise is done while sitting in a chair or on the floor. Take a deep breath in through the nose, then exhale quickly and forcefully, out through the mouth. Inhalation through the nose will happen naturally after each exhalation. Placement of hands is optional. It must be performed for one full minute followed by one minute of rest and then another minute of breathing exercise for a total of five minutes. This technique helps in the metabolism of fat. Avoid cold drinks afterwards. This activity is equivalent to running two miles.
The 27th and last points on the kidney meridians are the neurological center of the acupuncture circuit. This main switchboard is an important organizer of energy flow throughout the body. They are located between the clavical and the first rib up against the breastbone.
Energy travels in a figure eight pattern through the body. It enters the left foot, crosses at the navel, and surfaces at the K-27 points, crosses the navel again and exits out the right foot.
Nature heals, provided these points are in their proper aligned positions. When this energy is flowing, we "are plugged in" and connected to the universal flow of energy.
When the K-27's are out of position, the body cannot express balance and therefore does not perform to its maximum potential.
The K-27's are related to the following associated conditions:
· Low energy
· Tired all the time
· Low immunity
· Always sick
· Jet lag
TECHNIQUE TO REALIGN BODY ENERGY:
When self adjusting use the right hand to stimulate the left K-27 and the left hand to stimulate the right K-27 for easier access and leverage, while the opposite hand is placed over the navel. It is important to always ground at the navel.
Stimulate K-27 points with firm rotary pressure for 15 to 30 seconds each or until pain at K-27 points is gone.
The K-27's may be stimulated as often as necessary. When they are sensitive, they need attention. Finger massage to the K-27 acupuncture points tonifies and aligns the total energy system. This technique can be used on a daily basis and randomly throughout the day to revive a bored or sluggish body.
Stimulate before arising in the morning and start the day smoothly.
What to expect when the K-27's are reset on a regular basis:
More energy, clearer thinking, improved vision, brightens and straightens your body on all levels, ability to perceive the truth, experience being plugged into the universe, feeling tuned up and turned on with an enormous improvement in everyday living and effectiveness.
HOW TO ORGANIZE YOUR COORDINATION
Electrical impulses pass between the two hemispheres of the brain. They must get back and forth to coordinate body functions. When this energy becomes blocked, the female and the male are not flowing in sequence together. When this energy is connected and equally balanced within each individual, we will have equality between the sexes.
The reflex observed in action while walking is not always totally functional. Inadequate development is associated with poor crawling techniques or experiences during infancy. The nervous organization to coordinate the balanced walking movement is a learned behavior pattern related with cerebral connections that affect other fields of activity, such as language, reading, hand-to- eye coordination. It even affects the perception and conceptualization of sidedness. The perception of sidedness is required to tell mirror images apart, such as,the "b" from the "d" in the alphabet, and this ability is dependent upon the strength of your cross-crawl integration. It is also very important in education and communication.
In today's high tech world, dyslexia (seeing or saying words backwards) is a common problem, especially for children. The ability to read is essential, but the person with dyslexia sees things backwards and cannot read. One literally cannot tell right from left.
Cross-crawl dysfunction is associated with the following:
· Learning disabilities
· Lack of coordination
· Inability or difficult to read
· No concept of balance
· Clumsiness
· Stuttering
· Seeing or saying words backwards
· Dropping objects
· Tripping a lot
CORRECTION: The correcting procedure is an education program to improve nervous system organization. The exercise causes the brain to send the signal down the correct channel to reorganize and repattern the energy of the brain by activity. It affords the opportunity to go back to the crawling stage to lock in the correct pattern of energy in the brain. The more a person needs cross-crawl, the more difficult it will be to perform.
1. This brain-eye exercise can most easily be done in a supine position. Put both legs straight and place both arms down at the sides. This technique may also be done standing or sitting.
2. Raise and elevate the right arm above the head, at the same time raise the opposite leg, bending the knee.
3. Repattern by turning the head towards the raised right arm. Then straighten the head as the arm and left leg come down.
4. Repeat procedure with left arm & opposite right leg, turning head towards the raised left arm.
5. Breathe in as the arm and leg raise, exhale as the arm and leg come down. Do in series of l2 right and 12 left for a total of 24 movements. Visualize marching.
Walking, even in place is a good way to understand the reflex and to tone it. When you identify with any of these associated conditions it is suggested that the re-patterning procedure be repeated 50 to 100 times daily. This is a perfect opportunity to practice discipline.
What to expect when the cross-crawl is balanced:
Improved learning and reading abilities
Better coordination
More confidence
More balance in your life
