Fall Season - Transitioning to New Winter Energy
On the Chinese calendar there are two special dates between mid-November and mid-December – November 22nd & December 7th.
Stomach Qi~ssage for Vitality
Cupping is also very helpful. You should cup the kidney area, of course. Cupping the back of the neck at the base of the head is also very beneficial, especially for older people and anyone who has high blood pressure or heart issues.
If you are not familiar with cupping, it is very easy. You simply form your hand into a cup shape and cup or pat the area. Start out cupping gently and then cup more firmly as it feels good to you. You don’t need to do it hard.
Qi~ ssaging your Feet
Massaging your feet and back are very good for your kidney energy. You can massage the entire foot. That is very helpful but please be sure to focus on the Bubbling Spring point on the bottom of your foot and the arch. These areas are the most beneficial to massage.
When you massage your feet always start with the left foot then do the right foot. Starting with the left helps you relax and sends a message to your brain to start releasing the body’s natural feel good hormone.
The other important thing to remember when massaging your feet or any part of the body is to first call upon your master’s (someone that you have great respect for) energy, focus on your heart and see that love energy flowing through your hands into the area you are massaging. This makes your massage so much more powerful. Remember, love is the most powerful form of healing energy.
