12 Energy Maintenance Tools

1. Earth Star Chakra

This chakra is about 18 inches below the feet in the earth functioning much like a pate to stand upon. It focuses Earth Grounding and cleansing energy and directs it to the root chakra via the left foot/leg. Visualize cleansing Light and power moving up through the left leg in a tube that circulates through the root, sacral, and solar plexus chakras, cleansing and recharging energetically. Toxic energetic debris is then channeled down a tube in the right leg to be released to the earth for cleansing and recharging.

2. Central Meridian Zip Up

The meridian from the pubic bone up the front of the body to the upper lip can become weak and scattered energetically, leaking life force and balancing vibrations. Starting at the pubic bone bring the fingers of the left hand up to the bottom lip three times to close off any leakage. Use this to increase confidence and self esteem, to think more clearly, to tap your inner strengths, and to protect against negative energies around you.

3. Lazy 8’s and Lollipop Guild Dance

When brain hemispheres lose balance we oscillate between analytical and emotional. It is advisable to return to a balanced place to allow clarity and availability of both. For the Lazy 8 use both arms in a swaying motion left and right across the front of the body moving from the hips, making sure to cross the center line of the body. The arms and hips combine in a figure 8 movement. The Lollipop guild dance has the opposite leg and arm moving simultaneously to the other side crossing the center of the body. Right arm across to left as left leg crosses in the right direction, twisting at the waist. Watch the Munchkin Dance in the Wizard of Oz fro a delightful example.

4. K-27 Thump

At the intersection of the clavicle and the sternum are two points along the Kidney Meridian. Follow the clavicle inward to the center and find the bumps where they stop. Then drop down about an inch and slightly outward into a slight indentation to find K-27. Cross arms and with fingers thump each point for about 20 seconds. This will flip your energies around if they have started flowing backwards. It will energize you and focus you if you are lacking attention or drowsy.

5. Thymus Thump

At the center of the sternum about 2-3 inches below K-27 breathe deeply as you tap firmly with four fingers of each hand for about 20 seconds. This will stimulate all of your energies, boost your immune system, and increase your strength and vitality.

6. Frontal Occipital Hold

Hold one hand on the forehead and one on the back of the neck covering  where the skull meets the spine. Focus on relaxation, slow breathing, and releasing old patterns. Use when you are stressed or challenged and are on the brink of a fight/flight response.

7. Karate Chop E.F.T.

Tap both hands together at the point midway between the wrist and the base of the pinkie repeating the phrase, “Even though I feel________ I completely love and accept myself”. Use to break an emotional state or a pattern of behavior.

8. Throw a Tantrum

When frustrated or angry stomp your feet upon the earth and, if able, flail the hands and make sound as well. This tantrum moves the energy build up of anger and re-grounds you as well.

9. Lung Points and Sternum Points

When sadness and grief and tears are emerging stimulation of these points can encourage the deeper release of what is underneath the rising emotion. The lung points are the tender points outside of the sternum on the pectoral muscles just about directly above the nipples. Keep working them until the tenderness recedes or the tears flow or both. The Sternum points are at the base of the sternum. Push until you find a tender point. It can immediately start the flow of tears. Massage until release takes place. Periodic massage of each of these points will keep emotional debris moving out.

10. Dance and Sing

Regular dancing and singing will keep the system open and flowing, cleansing chakras and energizing the spirit. Dancing to Salsa will cleanse all chakras at once…have fun most of all. It is not the steps but the intention that is the key.

11. Nightly Expression cleanse

By creating the space to speak out loud all the leftover unexpressed frustrations of the day, you cleanse the energy that can be stored during sleep. Repeated storing can easily lead to a physical condition requiring your attention. Do it in the shower for a double effect of the spoken word and the water binding the negative vibrations and sending them down the drain.

12. Breathe

Full breathing will provide the prana to cleanse, clarify, and energize the cells. Breath of Fire will energize you. Breathe in through the nose to the diaphragm as quickly as you can for a minute.  Connected breath will amplify an emotion and encourage the flow of that emotion to full release. Breathe in and out through the nose with no pause on the intake or the release, like a circle. Do this for at least a minute or until the desired release takes place. Keep returning to this breath even when you start to forget to breathe.

13. Smudging
                As the picture below shows, using the Native American ritual                 of burning white sage to purify the energy field is a very                 effective tool to clear your field of energetic debris from the                 moments of living. Combine it with Cedar and Sweet Grass for                 an even more effective cleanse.
