SHAKING • ROCKING • BOUNCING
HOW TO PRACTICE
Stand with feet shoulder-width apart.
Gently bounce on the balls of the feet to stimulate Kidney 1 (Yongquan).
Let the whole body shake while you fully relax.
If your calves get tired, alternate feet or bounce lightly side-to-side.
Choose a breathing style below.
BREATHING OPTIONS
1. Natural breath
Let the breath settle into its own rhythm. Soft and easy.
2. Sighing exhale
Inhale gently and exhale with a soft “haaah.”
Sighing naturally reduces stress hormones, resets the diaphragm and increases vagal tone.
3. Two or three breaths in / two or three breaths out
Take two or three small sips of air in.
Exhale in two or three light waves.
This instantly calms the nervous system.
BENEFITS
Strengthens the Kidney Qi therefore all the yin and yang systems in the body. #
Regulates the emotions
Shaking hydrates and stretches the fascia in combination with breathing and sighing allows emotional tension to move out instead of staying stored.
Sighing is a natural reset
Research shows sighing lowers heart rate, calms the mind and clears accumulated pressure from the chest.
Activates the lymphatic system
Whole-body shaking boosts lymph movement, boosting our immunity.
