The Wind Points
In your energy system there are a series of powerful access points, known as the wind points, where the energies of the environment can enter the body. They play a vital part in managing your health and your resiliency at the times when you are feeling pressure in your life.
Do you recall your grandparents telling you to always wear a scarf on a windy day? Well, they were right. The ‘wind’ points aren't just about when it is a windy day. ‘Wind’ in Traditional Chinese Medicine understanding means a force of external environment or climate, including various types of external energies such as damp, dry, wind, and heat, that can be carried into the body when these access points are open and unprotected, acting as a portal through which your vital life energy can leave you and the mischievous affects of the external climates can continue to flood into your whole body system.
These points are located on various points on the head, neck and shoulders. You can watch Prune Harris' video (find it in the comments section) in which she demonstrates the location and correction of the points. You can simply work on any or all of the points by also holding or rubbing them for a few seconds. Notice if any feel more vulnerable or sensitive than others and give them special attention.

If we pay attention in a critical, judgmental way, we actually shut down the learning centers of the brain and rob ourselves of the resources we need to change. Learning to welcome all of our experience with kindness, turns on the learning centers of the brain and gives us the power to face our suffering and transform our lives.

May your transformational journey into LOVE and GRATITUDE be blessed with ease, grace and harmony.

Walking barefoot outdoors is one powerful way to stay grounded.
We need to stay grounded for the natural exchange of energies between us and the Earth to promote stability, safety and health.
Grounding has been practiced since the beginning of time when our ancestors walked around in bare feet or conductive leather footwear. After the invention of rubber-soled shoes, a non-conductive barrier was erected between mankind and our greatest source of electrons – the earth. We live and work, and spend much or most of our time disconnected, often far above ground in high rises. The lost contact with the Earth may contribute to electrical imbalances, a build-up of disruptive static electricity (positive charges), and an unrecognized electron deficiency in the body, and with it, vulnerability to dysfunction, disorder, and disease.
The body is composed primarily of water and minerals, making it a great conductor of electricity. When we come into direct contact with the earth—our soles pressed into the soil, bodies pressed against the grass, fingers weaving through particles of sand—the free electrons on the earth's surface are absorbed into the body. The influx of free negative electrons from the earth can combat positively charged free radicals generated by inflammatory factors as they respond to injury, infection, trauma or stress.
Nobel Prize winner Richard Feynman described an umbrella affect created when we “ground.” He claimed that grounding equalized the electronic potential between the body and the earth, so the body becomes an extension of the earth’s magnetic field. This potential “cancels, reduces, and pushes away electrical fields from the body.”
Now with spring advancing and summer just around the corner, take your opportunities when you can, walking barefoot or laying still on the ground for 5-20 minutes a day, to connect your entire body to Mother Earth.

Do 'Heaven Rushing In' exercise if you are feeling overwhelmed, or alone, or in despair...or if you want to see a glimpse of the bigger picture and bring in hope and inspiration.
1) Stand tall with hands on your thighs, breathing deeply, feeling your feet on the ground, being aware of your connection to the Earth. Take a deep breath in, circle your arms around, bringing them into a prayer position in front of your chest, and exhale.
2) With another deep breath in, open and raise your arms wide, lifting your chin and expanding your chest. Reach toward heaven as heaven reaches back to you. You are inviting healing energies as you are letting go of anything that is not serving you any longer.
3) When you feel charged and your arms are filled up with all that goodness, bring your hands into the middle of the chest. There is a energy vortex called 'Heaven Rushing In' and 'heaven' rushes into your heart with healing, with a sense of your true nature, with divine guidance and protection. Even if you don't receive inspiration and direction right away, know that they will unfold in their perfect time.
4) If there is a specific area in your body that needs healing, place your charged hands over that area, letting the energies stream in while filling yourself up with gratitude.

The Chakras is one of nine primary energy systems that impact body, mind and spirit. The word chakra translates from the Sanskrit as disk, vortex, or wheel. The chakras are concentrated centers of energy.
Each chakra supplies energy to specific organs, corresponds to a distinct aspect of your personality, and resonates with one of seven universal principles having to do with survival, creativity, identity, love, expression, comprehension, or transcendence. The chakras also code experiences in their energies, just as memories are chemically coded in your neurons. An imprint of every emotionally significant event you have experienced is believed to be recorded in your chakra energies.
