ENERGY fingerTIPS

The Road to Improving Memory & Increasing Clarity

2010-09-01T11:18:00.000-07:00

Do you have all the memory and clarity you want? I personally don't know of anyone who wouldn't like to improve both. Whether young students or elder folks or those in between, everyone wants more brain power!

I recently taught a stress reduction workshop at the Youth Empowerment and Leadership Conference. The audience was a group of one hundred 8th to 10th graders who were stressed because of the "expectations" and "the crazy amount of studying and preparation". They want to be able to study and know that the information will be readily available when they sit down to take the test.

Then there is the elder community "who want to keep what they have and increase clarity". They want the quality of their lives to be enhanced, not diminished.

And for those who are in the work place -- it's important to put your best foot forward and increase clarity, focus, comprehension, productivity, creativity, and vitality. When all of that is happening you will be memorable.

Here are several easy-to-do and easy-to-remember energy movements that will help you improve your memory and all the rest. You will be connecting with energy balance areas to "remind your body" to find balance and harmony. Gently hold each position (using your fingertips) for several good deep breaths.

1. Right hand - cup the back of your head with fingertips on the left base of
the skull.

Left hand - cup your forehead so fingertips are on the right side.

2. Switch hands

3. Hold base of skull, right fingertips on right side and left fingertips on
left side.

4. Right hand - hold fingers along right side of neck.

Left hand - fingers "travel" down the left side of your center line

* at top of head close to center line
* then just into hairline

* then at center of forehead

* then at inside of left eyebrow

* then at left cheekbone close to nostril

* then just below left collarbone close to sternum

For right side -- switch hands

You might recognize this flow as the one to also "clear" head pressure, headaches, sinus congestion and allergies. Well, if it can work for that, it will help create clear thought and let go of any mental confusion! Give it a try!!

Ready for a tune up to give you that energy boost or to get rid of those winter aches and pains? Give yourself the gift of feeling balanced, vibrant and relaxed. Call me at 707-546-5692 to set up an appointment.

Free Yourself From Allergies in Any Season

2010-08-03T12:37:00.000-07:00

Are you one of those folks who is expecting allergies or already suffering?

Guess what? You can help your body not go to that place of stuffiness, dry eyes, itchy eyes, and head pressure

You can easily create a new pattern that allows you to actually smell the flowers and smile. So, if you haven't been doing the "sinus flow/head pressure flow", get started now. It's easy to relieve that stuffy head that feels like pressure building up.

For right side pressure --

Left hand - hold fingers at left side of neck

Right hand - fingers "travel" down the right side of your center line

* at top of head close to center line

* then just into hairline

* then at center of forehead

* then at inside of right eyebrow

* then at right cheekbone close to nostril

* then just below right collarbone close to sternum

For left side pressure -- switch hands

Do you have too much on your plate?
Are you feeling overwhelmed and stressed?

If you're in that space, are you noticing that your breath goes into reaction and becomes tight and constricted?

Here are a few simple ways to remind your body to breathe -- with deep inhales and complete exhales.

Hold upper arms by folding arms across chest
Hold left fingers at base of left ribcage & hold right fingers at left upper chest
Switch hands to hold right side of body

Discover how that expansion of breath allows you to get a different perspective, maybe even allowing you to let go of any frustration you've been experiencing. Still need some assistance to discover balance and calmness in your day? Hold your right fingertips on the outside of your left wrist while you hold your left thumb over your left little finger.

Getting What You Want

2010-02-12T08:35:00.000-08:00

by Deborah S. Myers

Are you getting what you want? Are your desires and goals being met? Are you displaying what you want to receive?

We literally draw to us what we are showing, whether that be frustration and anxiety OR whether it be “living in a trance” OR whether it be exuding a sense of security and joy and abundance. “Showing” can be what our body posture says, what our facial expression reveals, and what our energy system manifests. Our energy needs to be in movement and we need to consistently remind our bodies to be in flow rather than to be stuck. Being stuck creates a body that is in reaction instead of creating what we want.

A really great thing to do is to consistently remind your body to be in alignment with what you want to receive – hold upper arms by folding arms across your chest and then shift your fingers so you’re holding the outside edges of your shoulder blades.

You can manifest what you want to receive by changing your perspective, by balancing your energy, by BEING what you want to have in your life, and by being in joy. You can become a magnet for all that you desire and whatever makes your life meaningful. Enjoy the experience!!

Getting Unstuck and Going Into Action

2010-02-12T08:25:00.000-08:00

by Deborah S. Myers

Are you paralyzed and not going in the direction you want to be going? Like getting done with the things on your list or maybe not even seeing what you really should be doing?

When we are in that position and that way of being, our bodies will easily get caught up in the emotion of frustration. And THAT will actually create more frustrating episodes so we get even less done. What a vicious cycle we create!

We can easily let go of the feeling of frustration and that sense of being paralyzed AND step into going forward to where we want to be by balancing our energy flow. Cup your forehead with one hand and cup the base of your skull with your other hand. You are connecting with two energy balance areas that will help your body experience “letting go” and “getting out of your own way”. It also helps with clarity and focus, which will definitely help you GET on the right track and stay there!

Avoiding Colds and Flu

2010-01-08T12:28:00.000-08:00

by Deborah S. Myers, AMT, JSJ

Colds and flu – those germs are out there, no matter how much you want to keep away from them. To help your body defend itself against the bugs, you can easily connect with the energy balance areas that will help boost your immune system.

To “filter out the bad air”, cup your shoulder with the same side hand (right hand over right shoulder) and hold your chest on the opposite side with the other hand (left hand on left chest below collarbone). Then switch sides.

And, of course, it would be great if that energy movement could help you get results fast!

The answer – do your Daily Clean Your House Flow every day to consistently balance your body. Then, when you want to or need to remind your body to give your immune system a quick boost, you will energetically react faster and your body will be happier!

What’s the Daily Clean Your House Flow??

2010-01-08T12:03:00.000-08:00

by Deborah S. Myers, AMT, JSJ

Are you feeling positive about what’s going on in your life?

Or is there some worry or fear getting in the way and causing a sense of overwhelm or struggle?

If you’re in that space then you might notice that you are having a hard time “catching your breath”. Here are some easy energy movements to remind your body to breathe (hold each with a light gentle touch for several good breaths):

* Hold your upper arms by folding them across your chest;

* Gently cup your thumbs, one at a time; or

* Cross arms and hold the inside of your knees.

When your breath “breaks free”, so will you! You will have more vitality, things will seem easier, and you will have more confidence in your ability to take action. Negative thought won’t have a chance!

Are You Burning Up Your Motor??

2009-11-22T22:06:00.000-08:00

I sure tried to do that last week when I was cleaning up my office. I had half a dozen things I was trying to do at the same time with all of those stacks – copying, filing, shredding, sending emails, paying bills and creating more stacks. I thought I was doing great and I was in major accomplishment mode. And then, my daughter walks into the room and exclaims, “Mom, don’t you smell the smoke?!”

I was so involved with everything that I wasn’t listening, much less smelling, what was going on. I had just kept on filling the shredder, not listening to the motor slowing down or smelling the smoke. I hadn’t realized that it was full and the paper was going backwards, jamming up the blades. It took us over an hour to pull the shredded paper out of the blades. Luckily, I hadn’t burned up the motor, though it appeared as if I had tried really hard to do so!

What is the message in the experience? Slow down, be aware and listen to what is going on around you so YOU don’t try to burn up your own motor! The same message can be used when we consider our bodies. If you are totally aware of how your body feels and listening to the messages it is giving you, you can walk around in a body that is healthier, stronger and more vital.

So, before smoke comes out of YOUR ears and before you burn up YOUR motor, spend time each day balancing your energy and you will be able to let go of effort, struggle, and stress and make life easier by having more vitality and enthusiasm in your day. Suggestion – do the “Daily Clean Your House Flow”. Go to http://healthatyourfingertips.com/pop_pos.htm to find out how!

In addition, before and during an activity that requires focus and clarity, consider doing this….
With one hand cup the forehead and
With the other hand cup the back of the head at the base of the skull.

After my experience with the shredder, I spent more than a few minutes doing this simple energy movement before continuing with my office clean-up project. I got even more done AND didn’t create any more smoke!

Is there something that you’re not listening to? Balancing your energy with a daily practice will help you hear the message before it becomes a big project. And, you just might save your motor!

Autumn -- Time for a Boost!

2009-10-27T23:47:00.000-07:00

Is your immune system ready for the upcoming challenges we've been hearing about? A strong immune system can help you "fight the battle" against all of those crazy flu and cold bugs that are out there in the world.

We can easily and effortlessly help our bodies be stronger by using the following very simple energy "movement". It will consistently remind your body to boost the immune system, "filter out the bad air", and ease dry or sore throat. Gently hold your fingertips on the energy balance points with a light gentle touch for several good breaths. (The general area is okay -- you don't need to be on a specific "point").

** With the right hand, cup the right shoulder, touching
where the neck and shoulder come together.

** With the left hand, hold the left chest just below the
collarbone.

** Switch the hands to "work" the other side.

This is just one of the many ways you can connect with your body to help it be stronger, healthier and happier. Sign up for one of my upcoming workshops and learn a lot more!

Inflammation Means Heat Build-Up

2009-10-27T23:39:00.000-07:00

We can energetically prepare our bodies to be better able to do what we want them to do. It's a given...summer is a season full of activity. Gardening (my love!), hiking, bicycling, lots of projects to get done. So, do the Daily Clean Your House Flow. And, during your activity, take an occasional break and do a couple of the steps. It will "remind" your body to stay in balance, to not create the blocks of energy.

And, if we end up having aches and pains......

Whether we're aching from over-doing or from actual injury or from chronic conditions (arthritis, fibromyalgia, tendonitis, etc.), the body is reacting to inflammation. Actually, a little inflammation can be good for your body...it can help it heal because it is bringing increased blood flow to the specific area. But when there is constant inflammation, the tissues are not able to repair themselves.

Where there's heat, there is also an accumulation of toxin. It is important to cool the area down and at the same time, release the toxin. Apply ice packs for short periods of time (10 minutes). Consider a homeopathic anti-inflammatory. And...do some self-help energy "flows".

Here are several easy to do self-help movements that will cool down the body and decrease the inflammation!
* Hold the left hand over the affected area and hold the right hand directly on top of the left.
* With one hand, hold the affected area and with the other hand, hold the outside of the knee.

Be patient....when the body is experiencing trauma (accumulation of blocked energy), it might take a few minutes to feel a difference.

Build Your Immunity!!

2009-10-27T23:32:00.000-07:00

What people fear the most about the winter season is catching a cold or the flu. It's possible to aid your immune, endocrine and adrenal systems so that they can become stronger. Balancing your energy by placing your fingertips on designated energy points can strengthen those systems by releasing accumulated blocked energy. This gives your body a firm foundation and the help it needs to function in a state of wellness. When your body is in energetic balance, it will not hold on to blocked energy which is what creates symptoms and health "projects".

The following "energy movement" will help your body defend itself against colds and flu. It is especially helpful for relief from a sore throat. It will also help if your chest feels congested:

1. Cup your right shoulder with your right hand so your fingers are by the inside and upper corners of the shoulder blade.

2. Cup your left shoulder with your left hand and hold that same area of the back. This "movement" connects with your personal anti-biotic.

3. Next, while you continue to cup the left shoulder, move your right hand to your right chest just below the collarbone.

4. In addition, you can revitalize and balance your whole body (physical, emotional, and mental) by doing the "Daily Clean Your House Flow". Check out this easy to do flow on the "Services" page, and I will "walk" you through the flow!

2009-09-29T15:29:00.001-07:00
