Once you are comfortable, take a few deep breaths and do the Teddy Boy Sweep [see description below] to calm down the Triple Warmer energy.
1. Now close your eyes and just focus on what you can HEAR – keep your breathing natural. Peel back the layers of what is going on around you and you will be astonished at what you start to hear. Remain with this for 2 minutes and if distracting thoughts come into your head don’t worry, just gently take yourself back to the sense of ‘hearing’.
2. Keeping your eyes closed, focus on what you can SMELL for a few minutes
3. Still with eyes closed, TOUCH something. Again, 2 minutes.
3. Still with eyes closed, TOUCH something. Again, 2 minutes.
4. Focus, for a couple of minutes, on something in front of you and really SEE it.
5. If you are outdoors, ‘FEEL’ how the environment touches you: feel the breeze in your hair, the sun on your skin, or the rain on your face…. Bring ALL your attention to the sensations.
6. Bring your focus to your body, mentally run up it from your toes to the crown of your head and FEEL each and every part of it. This is not easy and sometimes when I do it I can’t ‘feel’ a thing, if this happens to you, just remain with it, sooner or later you will begin to ‘feel’, begin to reconnect with every cell in your body.
This reconnection is vital for our health and wellbeing. All too often we live in our heads and disconnect with our bodies, an alienation that can ultimately disrupt every system.
When you have mastered this ‘feeling’, take it a step further and isolate a particular part of your body and focus your sense of ‘feeling’ on it. I personally isolate my spine. Leaning forward slightly in the lotus position, to stretch it. I use my mind and feel along it vertebrae by vertebrae, really experiencing the sensations. If there is stiffness or pain, after a while it will begin to diminish and release. Don’t forget your breathing!
OPTIONAL - End by doing:
o a few Teddy Boy Sweeps [see below] and
o The Classic Hook Up [see below]
o tap your 3rd Eye to ‘tap in the feeling of peace and joy’ – by doing this, you will remember it more easily when the going gets tough.
o The yogic balance pose sit crossed legged and reach behind your back to clench your left wrist with the right hand, fingers of the left hand straight with index finger and thumb touching to form an ‘O’. Close your eyes, left up and lean forward from the hips so that you feel a stretch but no pain. Tune into your body and bring your attention to wherever you feel your body is in need of help. This is a great exercise to do by itself at the beginning or end of day.

Another benefit of coming to your senses is that by putting them through their paces they improve and ultimately, it may take a long time, once they reach optimum efficiency the other more esoteric senses begin to develop and emerge into the open.
A QUICK FIX
When you are walking to work, standing in a queue or doing anything mundane, such as ironing or making the bed, bring all your attention to what you are doing and what you can SEE, HEAR and SMELL. It will bring you right slap bang into the ‘present’ in a most enjoyable way.
Learning to live in the present moment is one of the most difficult things for us to do but there is an immense freedom when you begin to let go of brooding over the past and worrying about the future – you begin to bring back joy into your life.
This exercise is a slight variation of Donna Eden’s Covering the Eyes (www.innersource.net). It is perfect when we want to calm down Triple Warmer, begin to bring balance to her[1] and therefore reap the benefits of her working more as a Radiant Circuit than a lone maverick causing mischief. Also, as TRIPLE WARMER is KEEPER OF THE HABITS …. It will encourage good habits rather than bad.
It strengthens Spleen meridian so instantly our immunity and ability to process foods and emotional challenges is increased.
Thirdly it activates the Regulator Flow which is a ‘strange flow’ that helps us regulate and adjust to changes in our lives. Us Healthy Goddesses are indeed trying to create a permanent shift and change so Regulator is a useful ally to have by our side.
We’ll start with Reactivity Pose
Go into Teddy Boy Sweep
Trace Regulator Yin
Trace Spleen
Hands over heart
With a smile
Repeating an affirmation such as:
Today I’m calm and strong, I make wise choices with ease. All is well.
- Rub your hands together and shake them off to get rid of any old, stale, tired energy. Place them over your heart.
- Close your eyes, feet firmly on the ground and take a few seconds to get grounded.
- Smile
- Breathing is natural (to you) throughout
- Put your index finger and thumb into a circle (think AOK)
- Place these over your temples and fingertips will naturally fall onto the forehead where they cover powerful, calming neurovascular points.
- Close your eyes and take a few breaths in this position.
- If you are uncomfortable with the thumb/index finger on your temples, just use your thumb (see diagram).
- Pull your fingertips out across the forehead to each temple then up over, down behind the ear, down the back of the neck and come to rest on the ‘necklace’ line.
- Press in here for a couple of seconds before pull both hands off the front of the neck and shake your hands off.
- Bring them back to the third Eye area between the eyebrows
- Close your eyes and connect into the area
- Trace a heart around the outside of your face
- Trace down the front of your throat
- Land on K27 points and buzz them
- Cross your arms like a genie, with little fingers nestling in the elbow crease
- Bring both arms up the top part of the arm until they are resting in Pharaoh position
- (Think of these ancient rulers sitting with crossed arms over their chests)
- Pull hands over chest to land on either side of breasts
- Give them a wiggle and think Marilyn Munroe! Smile and for this one change the affirmation to OH! I’M SO BEAUTIFULand give a little laugh and wiggle your hips.
- Travel down the front of your body and squeeze the sides of your feet.
- Place fingers on the medial (inside next to air) side of the big toes and trace all the way up spleen meridian: up the front of your body, out a bit up over the ribs, into the armpit and down to the edge of the ribs
- Bring your hands over your heart area
- Take a few seconds to connect to your heart and a feeling of Love and gratitude
Make this the start and finish of each day for a week and see how you feel.
For the Regulator portion, if you are not sure – go on THE VIDEO TAB and there is a clip of me doing it in the back yard!
