Knee Pain?

 

Knee pain is common among adults, and it is usually associated with “wear and tear” from daily activities like walking, standing, going up stairs and so on.

In other words, knee pain seems to be caused by aging, and in fact it is, even though athletes who play sports that involve running or jumping are also likely to experience knee pain.

The secret to reduce or avoid knee pain, besides trying not to over charge your knees with excess weight, abrupt movements, and extreme pivoting, is an energy point located next to your hips.

This point is a connection between your lower body and your torso, so when you keep it open you allow energy to flow properly between both, and of course, to get to your knees where you need it the most.

This point is in the hollow area right behind your hip bones (on both hips) at the level of your pubic bone. To stimulate this point and trigger energy flow, make a fist with both hands and tap as firmly as you can without discomfort.

Do this for one to three minutes, three times a day or as needed.

This energy stimulation is also beneficial to reduce or avoid sciatic pain and numbness in the legs, as well as to restore damaged cartilage not only in the knees but also in the hips.

To keep not only your knees but your whole mind and body in good shape, start by practicing The Five Morning Habits to Win the Day..

 

Tension in the Neck?

 

When there is tension in the neck there tends to be no communication between the head and the torso.

When there is no communication between the head and the torso, there is no communication between the brain and the heart.

In case you have not read me before, according to Chinese metaphysical studies, the brain hosts the conscious mind, the decision maker, while the heart hosts the subconscious mind, which is the one connected to the universal wisdom.

In other words, the heart is wiser than the mind, and on top of that it is also humbler. Therefore, when there is no communication between the brain and the heart, the mind takes over and when the mind takes over, it does it without mercy. It can lead us to great inventions, but it can also immerse us in deep states of anxiety and depression.

To promote communication between the head and the torso, which supports communication between the brain and the heart, massage your C7 vertebra, which is the protruding bone toward the top of the spine, at the bottom of the neck. Do it as follows:

  • Use either hand and massage around the vertebra in a circular way.
  • Squeeze the skin around the vertebra and hold it tightly for three seconds, and then release and squeeze again.

Follow one or both methods for two or three minutes, two or three times a day or as needed.

Massaging C7 is also beneficial when there are headaches, colds, fever, and shoulder pain.

Add massaging C7 to your morning routine for increased benefits.
