- Satnam and welcome back to our healing series.
It's my pleasure to guide you through another exercise
that will alleviate pain in our ankles.
An area we often neglect but it can be so painful
if we feel the pressures of the modern life,
specially for women who wear heels.
This is something we wanna focus on.
I also wanna remind you if you haven't yet done so,
make sure you've subscribed to our channel,
that you have hit the bell for notifications
and that you have already subscribed to the email list
so that you can receive updates
when we release our next episode.
So let's begin by placing our left foot in front of us.
So within reach of your hands.
And you're gonna place your thumbs in the middle here
underneath the foot.
And slowly we're gonna start working the area
from the middle of the heel
all the way around the achilles point
with the thumbs firmly pressing and massaging that area,
to about four inches of the tendon here.
So this whole area really, really helps
unlock the ankle and gets us release and break down
crystals or calcifications that we accumulate around here.
So just gently massaging and if you're pressing enough,
you start noticing your toes start actually shifting.
So give yourself a good massage with your thumbs
all around the heel.
Just waking up the energy.
We're gonna go for about two minutes on each side.
Just keep up the time.
And you can do that any day you feel
that you may have some pain
on your ankles and this can go all the way up to the knees.
We never really spend time noticing, ow, what a pain.
I certainly feel it, I hope you do too.
So just make sure you rhythmically
and dynamically massage your heel
all the way from the middle to the top.
And don't neglect the tendon that goes from the heel
to the ankle.
(chimes chiming)
It's a little bit of me time
that you can do anytime before going to bed
or when you wake up.
It helps and feels so nice.
And you can focus where you feel the most pain
or pressure or stiffness.
The heel is tricky because you don't,
it's obviously a harder skin
and it's more difficult to get into.
But just do your best.
And as always, send some love to the area we're working on.
And now switch the legs.
I'm gonna put the right leg flat on the floor.
Again, take your thumbs
and we're gonna start massaging the heel of our right leg.
Don't forget to apply enough pressure
so that you can feel the massage
and the release of tension.
Vigorously massage, give it your best.
Really take time to acknowledge
what's happening in the body,
just send your awareness and see how's that feeling.
Don't forget the tendon as well, four inches above the heel.
Sometimes we need our own healing energy of our hands
to send the love and the healing power to the body.
Beautiful.
All right.
It's actually very relaxing.
I hope you've enjoyed it
and I'll see you in the next one, satnam.
