hi I'm Michelle Earnest from Nashville New Hampshire although right now I'm in
Annapolis Maryland with my good friend Sue Powell I'm an Eden energy medicine
advanced practitioner a member of the Eden energy medicine certification
faculty and the former director of education for Innersource and I'm Sue Powell
I'm also an Eden energy medicine
advanced practitioner and I am the former assistant to the director of
education I'm really excited about this joy challenge but Michelle I'm kind of
busy right now yeah I get that sue mean between you know seeing clients and
supervising students in creating classes they're just as so much to do and keeps
me from feeling that joy yeah and I'm overwhelmed with getting ready to travel
there's so much to do getting on the road for a week I don't know what do you
think I think we could do it it's just a few minutes it's just fun gonna put them
in come on okay oh just just for a couple mins okay Kim okay we're gonna do
this we're gonna do this we all need joy they're all nature alright so here we go
the first exercise we're gonna do is called blowing out the venom this is a
variation on an exercise that Donna has shown over many years and I need this
I'm gonna grab all that overwhelm all that worry I'm gonna grab it my hands
I'm gonna make fists and swing my arms up over my head and now I'm going to
come down very slowly letting go all that just blowing it out and when I get
there it goes and then I'm in a perfect position at my lower belly to just go
ahead and sit up and I could put an affirmation in if I want to or not well
first of all I have an information which was I can be busy and still be joyful so
that was great but now we're gonna go to another technique called the triple
warmer smoothie and this is an because this is about common triple
warmer which reduces your stress level how to make s'mores more space in the
body for the joy to come in so we're going to start just by rubbing your
hands together and shaking them off then you're gonna bring your hands up to your
eyes and take a nice deep breath in and then should exhale you're going to pull
to the temples and then inhale as you go up around the ears down the ears down
the neck down to the chest
when you do that you're just calm or I feel yes yes I I don't feel right this
panic yeah what's next so the next thing we're
gonna do is an exercise called connecting heaven and earth we start by
rubbing your hands shaking off the energy we're going to come to that
peripheral position and we're going to raise one hand to the heavens and one
hand towards the earth flatten your palms and really stretch this is great
for releasing stuck energy now come back to Center excellent inhale go up on the
other side flat palms really stretched because when you stretch you're
activating spleen Meridian as well and then come back to Center one more time
on each side oh this just feels so good making space and take two deep breaths
and now you're gonna make a few rays
I love that exercise even have any stagnation in your joints it's also
great for that sag one of my favorites so now that we've made space we've come
triple warmer we've activated some joy we need to be sure that we can hold them
inside of ourselves so we're gonna work with something called the Ming man power
stance and also the penetrating flow this is a nice technique that Donna has
come up with a sort of integrates pieces of other techniques that we teach in our
program but I love this variation of it so we're going to start by just placing
your hands on your main man which is your reverse enabled directly behind
your belly button and holding your arms back and assuming a powerful stance and
just feel powerful feel that comes straight up your body and all the way up
and feel the power just super surging through you then take your hands slide
slightly down the sacrum to activate that penetrating flow and back up over
the hips to the lower belly now take a deep breath come up with the front of
the body and land at the heart oh I think it went in deep oh yes and what I
love about this exercise ending here is it's exactly where we start the next
exercise which is the three hearts this activates our joy circuit that really
helps us connect to others to ourselves to our past and to our heart energy so
let's start by just tracing a big heart on your body down to the lower belly
just breathing in come straight up to the heart chakra again and two more
times
take a deep breath hmm I certainly feel more connected to my friend Michelle
yeah I feel more connected to su so now we're going to end with what is one of
my favorite exercises maybe it's one of yours too yes and I definitely think
it's one of Donna's favorite exercises and it's called heaven rushing in so
we're going to start by just rubbing your hands and shaking them off and then
bring your hands to your thighs and just take a moment to ground yourself feeling
the energy running down your body and into the earth then bring your hands up
to a prayerful position because we're starting something that's a bit sacred
and we're going to be connecting with some amazing energy and now you're going
to reach up to the heavens as you take a deep breath as you do that you're
opening yourself up to appreciation enjoy convention everything that you
need that's provided to you from the heavens and all you have to do is ask
and when you have enough you might feel a little tingling in your hands or
fullness in your arms just scoop that up and bring it right down into your heart
because there's a little more text they are called heaven rushing in and heaven
does rush in when you do this bringing all the gifts of connection joy and love
and appreciation you can't get better than that
but Michelle sometimes I feel like I might need a little bit more well so you
just go back up and get more because it's an inexhaustible source and all you
have to do is ask and it's provided so let it fill you again and scoop it up
bring it back down into your heart and just breathe and be thankful so this has
been a lot of fun this just wonderful really enjoyed sooo now you've really
enjoyed doing the joy challenge with you and we're grateful we had the
