hi i'm donna i'm dondi i'm titanya welcome to the better breathing challenge
this is the perfect time to do a challenge with us seven days seven techniques
we'll do them with you every day and you can breathe better from this challenge
all these eden energy medicine techniques are great for being in a pandemic it also is wonderful
because we are in the place of cold and flu season but it's also good for when you're walking when
you're running when you're swimming it helps all of it because we are affecting the lungs
so we're going to begin with the thymus thump and the thymus is right here behind your sternum
and if you if you tap it you can tap it you can really hit it hard you can slap it with your
hands but when you thump uh you're making t cells your um your energy turns on more because this
the thymus thump moves stress out of the body and suddenly you have more vitality so here's what i
would suggest you do take breathe in long and slow and then out slower okay so here's how you go go
i'm going to do that again now you're going to harness the power of the exhale and really
let it out you release toxins you release carbon dioxide it's just very very good oh and you turn
on your sympathetic your parasympathetic nervous system which also um contains your vagus nerve
so next we're going to do the lung flush now the lung flush pertains to lung meridian and lung
meridian goes from here all the way down like that but we're going to go backwards on it once
so that we can flush it out so you can start at your thumb and go straight up the shoulder
and off right there at lung one now we're gonna go forward three times and you can do the same thing
we can take a deep breath in through our nose and then harness the power of the exhale one more time
and now this side from the thumb up to the shoulder to the chest
right there on lung one and then forward three times
all right and mom they don't have to know where lung one is if you use your whole hand you'll
hit it right absolutely yes there's no uh yes so don't worry about that lung one is you'll know it
if you're into acupressure but use your whole hand and you'll hit it so next we're going to
the sternum bone and the area is from about here at the top of the breasts to about here and we're
going to rub it get in there and massage with pressure you can also go up and down if you'd like
you're activating this area that is protecting the lungs it's protecting the heart and it also
activates the thymus which mom just talked about so you want to do it with some pressure and you
know what if it's tender that's okay right that's so natural oh okay and if you're doing any kind of
exercises that uh really um calls upon your longevity this is excellent to do beforehand
yes and do keep in mind that everything we're doing in this challenge in the lungs is going
to move your lymphatic fluid which doesn't move on its own you have to move it with your hands or
with an activity okay so that's the sternum bone next we're going to lung points now these points
go from there it's in the middle between the breast and the shoulder right over here on the
side but if you use all the pads of your fingers you're sure to hit it for me i have a little notch
mom says she doesn't and for me it's a little tender it's a little tender on me too and for
me it's a little indent so everybody is different but if you hit this area remember tatanya always
reminds me halfway between the breast and the shoulder right here and you want to do both
sides and this can clear phlegm from the respiratory system all right those were your
lung points next next we're going to do the next stretch and this next stretch is really good for
a sore throat but it also connects into the vagus nerve and that vagus nerve goes all over the body
bringing oxygen everywhere and it is also good for infections so let's do it
we're going to take our hands and we're going to stretch our hands on the bottom of your chin
all the way to underneath your ear where there is a point a triple warmer point connected to fight
flight or freeze from that point we're gonna come down stretching the neck connecting into the vegas
nerve and landing on the heart chakra right in the middle of your chest let's do it on the other side
we're going to stretch along the jawbone underneath the ear a triple warmer point
stretch along the neck breathe in and out coming down to the center of the chest all right so the
next one is the digestive breathing now they say that breath goes all the way into your digestion
and so it's really good to bring oxygen there too it may look similar to cat and cow in yoga
but it's a little different so we're going to bend down on our thighs our our thumbs in the middle
of our thighs facing inward and we're going to bend down and very slowly we're going to
breathe in through the nose and as we do we're going to pull up on our tummy
hold it there for a moment and then we're going to release our back side open up our chest
through the mouth breathing out and let's do it one more time in
pull up on your tummy hold it and then out
yes that's a wonderful one for the digestion so we're going to end by putting our hands
right over our lungs right over the lungs you are also in the heart chakra
but this is just excellent because your hands have electromagnetic energy on them so you're bringing
healing right into your lungs you can do one or two very long slow deep breaths and then out
and you can when you're at this place it's it's sort of natural to bring um gratitude and gladness
and appreciation and just a sense of all as well in the world but if it doesn't feel like all is
well in the world then you can also bring prayer to this place uh but you're you're putting it
right into your lungs and the lungs carry old grief ancient grief uh present grief what if
you're feeling grief you're bringing healing into your lungs right now so uh we'll see you tomorrow
bye
