hello friends i am dondi dahlin and i am here  with your daily energy routine challenge you've  

seen my mom you've seen my sister now you get me  and if you're thinking i don't really want to do  

this today i'm tired that's when you really need  to do it you can do it in your chair you can do  

it in bed you can do it on the couch or stand  up with me first we're going to do the four  

thumps you know where to go right here on the  cheekbones i like to do it with a bit of pressure  

you'll know what feels good to you this is for  grounding all right this goes right down to the  

feet on a meridian actually stomach meridian which  goes right down to the ground and next we're going  

to come down just below our collarbone these  points are called k27 you don't need to remember  

that they're the 27th acupressure points on kidney  meridian and kidney can give you a boost of energy  

so we're going to tap these you can also just  massage them or rub them or you know what if you  

don't like that you can create some warmth and  hold them so you make it right for you okay k27  

all right next to the thymus we're going to  come down a little bit more to the breast plate  

right here it's kind of a flat spot on the  chest and we're going to thumb that thump that  

and you know all about the thymus it builds  t cells and people say well why are we  

thumping it because after puberty it starts  to shrink anyway that's exactly why you're  

thumping it or hold it or massage it  lightly whatever feels good to you  

the energy of the thymus is still there  even when it shrinks after puberty  

and you want to activate that energy for  strength for vitality and then we're coming down  

below the bra line over here on the side of the  body you can even see the seam in my shirt we're  

going to come right here just into and kind of  below the rib cage and we're going to thump there  

oh my goodness we have some loud people over  there but that's okay we're going to keep going  

thump thump or just massage and rub  and there you had our four thumps  

i like to go all the way across this whole  area is good and you can do all of it all right  

what's next cross over shoulder pull reach  up opposite hip reach up opposite hip  

and cross and cross and if you have someone that  can do this on your back it feels so good fix my  

clothes here and keep crossing you can do this  anytime as many times a day as you would like  

take a nice deep breath and we're going to go  right into the cross crawl now remember this one  

you want to really get that crossing motion  and the the easiest way to do that is to really  

slap your leg slap your opposite leg from  your arm that's the easiest way to do it

cross crawl okay variation on the wayne cook i  think most of you if you're in this in this world  

of energy medicine you've heard of wayne cook he's  a he was a pioneer he really helped stutterers and  

he looked at the brain body connection and  this is one of those exercises that can help  

for stuttering if you can't find your words if  you're going into a performance i used to use this  

all the time when i was in theater before i go on  stage to remember my lines and really calm my mind  

so we're putting our arms out in front of us  palms facing and we're going to cross the arms  

flip them over clasp and under you can also cross  your legs if you'd like but you don't have to  

just if it's comfortable we like to cross  as many things as we can and breathe deeply

ah breathe with me i'm going  to breathe a few more times

now i'm going to unravel and do this on the  other side so now i'm uncrossing my arms to  

see which one was on top my right one was on top  my palms are facing out and now i'm going to cross  

my left arm on top cross clasp your hands pull  them underneath did you see that right through  

some of you will only get to here that's  totally fine some of you won't have the  

flexibility that's okay you can go this far and  envision the rest for those of you who can come  

all the way then come all the way with me and i'm  crossing my legs and i'm going to breathe deeply

i love the wayne cook and now we're  going to unravel and bring our thumbs  

to the third eye this is this is a really  amazing area with a lot of spirituality  

that connects to it because of the third eye and  the crown chakra and all of it being connected  

it's also a powerful energy of acupressure  points some of the very first acupressure points  

in your nervous system are right here always  good to calm your nervous system and we're going  

right into the crown pull everyone loves  the crown pool raking across the forehead  

you're covering all sorts of energies here oh my  gosh different organs in your body different limbs  

and you know what to do we're going  across across the top of our head

i'm going to turn so you can  see what i do on the back

you can see i like to use pressure your  pressure will be up to you what feels good  

when you do this every day you'll be able  to know what works for you all right fix my  

hair we're going to do connecting heaven and  earth i'm going to back up so you can see it  

hands on our thighs nice deep breath bringing  our arms to a pyramid position in front of us  

and one arm up one arm down you know it oh  it feels so good stretch stretch stretch  

and back to pyramid position in breath

and out breath nice inhale making space in your  body so everything works better your metabolism  

the energy flows better and  back together and one more

now we're going to roll over roll over with me my  knees are bent you can have yours bent or straight

fixing my clothes figure eight's  coming on up you know how it goes and

oh that's so great all right next is the  zip up starting at the pubic bone and  

coming to the bottom lip this is such  a terrific one for protection to feel  

like you can take on your day this is a great  one for kids if they have a little bit of  

hesitancy to to go out and be with other people  or go out and be with friends or maybe they're  

dealing with some bullies this is a great one i do  it over and over and over sometimes four or five  

times and last but not least one of my  favorites the hook up so fingers in the  

belly button and pull up fingers at the third  eye and pull up and you can sit if you need to  

you don't have to stand for this sometimes the  hook up is so powerful that you might get dizzy

i'm closing my eyes and i'm going to breathe

many of you know my story that i'm prone to  fainting and this is the exercise that is  

that has saved me more than any other exercise  in the eden method it's the hookup as soon as  

i feel wobbly as soon as i feel like uh oh i  might faint i sit down and i do the hook up

it really helps to create a force that  binds all the other techniques together

all right and guess what i'm going to give you  a bonus i'm going to give you a bonus today  

i'm going to back up a little bit because i want  to throw in the celtic weave the celtic weave is  

an exercise that we often throw in to the daily  energy routine because so many people love it and  

for me as a as a person who has been on stage  who has been on camera all of my life i really  

want my good energy to go out to people i want to  reach my crowd my audiences if you're a teacher  

and you want to reach your students this is one  that works with your aura it creates a really  

strong weave in your aura but it also helps  it to emanate out to the people around you so  

rub our hands together put them in  our thighs right on our thighs ah  

take a couple nice deep breaths people ask  why we put our hands on our thighs it's  

just for grounding to get that energy  really stable going down to the feet

in breath

and i'm going to bring my elbows together  

cross my arms and push out the energy and i'm  going slowly for you bring my elbows together  

cross and push out the energy fix my shirt and now  i'm going to start bending from the waist crossing  

continuing to cross all the way down to  my feet can you see my feet crossing here

and coming up and twinkling the energy all  around us you can also do a little quickie  

cross on the back if you'd like so that's the  celtic weave let's do it one more time quicker

oui that's all it takes so we're so happy you're  with us this week for the daily energy routine  

challenge and we will see you tomorrow bye-bye
