Patting It Away

Full body patting stimulates meridian channels through which subtle energy flows. It helps clear energy blockages, encourages clear thinking, and interrupts the cycle of stress. 

This can be done while sitting or lying down but is most effective when standing.

Using your hands in a relaxed but open position:

Pat lightly and steadily down your body starting at top of head

Down both sides of face

Back of head and neck

Shoulders down each arm, one at a time

On the back as far as comfortably reachable from shoulders down

Armpits, down side and front of torso

Down each leg, one at a time, first down sides of each and then front/back

If a slightly different order of patting feels more natural to you, follow your intuition. Enjoy this uplifting practice and work on decreasing the stress you are feeling.
