This is an amazing story of boys Thai Soccer team who after being trapped in a cave for ten days were found meditating! Their coach had been a Buddhist monk and taught them how to meditate in order to stay calm while waiting and hoping for rescue. They all made it out alive!
Stomach 36 energy point from Traditional Chinese Medicine which is the ‘DOES EVERYTHING’ point! It will revitalize and strengthen both the structure of the body: bones and muscles, as well as all the systems and organs of the body, including the immune system. If there is one point you press each day, this would be a great one!
HOW TO:
1. Cross your arms and press Stomach 36 points just below the knees, and just past the shin bones.
2. Rock and roll forward to back, or side to side if you prefer, while holding Stomach 36 for 2-5 minutes each morning, or when you need a pick-me-up! (try it instead of a coffee). You’ll be massaging and relieving tensions from your spine, back muscles, shoulders and neck. You’ll also be activating Water Element through the Bladder lines near the spine, and all the nerves flowing out of the spine creating a whole body and system treatment. And you thought you were just having fun!
