11:55Sometimes it's not easy to just
11:57ground and go inside of yourself and
11:59just kind of opened things up and
12:01just remember how important you are.
12:03So thank you for taking the time to do that.
12:07For our self massage today,
12:09I know we've gone through much of the body,
12:12but we're just going to spend a little time
12:16since we've worked the Shockers this week.
12:19It's sort of folk.
12:20We've been focusing on this
12:22center front of the body.
12:24I think we're just going to go to our
12:27abdomen today and we're going to do
12:30a little bit of abdominal massage.
12:32It's just a very light and a very gentle,
12:36noninvasive type of massage.
12:37We could often have issues when were
12:39maybe under some stress with digestion.
12:42Uhm, and this could just help to open
12:45things up an relax them a little bit.
12:49Um, what we're gonna do to begin is
12:51there are actually two acupressure
12:53points that I'm just gonna move
12:55my screen down so you could see a
12:58little better my abdominal area.
13:00We have the conception vessel
13:026 and a conception vessel, 12.
13:04So we're just going to start our
13:06download massage with a couple
13:08of acupressure point holes.
13:10So if you just take your fingers
13:12and you know those two soon or two
13:15finger widths below your belly button,
13:17you gonna find comes.
13:20Conception vessel sex.
13:21So this is going to be very light pressure.
13:24You gonna take your index finger or your
13:27index finger on your middle finger,
13:29whatever you prefer.
13:31And you had just crashed.
13:33An holds press in a little bit.
13:37And holds.
13:41Very important to breathe,
13:43as you're doing this.
13:49Deep breaths in and out as you pressed
13:52on this acupressure point, it's just
13:55a really good release for digestion.
14:02Little circles are fine, which is
14:06press and hold. As you breathe.
14:14Excellent. We're going
14:18to move up to conception vessel 12,
14:20which is halfway between the
14:22belly button and their web page.
14:24So the base of the rib cage
14:26and a top of the belly button.
14:29And we're just going to go halfway right.
14:32There could use 1 two,
14:33even three fingers right here.
14:36Right in the middle.
14:39And again, we're just going to gently
14:42press in very gentle pressure in an holes.
14:46Or president in very small circles
14:49around and you're gonna do your circles.
14:51You want to always do them in
14:55a clockwise motion. Around.
15:00And continue the breath.
15:02Deep breaths in and out as
15:04you work the point.
15:10Around or just press and hold.
15:17Good.
15:21At this point you may start to feel release.
15:23You may even feel your shoulders
15:25to start to drop and your sits
15:27bone sort of ground a little bit.
15:29Could you just kind of releasing
15:32the whole abdomen abdominal area?
15:37Good, excellent.
15:38Now we're going to move on to a
15:41little gentle abdomino massage.
15:43So again, we're going to
15:45work in a clockwise motion,
15:47always in a clockwise motion.
15:49So we're going to start right
15:51here in the lower quadrant.
15:53The lower quadrant here,
15:55and we're going to be making basically a box.
15:59The Box is going to go up to
16:02the base of your rib cage.
16:05Right below the rib cage or cross.
16:10Down. Add across again,
16:13that's the movement that
16:15we're going to be doing.
16:17Uh, and breathe a cross.
16:21Down and across now you could do this
16:25in your own way at your own pace.
16:29A little bit of pressure,
16:31not too much pressure.
16:33But just make sure that as you're doing this,
16:37you're relaxing.
16:38So that's going to involve
16:41continuing your breath.
16:43And you're going to form a
16:46flow for yourself however you
16:48want to alternate your hands.
16:51And just keep that flow and
16:54that motion going.
16:55So I'm going to be quiet for a
16:58minute or so because I want you to
17:00sort of get into your own flow.
17:03And keep it
17:04going with your breath.
17:51seconds. Just keep up flow going.
17:55And keep the breath moving.
18:08don't we do one more
18:14for clockwise motion around?
18:21Had a deep breath in and when
18:25you've completed that last cycle,
18:28just take your hands and hold them right
18:32on your belly button and just pressing.
18:37Ground your feet on the floor.
18:40And take 3 deep breaths in.
18:45Holden Exhale
18:51And one more deep breath in.
19:01An Exhale. Excellent,
19:04excellent, very, very good.
19:06That's not easy to do, it's a very
19:09sensitive area to massage on yourself,
19:11so I thank you for taking the time to
19:14do that and having the courage you know
19:17to experience that sort of massage.
19:20Again, this is something that you can
19:22always do at home when you feel the need
19:26to so you feeling it in your belly.
19:28Your kind of holding your stress.
19:31It's just a nice way to do
19:33that and relax an it does.
19:35It could help with digestion as well.
19:39OK, so thank you all again for
19:41joining an we say made a longtime
19:44sunshine upon you at all.
19:46Love surround you may the pure
19:49light within you guide your
