Full Body Awareness Written by Robert Morgen Continued from page 1 The other side of this is continually positive person who always approaches everything from a positive attitude. This doesn’t mean that everything always goes way she wants it, but if you’ll watch you’ll see that even bad times provide fuel for her growth and she tries to take every ‘bad experience’ as a lesson to help improve herself. Just as our thoughts can influence Chi subconsciously, so can they move it around in our body. Energy follows thought, so when you think about moving energy then it will actually go where you send it. The important thing here is to stay out of its way. Energy moves in a spiral and at its own speed, so don’t try to micro-manage it, just let it flow. Now take some time and do Full Body Awareness exercise again, and this time feel energy go where you send it. You can also play with this a bit. Send it down to your feet, now bring it back to your center and this time just send it down to your left foot, now your right. Now send it up to your head, and down to your left elbow. Now, next time you’re stuck in traffic, or impatiently waiting in line at Motor Vehicles Office, just relax and start to play with this. Isn’t this a neat toy?  --- Robert Morgen is a Reiki Master who currently holds a Black Belt in Hoshin Roshi Ryu and founded High Mountain Hoshin in Denver, Co.

Now make ‘fists’ with your feet by curling your toes in as far as you can until it hurts, then relax. Now let that relaxed feeling flow from your toes back over your feet and feel them relax. As you inhale draw that relaxed feeling up over your ankles and feel them relax completely. On exhale let any residual stress flow back out and down through earth. On your next inhale draw that relaxed feeling back up over your calves, letting them relax after walking all day. Then, draw that relaxed energy up over your thighs with next inhale. They’re biggest muscles in body, so let them relax and rest now. As you inhale feel that relaxed feeling flow up over your hips and buttocks. Feel stress bleed away. We store a lost of stress here, so take a moment and let this area relax. Now draw that relaxed feeling up over your stomach and lower back. Feel muscles in your back relax and feel your stomach move with your inhale. Bring energy up over your chest and middle of your back. Feel your heart area expand with relaxed energy and feel all accumulated stress in between your shoulder blades release and flow out and back down with your exhale. Draw feeling of relaxation up over your shoulders and neck. Feel any residual tension flow out with your exhale. Now let that relaxed energy flow up and over your head. Let muscles of your face and those at base of your skull relax. Now just sit here and feel this relaxed body that you have. Remember this feeling as its how you should feel all time. Tense muscles store energy, which means that your energy isn’t flowing through you, but rather sticking in certain places in your body. When your muscles are relaxed then your energy flows unimpeded leaving you feeling much lighter and more refreshed. --- Robert Morgen is a Reiki Master who currently holds a Black Belt in Hoshin Roshi Ryu and founded High Mountain Hoshin in Denver, Co.
