fun full lotus moves: finger toe spacers, and slapping palms to bubbling wells

 

(more detail to follow another day)

Both of these moves done starting from full lotus sit.

if you can't do full lotus, this also works from an easy partial  half lotus kind of position, so long as you have good access to your feet with your hands.


1. finger toe spacers: interlace your fingers with your toes.

For most people, this will have the effect of toe spacers 


left hand 5 finger to 5 toes of right foot.

right hand 5 fingers to 5 toes of left foot.

If anything hurts, it shows poor circulation of blood, qi, etc.

Doing this move acts as accupressure and will help dissolve blockages, pain, and discomfort over time.


1b. rotate feet and hands about ankles and wrists

with your interlaced hands and feet still attached to each other, you can make circular motions


2. slapping palms to bubbling wells, HARD.

the centers of your palms on the hands, and the equivalent spots on your feet (bubbling wells),

are major centers of energy. 

Slapping hands to feet very hard, helps to dissolve blockages.

How do you know it's working?  Over days and weeks, You may feel itchiness, on other parts of your arms and legs, or dark spots on your skin forming from lymph fluid carrying away particles that were stuck in your lymphatic system. 

When qi is flowing better in not just your hands, feet, but whole body, you will be able to tell the difference if you pay attention.

How many times should you slap yourself? 

I always go with the buffet sampler approach. I do 48 reps and then my body tells me if I need to do more. 

It's just like 4 jhāna progression. If your body feels pain, it's part of the process of your body transforming from stiff and blocked into soft and smooth energy flow. When it's getting soft, body gives you large physical sukha as inducement to tell you not to stop yet.

When transformation is complete, just like fourth jhana you get neutral sensations.


I literally slapped the shit out of myself this morning doing move #2 slapping my feet with palms

 

I slapped my feet about 48 times, and then I had to go excrete feces. After doing move #2, I had to go to use the bathroom #2. 


Remember the PV=nRT formula from chemistry and science class?

Jhanic force and the physical hand slap go where the "P" is in the formula.

I've also had to excrete feces after soaking my hands or feet a few minutes in hot water.

Science and jhanic force. It's real, it works, it's universal. 

What is the PV nRT law?
In such a case, all gases obey an equation of state known as the ideal gas law: PV = nRT, where n is the number of moles of the gas and R is the universal (or perfect) gas constant, 8.31446261815324 joules per kelvin per mole.
