Holiday Stress

How do I maintain my center while interfacing with family and friends during large holiday gatherings?

Sparky is preparing to host Thanksgiving at her house tomorrow and is in search of how to keep her energies humming and triple warmer calm.  Sparky reached out to Donna and some EEM Certification Program graduates for advise on how to get through the holidays and keep her cool.

Hook-Up

Donna Eden wrote back saying:

"Above all, stay out of fear.  If you find yourself there, blow it out.....and then zip up with grand affirmations.  Stay hooked up, do a Celtic Weave as many times as you want during the day.  Do Faerie Flows and also do Blow Outs if something hits you, then zip up  with confidence.  Do not forget the 5 minute routine 2 or 3 times a day or any part of it that especially affects you.

 
If you get on overload, sit down and do a crown pull & hold your neurovasculars.  Hook up again."

Sparky's friend, Kelmie Blake, EEM Advanced Practitioner said:

"Get your energies solid before you get there - ground yourself (gaits, hook-up, belt flow), strengthen your aura (celtic weave, darth vader breath, more hook-ups), make sure people that zap you are not seated on your left (more vulnerable side), & cross over as much as you can (ankles, Tibetan prayer pose, etc).  The Triple Warmer/Spleen hug is good too - and if people ask what you are doing, you can just pretend you are cold.  ; )"

So what is Sparky going to do?  Lots of hooking up, weaving my energies and figure eights ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ all over me, the turkey and the whole house!

Another favorite that Sparky will include is the Mellow Mudra, it helps to calm triple warmer and cool down the heat.  Elsie Kerns, EEM Certified Practitioner, has a great video on YouTube demonstrating the Mellow Mudra.

What other things do you do to keep your cool during the holidays?

Happy Thanksgiving

Scrambled Energies & Time Change

Does the time change have your eN3rGiEs sCr@mBLed?

Sparky here, was trying to plan in advance for the time change so I wrote to Donna Eden, Dondi Dahlin, and some EEM Certified Practitioners asking what to do help my energies and meridians adjust to the time change on Sunday.

On Thursday, Kelmie Blake, EEM-AP wrote to Sparky saying "What I like to do is, a few days before the time change (as in, I should start this today [[Nov. 4]] ), I trace my meridians with the new time, to get my system used to it. So, if I were to trace my meridians right now, at 9 am, instead of starting with Spleen, I would start with Stomach.  I also usually do them another time before bed with the new time." 

The EEM Certification Program Halloween
Party Winner "Scrambled Energies"

Well, Sparky failed to heed Kelmie's advise, zoomed through the beautiful, sunny fall weekend with my family and woke up this Monday morning with scrambled and confused energies compiled with "a case of the Monday's."  On the way to take the kiddo to school, scatter brained, I stopped at the warning sign that tells you there is a stop sign ahead, I drive this road every day! I shut my scarf in the door, I asked the boy three times if I gave him lunch money,  and turned down the wrong street.  I did a hook up and found a little relief, at least to drive the right direction. As I drove down the road I was thinking "gee, I should have followed Kelmie's advise on Thursday." As I sit down with the laptop for work, I come to my email and find a wealth of solutions for my scrambled energies! And, not so coincidentally, pictures from the EEM-CP Halloween Party with the winner being "Scrambled Energies."

Donna wrote to Sparky saying "After making sure that your energies are going forward, unscrambled and crossing over, hook up for at least a minute and trace the meridians from the new time of day.  Should be enough! If not, go to Energy Medicine and follow the tapping protocol ....but not waiting anytime in between. Tapping the ends of the meridians would be sufficient as well. And probably EFT tapping. But the suggestions other than EFT should work fabulously and they have in the past.  One particularly scrambled-energy person I know needed to do the 5 minute routine after tracing. Love, Donna"

Excited about that email, I start by doing the three thumps for a minute each and move on to read the rest of my emails.

Jyoti Rawlinson, EEM-CP wrote to Sparky saying "This is good when you're going through any kind of transition and is about letting go ...

Transition

For any kind of transition, e.g. coming down from a flight, if you're having a hard time ending things or feeling stuck. This exercise works with TW (Triple Warmer) to break the habit, as TW fights change:

• Place hands behind the head, thumbs behind the ears. Drag thumbs (Lung)* up and around the ear crease line and end at the temples. Slide hands over Neurovaculars (frontal).

• TW gets in alignment and helps you let go.

*Lung – this deals with letting go."  

And Sue Powell, EEM-CP wrote saying "I agree with Kelmie - that is the most straight forward thing to do."

Sparky having her meridians traced
at the San Diego 5-Day.

Here's what I did to get the "Spark" back in "Sparky" on this scrambled Monday following the time change.

• Three thumps, again, for a minute each
• Homolateral Cross Crawl
• Wayne Cook

These got my energies unscrambled and crossing over as Donna suggested.  Now to get them flowing with the new rhythm.

• Hook up, holding it for over a minute and experiencing deep sighs of breath and alignment
• Trace Meridians
• Connecting Heaven and Earth
• Figure eights all around
• Transition exercise as described by Jyoti, above

Whew! Sparky found her spark through a jolt of Energy Medicine.

Figure Eights & Radiant Energies to all.  ~ Sparky!

Connecting Heaven and Earth

How to pick yourself up at your droopy time of day.

Take a break from your activity and do an energy exercise that activates your respiratory system. Try this quick and simple exercise called, Connecting Heaven and Earth. It helps rejuvenate by pulling in extra oxygen, releasing carbon dioxide, stretching the body so energy can more readily flow through it, and opens the joints, releasing trapped energy.

Step 1. Rub your hands together and shake them off.
Step 2. Place your hands on the front of your thighs with your fingers spread
Step 3. With a deep inhalation, circle your arms out to your side
Step 4. On the exhalation, bring your hands together in front of your chest in a prayer position.
Step 5. Again with a deep inhalation, separate your arms from each other, stretching one high above your head and flattening your hands back, as if pushing something above you. Stretch the other arm down, again flattening your hand as if pushing something toward the Earth. Look up to the heavens. Stay in this position for as long as is comfortable.
Step 6. Release your breath through your mouth, returning your hands to the prayer position in front of your heart.
Step 7. Repeat, switching the arm that rises and the arm that lowers. After this first set, do two more sets.
Step 8. Coming out of this pose the final time, drop your arms and allow your body to fold over at the waist. Hang there with your knees slightly bent as you take two deep breaths. Slowly return to a standing position with backward roll of the shoulders.

(This exercise copied from pg 266 of the Energy Medicine Book).
I personally find this exercise to be useful during the holidays when there seems to be so much to do and not enough me to get it all done!
