Sometimes after waking from our alarm clocks we remain lathargic…zzz....it ....takes... time.... to... find...ourselves. Not just in the bathroom mirror but bring our brains and bodies online.
To wake up your nervous system and tune your body to help improve mood and neural drive, try this tapping sequence:
Benefits include:
- promotes mental relaxation and lightness in the body
- improved immune system through lymphatic drainage
- decreases stress and cortisol levels
- improves nerve conduction
- improve spacial awareness/proprioception and balance
- decrease swelling and water retention
- AND FEELS AHHH-MAZING!! A moment of bliss.
The lymphatic system is a circulatory system, involving the lymph nodes, tonsils, thymus and spleen. The lymphatic system assists in monitoring the immune system, transporting fatty acids from the digestive track, and the removal of interstitial fluid and toxins from the body through urine, fecal matter and sweat.
The lymphatic system additionally transports white blood cells from the bones. The lymphatic system does not have an involuntary pump like our digestive and circulatory system, it relies on stimulated movement and vibration through exercise, stretching and massage. "Without adequate movement, cells remain in their own waste products creating an environment that contributes to arthritis, cancer, and other degenerative diseases."http://www.uakb.org/source/2020%20HAZ%C4%B0RAN%20K...
As a child we would run, skip, frolick, jump and play on the trampoline....have you done any one of these movements like a kid in the last week? Another great tool that has become a frequent home health tool in the last few years is a mini-trampoline. It is a great tool to stimulate lymphatic drainage for the population of cancer patients and also bring energy and brain activity to think tank icons...maybe yourself included!
I invite you to continue to build your internal foundation: breathe, take off your sheos and move and take up space! Exercise is medicine! If you are struggling to find your footing try out the tapping exercise above for the next 7 days (It will take 2.5 to complete) and let me know how you feel! It's simple, effective and FREE to you, [FIRST NAME GOES HERE]!!👋🏼🙂 ....a tool is only as good as its use in your life!
Either way, thank you for tuning in to read and taking away a tool to improve your quality of life and make health habit! 💪🏼🙂
