 Hello, Earth citizens. In this video, I will show you a 10 minute routine to do for something called longevity walking. Now, when we try to take care of our health or change something about our physical, emotional, and mental body, we try to think of something new, some grand method that will fix all of our problems. But actually, changing the way that you do something already can also have great benefits on your health. Take, for example, something as simple and common as walking. Did you know that the way that you walk can really determine whether you're walking in a way that promotes your health or walking in a way that deteriorates your health? So in this video, I will show you a way to walk that helps you boost your health, which is why it's called longevity walking. Longevity walking starts with placing your foot on a certain point at the bottom of your feet. That point right here, which is underneath the balls of your foot between the ball and the arch. There's like a tender soft spot right here at the base of your foot. Press right here and you will feel a tender soft spot. That point is called the Yongchun point. That point specifically is the acupressure point that stimulates your kidneys. And we all know that kidneys are related to stress and fatigue. So follow me. You want to first lean your body forward slightly, not backwards like this. Most of the times we kind of walk slumped over backwards, but you want to slightly like five degrees. Lean forward. And when you walk, lift your knees so you're not dragging your feet like this. Lift your knees and swing your arms. But when you place your foot on the floor, you want to feel like your Yongchun point is pushing on the floor like this. You know like those cats that do little massages? Kind of like that. The Yongchun point of both of your feet should be the one that is pressing on the floor. Usually when we want, we lean with our weight on our heels or our weight on our toes. But you want the weight to be right at the Yongchun point and step on the Yongchun point like this. You want to lift your knees a little bit, not too high, but lift your knees so that when your feet come in contact with the earth, they get stimulated. The Yongchun point gets stimulated. Now swing your arms, open your chest as if you are confidently opening your heart to the world. Walk. Let's walk here. Now if you've got the motion down, I encourage you to close your eyes so that you can focus on your body. When you close your eyes and walk this way, first feel your shoulders. Do your shoulders feel tight? If they do, try to relax your shoulders a little bit and exhale out any tension you feel inside. As you swing your arms, you might feel some heaviness opening from your chest. That's a great sign. Exhale out. Can you still feel the Yongchun point at the base of your feet coming in contact with the earth with each step? Stimulating the Yongchun point, you are activating your kidneys. When you activate your kidneys, you'll be able to create more energy in your kidneys, reduce your stress levels, and bring your energy back into harmonious balance. Keep feeling your body. What changes do you notice inside of your body as you are walking this way? If you're very sensitive to energy, you might feel heat. Your body might start to feel hot, and if you're very sensitive to energy, you will start to feel saliva forming in your mouth. Saliva forming in your mouth is a very good sign. It's evidence that your kidneys are becoming activated. Even if you don't feel it, that's okay. Keep going. It doesn't all happen at the same time for everybody. Keep going. Keep feeling your Yongchun point. Make sure your bodies lean slightly five degrees forward so you're not backwards like this. Slightly forward, moving your arms to open your chest, lifting your knees so that your Yongchun point receives powerful stimulation. Keep breathing out. Focus on your body. Feel your body. Where do I feel heavy? How do my shoulders feel? How do my arms feel? What about my chest? Do I have any tension in my shoulders, arms, and chest? If you do, move your arms a little bit more vigorously to loosen up the tension and exhale out through your mouth. Now feel your abdomen, your organs. Sometimes when you have a lot of blockage in your organs, you might feel some pain as you walk like this. If you do, exhale out. What about your hip joints? Do I have any tension in my hip joints? If you do, breathe out. What about your thighs? Feel your thighs. Your thighs might feel a little bit tired from all the lifting, but it's okay. You're strengthening your muscles there too. Exhale. If you want an added bonus, exhaling out with a gentle smile is even better. Does your body feel warmer? Do you feel saliva in your mouth? Try to relax your body as much as possible to the bottom of your feet. What about your knees? Relax tension from your knees. Breathe out all heavy energy, stressful energy from your knees. Your calves, relaxed your calves, ankles, and feel your feet once again, bottom of your feet. Are you still pressing from your Yongcheon point? That's the most important part. As you walk, you are pressing the Yongcheon point in between the balls of your feet and the arch. That soft spot right in the center. That spot again is connected to your kidney. So you are really quickly and powerfully activating your kidneys now. Alright, let's walk for one more minute. In the last 60 seconds, try to open your chest as wide as you can. Walk with the most confidence as if you are walking, declaring yourself to the world. For 60 seconds, feel your Yongcheon. Open your chest. Exhale out any tension, heaviness, make your energy bright and light. 30 seconds. Yongcheon, Yongcheon, Yongcheon, Yongcheon, Yongcheon, Yongcheon, Yongcheon. 15 seconds. 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, relax your arms, take a deep breath in from your abdomen. Open your chest wide and exhale out through your mouth. One more time. Breathe in, open your chest all the way down to your abdomen. One last time. Open to your abdomen and exhale. Great job. How do you feel? Do you feel warm? If you're very sensitive to energy, if your Yongcheon point was very powerfully stimulated, you will feel very hot and lots of saliva in your mouth. Even if you don't, that's okay. Not everyone gets this energy circulation at the same time. So if you didn't feel it yet, try watching this routine one more time and doing another 10 minutes of walking, I guarantee you will feel a difference. You did great. So now when you walk, whether you're walking to your car, whether you're walking to the refrigerator, to the TV, to the bathroom, when you're walking, try to change the way you walk to longevity walking. Even if you change that small habit of how you're walking from this to this, you'll be able to quickly change your physical, emotional, mental energy as well.
