 Hello Earth citizens. In this video I will show you a 10 minute routine to do for something called toe tapping. Toe tapping is an exercise that's unique to brain education and the biggest benefit to toe tapping is to quiet mental chatter. So if you're someone who is prone to thinking a lot and you're always in your head and you can't quiet your thoughts, in energy practice we say that that's because all of your energy that should be in your core to ground you has floated up to your head and is causing a lot of activity up here. So people who have a lot of thoughts, they have trouble sleeping, they can have brain fog, they can have anxiety because too much activity in the head when it should be here in the core. So toe tapping exercise is to kind of balance that out. So if you're really head heavy, you activate your lower half of your body to balance the scale this way so that the amount of stimulation that is in your body is equal instead of like this. So I'll show you how to do toe tapping to bring the activity, bring overheated activity from your head down to your feet to balance the scale of energy distribution inside of your body. Alright so to do this exercise you need a mat because we're going to be lying down and also you don't need this today but when you practice this at home make sure you have your phone so you can keep time because we're going to do repeated sets of one minute rest one minute rest ten times. Alright okay so lie down on the floor make sure you're lying down on carpet or a yoga mat please don't lie down on plain hard floor or tile because it's kind of cold and bad for your back. Alright so lie down with your palms facing up relax your legs and let's take a few breaths inside inhale in through your nose all the way to your abdomen exhale out through your mouth two more times breathe in exhale out one more time breathe in exhale out bring your legs together and the key to toe tapping it's very simple you just tap your big toes together but the important part is you move your entire leg you see how all the way up to my hip joints my leg is moving so you're shaking from your hips down to your toes open so please don't tap like this you see how stiff my legs look my hips are locked my knees are locked but my toes are tapping this is not how you should do it like this like that yeah and you might feel some pain when you do it depending on how much blockage you have in your legs but when you feel pain don't stop exhale out we'll do repeated sets of one minute ten times alright so I'll count time on my phone all you have to do is tap your toes together and feel your body alright this is set number one are you ready okay start make sure you're moving all the way up to your hip joints if you can try to tap at the speed that I am not too fast not too slow but enough that you can feel your hip joints thighs knees ankles feet shaking open as you tap relax your entire body breathe if you have a lot of blockage in your hips you will feel pain okay feel your body you will start to feel some tingling sensation maybe at your toes maybe at your thighs whatever it is that you feel feel the energy flowing relax your body breathe in exhale as you exhale imagine you are putting down releasing all heavy thoughts heavy emotions heavy energy two more times we then exhale last one we then and exhale okay one minute again ready start make sure you are really tapping your toes together how this works is you're causing stimulation at the bottom half of your body so that it balances all this activity that's going on in your head so by tapping your toes together you're bringing stimulation to your feet so that more energy will go there keep relaxing keep breathing you're doing great make sure you can feel all the way to your hip joints that's very very important okay stop feel your body take a deep breath in exhale as you breathe out release heaviness from your body again breathe in as you exhale imagine you are pushing out heavy energy through your pores last one good job tapping again one minute as your legs start to open you might feel moving your legs back and forth like this gets a little bit easier even though you feel pain try to relax your legs as much as you can exhale your body you'll feel the tingling sensation has become bigger and if you're very sensitive to energy you can feel the tingling sensation has become deeper good stay connected to the sense of energy flowing inside tingling warm coldness magnetism those are all energy sensations so stay with that feeling and let's do set number four ready start the key here is relaxing your whole body even your hips shoulders chest neck head knees ankles feet thighs everything should be relaxed if you feel too much pain smile and breathe okay stop relax your body take a deep breath in expanding your abdomen exhale out as you do imagine have the energy being pushed out of your body through your poor it's ready starts notice how with each set your body feels a little bit different maybe the energy sensation feels a little bit deeper wider maybe your hip joints feel a little looser or maybe you have some more pain in your knees whatever it is become aware of what your body is feeling each and every set and notice how it progresses and as you do each set don't forget to breathe you know the tingling by this time you can feel strong tingling sensations in your legs as the tingling sensations get stronger notice your brain your mind getting quieter maybe even sleepy all of the energy that was centered in your head is now slowly starting to move down to your feet to balance the energy flow inside breathe breathe and relax now one more minute set number six starts focus on the feeling of the toes tapping together leg shaking you don't need to think

through your whole body as if your body's like a sponge absorbing water breathe in exhale out squeeze from your pores like a sponge squeezing out heavy energy dark energy stagnant energy out of your body great job feel your body here now can you feel your mind is very quiet can you feel that the tingling sensation electric sensation in your body is very strong in your legs feet hands and if you're very sensitive to energy it might feel like your body is stuck to the floor you did a great job now slowly turn your body to the left side and sit up please how do you feel can you feel that by doing this all this activity that was in your mind became quiet more centered like there's a balance of energy in your body now yeah so if you have racing thoughts if you can't sleep at night it's because all the energy that should be in your core to balance you out on a scale it floated up to your head because we think a lot we get stimulated a lot by our brains so that's okay there's nothing wrong with being stimulated in the mind just we need to find some ways to balance out the stimulation inside so we do toe tapping to balance the weight the weight distribution of energy too much in the head not enough in the feet then what do you do cost stimulation here so the scales tip like this yeah and actually an energy practice the more energy that's in your lower half of the body the more grounded centered and peaceful you will feel I suggest repeating this exercise every day before you go to sleep especially if you're somebody who has trouble sleeping at night and especially if you know that you're in your head a lot you did a great job to experience a full one-hour brain education based class please visit a local body and brain yoga studio near you
