 Hello Earth citizens, this is Linda from Brain Education TV. If this is your first time, welcome! Subscribe to this channel, like this video, and click the bell for notifications of each new episode. In this video, I will lead you through a 10-minute routine of something called 지감 energy meditation. In Korean, 지감 means to stop your senses, which an easier term means stop racing thoughts and stop overstimulated emotions. So if you're somebody who feels overwhelmed by busy, busy thoughts and whirlwind of emotions, I highly recommend doing this JiGam energy meditation to calm your mind, calm your emotions, and connect your focus and attention back to your energy sense, which lies beyond your five physical senses. So let's get started. First, straighten your spine, close your eyes, and imagine an energy line, like a pull from the top of your head down to your forehead, neck, chest, lower back, all the way down to your tailbone, and try to make this energy line very straight, like it's holding up your body from the top of your head down to your tailbone. And if you're sitting on a chair, I suggest uncrossing your legs, make your feet flat on the floor, feel the contact of the feet with the earth. Take a deep breath in through your nose, and exhale out through your mouth. When you exhale, imagine all heavy energy from your body leaving. Again, deep breath in through your nose, and exhale out through your mouth. One last time, breathe in, and a very clearing exhale out through your mouth. Now slowly open your eyes. Have a soft gaze at the video without breaking your focus. Bring your palms now to about your chest level, right in front of your heart. Relax your fingertips, and tap the tips of your fingers together like this, lightly. As if you are trying to open the energy sense of your fingertips, tap your fingertips lightly. If you have this movement down, I suggest closing your eyes so you can feel the sensation on your fingertips. Let's tap for one minute. As you tap, make sure you breathe. I recommend breathing the same way that we did before, breathing in through your nose, and out through your mouth. Relaxing your shoulders, keeping your spine straight. You might feel some pain in your fingertips. That's okay. Keep breathing and tapping to open your body. Inhale, exhale out through your mouth. 30 more seconds. 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, and stop. Now relax your wrists and shake your wrists. Relax your fingers too, so you're not doing this. You're relaxing your fingers, shaking your wrists. Let's go one minute. If you have this motion down, again, close your eyes. Focus on your wrist and exhale out. Breathe in and out the same way, in through your nose, and out through your mouth. Keep your shoulders relaxed. Whole body relaxes. 30 seconds. You might feel some stiffness or pain in your wrists. This itself is very opening for your body, because many energy channels run through your fingers, run through your wrists. So by doing this, you're opening energy channels in your body. You're doing great. Keep going. 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, and stop. Now this time, relax your fingers and wrists and bring your palms very close, but not touching in front of your chest. Focus on the sensation in between your palms. You will feel a tingling sensation. You might feel a magnetic sensation too. You might feel some coldness or some warmth. And now focusing on that sensation, slowly move your palms in a circular motion, rotating around the center of your palms. Can you still feel the electric sensation, magnetic sensation, heat, coldness? Good. Now stop focusing on the middle of your palms. Now pull your palms out and in, as if your palms are breathing like lungs that expand when you breathe in and contract when you exhale out, expanding when you inhale, contracting when you exhale. Focus on the sensation of energy existing in between your palms, the tingling, magnetic sensation, any heat, any coldness, and continue to expand your palms as you inhale and contract your palms as you exhale. If you can feel energy well, try to expand your palms a little bit wider. If you went too wide where you feel the energy is disconnected, don't go that much. Just go as much as how you can feel the energy and contract. The important thing here is that you keep connected to the energy sense that you created in between your palms. Whatever that energy sense feels like to you, stay connected to that energy sense and open, close your palms as if you are playing with this energy sense in between your palms. When your mind is focused on the energy sense, you will feel your thoughts, your emotions will stop. The art of rewiring my brain to feel the energy sense, the sixth sense. And by doing so, stopping the mental chatter and the emotional chatter that is going on within me, this energy meditation is Jigam energy meditation. Now, when you can feel energy very well, you can move your arms a little bit more freely as if you are floating in an ocean of energy and you're swimming with energy in this ocean. Try to move your arms a little bit more freely again without losing the connection of energy in between your palms. Feel this energy sense for one more minute breathing in and out, riding on this wave of energy. You will feel your thoughts, your emotions becoming very quiet. 30 more seconds, couple more breaths. What energy sense do you feel in your body now? Has the energy sense that you're feeling now changed from when you started? Notice any changes, any developments in your energy sense that you feel now compared to before? Does your mind feel calmer? Does your heart feel quieter? Last one, breathe in and exhale. Now keep your eyes closed, slowly lower your palms to your knees, palms facing upward, breathe in through your nose and exhale out through your mouth. One more time, breathe in and exhale out through your mouth. Now slowly open your eyes. What do you feel in your body now? Does your mind feel a little bit quieter? Maybe it got quiet and now you feel a little bit sleepy. That's a very good sign. Does your heart feel a little bit calmer? Even here too, you might feel a little bit sleepy when the energy goes down into a calmer state. So whatever you feel is a good sign just as long as you feel slight change from when you started, that's an improvement. So notice any improvements that you feel in your body now and if you feel like you want to experience this exercise a little bit deeper or do it again, feel free to watch this video. If you do it more, do it longer and the deeper your mind goes into that quiet meditative state, you will feel more thoughts coming down, more emotions coming down. You'll feel the benefits more deeply. You did a great job. So at any time you have racing thoughts or overwhelming emotions and you don't know what to do with it, just take a step back and maybe even for like five minutes, feel the energy sense in between your palms because awakening this sixth sense, this sense to feel energy and to focus your mind on your energy sense is the fastest way to quiet the stimulation that you get from your five physical senses. So like sight, hearing, taste, smell, touch, those are very stimulating to us. So to shut them off, we developed the sixth sense which is the energy sense. That's how this Chigam energy meditation works. To experience a full one hour brain education based class, please visit a local Body and Brain Yoga Studio near you.
