 Hello Earth citizens. In this video I will show you a 10-minute routine to do for overall inflammation. So note that I want to say that of course that you can experience inflammation in different areas. So for example if you have inflammation in your fingers it would be different from if you had inflammation in your gut, different from inflammation in your knees and so on and so forth. But I wanted to do a routine for overall inflammation if you feel kind of puffy and heavy in your body to help move and circulate energy to reduce inflammation. So honestly speaking to help with inflammation any kind of mindful movement and exercises will help. So I'll do a routine together with you but I want you to focus on breathing out, exhaling out and when you exhale out through the movements imagine heavy energy that puffy stuffy energy that's making you feel inflamed coming out of your body, guiding it out through your mouth through your exhales. Focus on breathing out as much as you can. All right? Okay great let's get started. So first of all we're gonna do some light walking. So this kind of walking is a little bit unique. You want to bring your feet shoulder-width apart and you want to lean your body slightly forward so that the weight of your body is on the ball of your foot. So instead of leaning back so I'll show you from the side instead of leaning back a lot of people walk like this especially when you're older but you see how the weight is on the back of my foot on my heel. You want to lean a little bit forward so it's on the front part not so much your toes. If you go to your toes it's too far. A little bit so your weight is on the ball of your foot and from there walk like you're touching the floor with the ball of your foot. It's actually truly between the ball of your foot and the arch. There's a point right here called the Yongchun which means fountain of courage. It's an acupressure point to receive energy from the earth so let's walk here for 30 seconds. It's kind of crazy to think about how beneficial walking is for your health. It seems so simple it seems like something we take for granted but walking is a very excellent exercise to help with inflammation.
