body awareness. It should take about a half second each way for this imaginary brush stroke. Close your eyes and reproduce this action for about a minute. You may feel tingling energy sensations or a peculiar throbbing or heaviness in your thumb. 6. Sponging action: (Similar to the above, scratch or rub as necessary.) Imagine your right thumb is a hollow pipe and that you are cleaning the inside of it with a sponge. Imagine the sponge going through your whole thumb from tip to joint and then back again, over and over. Close your eyes and feel this action with your body awareness. Like the imaginary brushstroke, the sponging sensation should last roughly a half second in each direction. You may feel some peculiar energy movement sensations in your thumb. Congratulations! You’ve just successfully stimulated part of your energy body. Practice for as long as you like; you can’t overdo this. These body awareness actions are key to all the energy work that is to follow. Daily Tips Robert: After a while—anything from a few seconds to a few minutes during a first attempt—you may start feeling some peculiar sensations inside your thumb joint: a localized heaviness, pressure, tingling, buzzing, or even a bone-deep tickling sensation. This may extend into more of your thumb and hand. This sensation indicates that the energy center in your thumb joint has been successfully stimulated to a higher level of activity. Most people are more energy sensitive on one side of their bodies than the other, so you may find one hand produces more energy sensations than the other. Brian: If you have trouble with the stirring or brushing actions after several minutes, try this: Open your eyes and point your left index finger to your right thumb joint. Your index finger should be about an inch or so above but not touching your thumb joint. Use your index finger to stir or brush the area above the joint. This does wonders for jump-starting energy movement sensations. Once you get the feel for this, try again using body awareness actions alone. Your Program Notes/Observations
