Waking Energy 7 Timeless Practices Designed to Reboot Your Body and Unleash Your Potential

6. Anchoring yourself by using your left hand to grab the fingers of the right, pull your spine more
strongly back in opposition to your knees so that your arms are straight. Keep your eyes open and
look straight ahead.
7. As you exhale, simultaneously actively draw your abdominal muscles in toward your spine and
round your mouth into an O shape while you make the healing sound “Choooo.” This deep C
shape in your body conducts the vibration of the healing sound to the kidneys and lends itself to
an internal compression that expels excess heat and toxins from the fascia surrounding them.
8. As you are creating the Choooo sound, picture yourself sending all your fear down into the earth
below, where it will be transformed and recycled. As with the other healing sounds, perform the
first round of the sound audibly, and then with each subsequent repetition refine the sound until it
is subvocal and exclusively internal. Your ability to subvocalize speaks to your growing ability
to master the details of your practice.
9. As you inhale again, release your hold on your knees and circle your arms to either side up
around your body, moving them slowly until they are overhead and turning the palms face up
toward the ceiling. Throughout the movement visualize yourself collecting the azure light that
surrounds your body and supercharging it with heaven chi. As your arms continue moving slowly,
pass them down to the front of your body. Simultaneously, see blue light pouring in through your
crown and traveling down into your Sea of Chi, where it infuses your kidneys with its healing
properties.
10. Allow your hands to come to rest in front of your heart. Gather earth energy through your hands
for a breath, then bring your palms down to rest on your knees. Open your legs to wider than hipwidth
apart and ensure that your feet are firmly planted on the floor. Direct all the earth and
heaven energy you’ve collected into your Lower Elixir Field to replenish the kidneys.
11. Now practice your Inner Smile: rock your body from side to side and, as you do, look left to
right, into one kidney and then the other, and smile at them. Visualize a deep blue light
surrounding both of your kidneys and emanating from them. See this healing light grow to
surround your entire body in an ocean of blue love.
12. Once again, as you continue to rock your body ever so gently from left to right, return your hands
to your kidneys. With every breath you take, breathe in soothing gentle blue stillness and calm
into your kidneys and exhale excess heat and fear. Hear the sound of ocean waves or a gurgling
brook reverberating inside you, expelling excess heat and toxins from the kidneys. Invite the
cooling, blue energy of water to bathe the kidneys, restoring them to the sweet, clean warmth of
radiant health. Allow the new, warming energy to nurture and relax the muscles of your lower
back. Smile at your kidneys, letting them know that it is safe to release, to heal, and to be
restored.
13. Release any last residue of fear you may feel. Let go. Even though you’re no longer actively
making the Choooo sound now, invite the healing sound to continue to do its good work,
vibrating and ushering in perfect quietude and healing stillness. Remind yourself to take this
gentle quality, this stillness and calm, into your life, extending the practice and its benefits into
your every moment, knowing that the next time you are overcome by fear, you can breathe it out
and access the cool, soothing blue energy of the water to guide you home again.
14. Repeat the above sequence three to six times. In moments of fear and emotional duress or
whenever you feel fatigued or depleted or have ringing in your ears, dizziness, or lower-back
