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

5. Holding your arms away from your body, shake your hands to release the stagnant chi you’ve
liberated from your thymus gland.
True Mind Treasure
True Mind Treasure brings new awareness to your true mind and the emotions held there as it opens
and activates the major energy pathways related to digestion and elimination, improving the overall
function of those physical systems.
1. Rub your hands together vigorously to charge them.
2. Assume the Tiger Claws Open position with your hands. Use these open claws to tap on your
belly, alternating hands, starting at your solar plexus (the tender spot just beneath your breast
bone in your upper belly) and then moving to your left in a clockwise motion underneath your
breasts and down the side of the belly until you reach just above your pubic bone, and then
working up the right side of the belly, continuing back up to the solar plexus, breathing deeply as
you make this circuit.
3. After a few complete passes, start to increase the perimeter of the circle. As you move down,

them. Rather than trying to “stem the tide,” let the waves roll in, and breathe those lovely
sensations right up into your brain, which in turn, will make your stomach feel even better. As
you circle your stomach, make sure you keep breathing deeply and smoothly.
4. Take five passes, and when you’re done, shake out your hands to release the stagnant chi you’ve
liberated.

pace, taking turns rather rapidly, alternating right and left hand. Use all your fingertips (but not
your thumbs) to bring new energy to the stomach.
2. Breathe deeply and sense what you are feeling as you tap this area. Don’t be surprised if you start
to feel a kind of mild giddiness or anxiety, a feeling akin to riding a roller coaster on the
downswing. The solar plexus is the seat of our emotions, and you may be tuning into feelings
you’ve long been avoiding, as though you were revisiting the very events that may have initiated
their pilgrimage here in the first place.
3. Continue tapping the upper section of your Middle Elixir Field for five breath cycles. As you
inhale, silently think, “I am bringing new life-giving chi and love into my true mind.” As you
