Body Tapping Improves Holiday Stress and Family Relationships

With holidays around every corner, it is sometimes an ongoing source of stress to deal with family relationships that are difficult and/or strained. Each family has their own stresses, whether they include family members that are: comedians, projectors or even inconsiderate on some level. There is not a ’perfect family’, and it seems that we must consistently work to improve upon each relationships as time goes by. A technique of ‘Water Up Fire Down’ body tapping is said to assist with improving these family relationships.

Sometimes there happens to be those special family members that support us fully and provide us with love and happiness. Although, it is often the case that there are just as many family members that can tear us down physically and emotionally. These are the relationships that need mending, although, it is of no consequence to continue to improve upon all family relationships.

One way in which to improve our family relationships is to consider the technique of ‘Water Up Fire Down’ energy circulation. By circulating your internal energy with ‘Water Up Fire Down’, you are able to put your body into an energy state like that of when the mind, body and spirit are completely healthy. This techniques centers healthy and natural energy, allowing you to relate to your family members in a more open, compassionate and honest way.

The technique of ‘Water Up Fire Down’ creates an internal happiness within your energy center, allowing you also to be more forgiving and understanding of those around you. Your overall demeanor is calmed; projecting and feeling less stress. How does this actually happen? How can it be so simple?

Our energy center can actually affect our emotions, feelings and thoughts. With that being said, energy within our body then affects our physical, mental and emotional health. These overall aspects of heath determine how our body reacts to every day occurrences. Factors that determine our energy center state include, but are not limited to, exercise and positive thoughts.

A simple exercise that creates this naturally healthy feeling energy center is ‘Water Up Fire Down’ body tapping. In rhythmically tapping yourself using a fist, or cupped hand, you remove energy blockages with your body.

Of all the places one can use body tapping to remove energy blockages, the main focus should be on that of the lower abdomen. Approximately two inches below your navel lies a point known in Korean medicine as the ‘dahnjon’. This is a core within the body that is the center of all energy. By pushing the fire energy from your head to that lower abdomen area, you are in a sense, dousing the gathered energy, and allowing it to free-flow throughout the body.

When tapping, use the pinky-end of your fist, and tap this area up to one hundred times per sitting. After you have practiced the technique of ’Water Up Fire Down’ body tapping, you can incrementally move yourself up to 1000 taps a day. Each time you practice the technique, energy will begin to circulate, pushing weighing emotions and thoughts away from your core.

To make body tapping even more fun, listen to some inspiring or moving music. Keep your knees slightly bend, and your shoulders loose. The best results for body tapping occur when one is standing upright.

Although your family members may not all practice ‘Water Up Fire Down’ body tapping, it does not mean that the practice you do will not effect more than just you. Your interactions with other family members is one half of the family relationship. If even one half of a family relationship can be improved, who is to say that eventually, the other half may not be effected over time, also.
