KI FLOW yoga for digestion & purification

My first attempt at uploading a video to my new You Tube channel KI FLOW yoga
I need to play around a bit and get fimilar with the gadgets but anyhow here it the first attempt! 




In this KI FLOW sequence downward facing dog is used as an anchor shape, allowing movement and flow through the meridians and the body to stem directly from that shape.
The yang purification exhalation allows space to created, the breath leads the body.
Stretching out the stomach meridians and points in the feet helps digestion along side the inversion geometry in the body, making space for the internal organs.
The (Earth Element) grounding aspects of this sequence is absolute (although not standing) there is a connection in all the flow through to the feet, they are indeed an anchor point, flexing at times to connect with the yang back of the body and the bladder meridian, and tonification through the stomach points in the feet (ST 41, 42, 43, 44 & 45) command points for the Fire, Wood, Water, and Metal Elements, and also (ST42) the actual Source Point for the Stomach meridian itself.
Will assist an array of digestive issues, restlessness, facial, jaw & teeth issues and softening in the parasympathetic nervous system.
The Sequence finishes standing with prayer connection to Tanden in the belly centre point.

Bliss & OM


Have you ever really listened to your OM?
A-U-M, the resounding resonance can be so blissful, clearing and energising, which makes a lot of sense given the OM represents the primary sound of the universe, its a big ask!
I got to thinking about how in TCM the triple warmer energy in our bodies (San Jiao) and the three 'burning spaces' relates to the OM I produce whist mediating.

As we begin the sound of the 'A' we are directing the breath and the sound, the beginning of creation to the lower heater of the body, from the lock through the base chakra it reaches deep into the body, into the small intestines, large intestines, Bladder and Kidney's.

As we move into the 'U' the sound rises up into the middle heater circulating the life force and resonance of sound in to the earth of our being, the stomach, the spleen and our liver.

Then finally as we produce the sound of 'M' it represents the destruction of creation and the beginning of the new cycle, we send that life force, breath and sound into the lungs and heart and into the spaces and cavities of the head and to our crown chakra and beyond.

OM, the purest of sounds, that creates such peace, and reminds us that peace is not outside of us but part of who we are.

OM Shanti Shanti
