  11. Energy Techniques





  • Tap K-27 Points (acupuncture point that affects all the meridians located at the 2 soft spots just below the collarbone) This tapping activates a sequence of responses sending electrochemical impulses to your brain and releasing neurotransmitters that will energize you when you are feeling tired and will focus you if you are having trouble concentrating.

  • Cross Crawl - march lifting knees and crossing arm over to opposite knee for 30 sec to 1 min. This movement helps the crossover of energy between the left and right hemispheres of the brain to help you feel more energized, think more clearly and be better coordinated.

Here are some habits and simple solutions that are good for general health and will boost your immunity:
