Shaking the bones

How do you deal with stress? What do you daily, to get rid of any negative impact that we all get knowing or not knowing it? 

Keeping your home fresh by allowing fresh air to circulate, sun light enter and a Himalayan Salt Lamp to clean the air and allow negative ions to do their cleansing is a common method to keep your home a peaceful, relaxed space. But how do you deal with the stress in your body? One of the daily activity is to have a cleansing shower and remove the impurities that we are exposed all day. However, we all carry tremendous amount of stress in our body. We all carry it in different part of our bodies. Some have clenched jaws, tight butts, shortened hamstrings, painful shoulders, tension in their necks, have frequent migraines and pain behind the eyes. But how do you deal with these issues and get rid of them every day so they don't accumulate and become chronic pain, is the key here. 

Unfortunately, we are so not in touch with simple, ancient methods of getting rid of tensions but instead popping pills, get surgery or just put up with tension, stress and pain as normal part of life that it is ruining people's lives. 

“Shaking the bones” is an ancient Chinese exercise. Watch video demonstration with Dr Chiasson.

It could not be more simple and can be done anywhere. Once you see it done, you probably recall seeing it as part of American Indians, Africans, Aboriginals or other 'primal' tribes' rituals and dances. It even appears in one of my favourite romantic movie starring Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds, The Proposal. Bouncing, shaking and chanting, all leads back to the same roots. 

You just stand in place and bounce up and down at the knees while shaking your whole body like a rag doll.

Let go of the stresses of the day by shaking them out. Release tensions and revive yourself. Shaking seems simple (and is) but is actually a powerful, effective Qigong technique. It relaxes and warms all of the muscles, organs, joints and fascia of the body and even the multitudes of cells of your body. Whole-body shaking is an excellent way to exercise and detoxify every cell of the body. Besides being an effective warm-up, Shaking the Body can make bone marrow strong, strengthen the spine, and support the kidneys and adrenal glands. In fact, every organ and tube in the body is enhanced by Shaking the Body. Lymph flow is enhanced so that more gunk is cleared out and your immune function improved. Blood flow increases and hormonal secretions will benefit your skin. Bouncing up and down like this also adjusts the magnetic field, organising and balancing it. Shaking can strengthen cells through the quick, extra force each shake places on the cells. It adds a sudden dollop of extra-gravitational force, creating a need for all of the cells to buck up. It can help sagging tissues regain or hold their tonicity.

It is highly recommended that you do it daily for at least for 5 minutes. It helps move the physical and mental energy through your body and get it where it needs to be. Put on your favourite music and shake those bones and enjoy!
