13. Take Down the Flame



Course: Calm Down! 35 Simple Ways to Reduce Stress and Reclaim Inner Peace

Goal: Energize Yourself

Timing:1 times per Day

Description:

Stand with your open hands on your thighs with your fingers spread. Feel the energy travel down your legs, and imagine your feet connecting to the earth. Inhaling deeply, circle your arms widely over your head until the fingertips and thumbs of each hand meet, making a pyramid. (Keep your hands in this pyramid position throughout the exercise.) Exhaling, bring your fingers down to your crown chakra at the top of your head. Inhale.

Exhaling, bring your thumbs to your third eye, the point between your eyebrows. Inhale. Exhaling, bring your thumbs down to the point between your breasts, known as the Sea of Tranquility. Inhale. Exhaling, bring your thumbs down to your navel, and flatten your hands so they are resting in a pyramid shape beneath your navel. Inhale. Exhaling, bring your flattened palms back to the starting position on your thighs. Inhale. Exhaling, smooth your open hands down your legs and bend over, hanging your hands down by your sides. Inhale. Keep bending over as you exhale. Inhale and return to standing. Exhale as you are standing.

I tried this exercise, but I don't think I could do it properly. Instead of reducing my stress, I got more stressed. Was feeling weird.
