Title: Starting to Realise Self
Purpose
- Part of the "Eliminate Brain Fatigue Series"
- Focuses on neurological restoration and mental clarity, to balance "thinking and intuition for tomorrow"
- Stimulates both hemispheres simultaneously, correcting their coordination of the body
- Strengthens the entire central nervous system
- Stimulates the glandular system and alters the body’s blood chemistry
- Builds physical strength in the hips, spine, and legs
- Nurtures and maintains the "initial basic self".
Part 1: Infinity arm circles (9 Minutes)
- Posture: Sit with a straight spine.
- Arm Position: Palms of hands are facing each other, right hand lifts up and round, and left hand moves down and round. Both hands return to face each other, then continue the movement
- Movement: Create a fast "magnetic circle" by alternating your hands; as one hand moves up, the other moves down in an "Infinity" motion.
- Duration: Continue this for 9 minutes.
- Purpose: This corrects the brain hemispheres, stimulates the glandular system, and places the neurons of the medulla in a "powerful place". YB: "the medulla is responsible for a lot of good stuff".
Part 2: Right Side Hold (3 Minutes)
- Posture: Sit straight.
- Arm Position: Extend your hands up to the right side at a 60 degree angle.

- Breath: Breathe long and deep.
- Duration: Continue for 3 minutes.
- Purpose: This focuses on the right hemisphere of the brain, which relates to thinking and intuition for the future

Part 3: Left Side Hold (3 Minutes)
- Position: Change the hand position up to the left side and stretch to a 60 degree angle.
- Breath: Continue breathing long and deep.
- Duration: Continue for 3 minutes.

Continue straight onto Part 4 - no rest
Part 4: Spinal Stretch
- Hand Position: Place both hands over the head palms facing down and lock the fingers.
- Movement: Inhale deeply, hold the breath tight, and stretch the spine upward.
- Exhale: Breathe out with "cannon breath".
- Repetition: Repeat the deep inhale, hold, and stretch twice.
Part 5: Bear grip - pulling fingers apart
- Hand Position: Hook the fingers together.
- Movement: Use maximum force as if you are trying to "break your fingers and tear them apart from your body".
- Breath: Inhale deep and hold while pulling with full force.
- Exhale: Breathe out.
- Repetition: Repeat the inhale/pull/exhale cycle 3x times, pulling even harder
- Purpose: Benefits everything above the navel, including the eyes, ears, lungs, and heartbeat.
Part 6a: Feet/Leg Entanglement
- Position: Stretch your feet straight out.
- Lock: Entangle your feet by putting one over the other.
- Movement: While keeping the feet locked together, try to separate them using the force of your legs.
- Breath: Inhale deep and hold while trying to "tear them apart" for a count of 10
- Repetition 1: Relax and change which foot is on top for a count of 10.
- Repetition 2: Repeat the entanglement on one side, then the other, each side for a count of 10
There are a total of 4 entanglements alternating between the two sides.
- Purpose: Strengthens the hips, base of the spine, legs, and sciatica.
Part 6b: Combined Stretch - Feet/leg entanglement + Bear Grip
- Position: Combine the Bear grip (Part 5) with the leg entanglement pull (Part 6a).
- Breath/Hold: Inhale deep and pull both locks simultaneously for a count of 10 before exhaling.
- Breath/Hold: Swap legs, Inhale deep and pull both locks simultaneously for a count of 16 before exhaling.
