Excess energy can be created in your body by upcoming events, important things that are happening in your life or through thoughts that go round and round in our minds. The energy created by this stress flows through our bodies and adds to anxiety, nervousness and tension, which can also create depression and pain in the body.

Why not open up your nervous system, increase blood and energy flow and activate your meridians with separating heaven from earth.

Separating heaven from earth:

• Helps release excess energy.
  
• Oxygenates the cells.
  
• Expels toxic energies.
  
• Stimulates energy through the joints.

A great exercise to do:

• If you feel stuck
• If you feel a cold coming on
• If you feel you've taken on negative energies

How to do separating heaven from earth:

1. Shake off any excess energy in your hands.
2. Bring your arms to your sides, fingers spread.
3. Breathe in, circle arms out, bring them into prayer position, exhale.
   
4. Breathe in, separate one hand from the other, taking one hand up and one hand down as you flatten them.
5. Exhale as you circle your lower arm and bring both hands back to the prayer position.
   
6. Breathe in, separate one hand from the other, switching the hand that goes up and the hand that goes down as you flatten them.
   
7. Exhale as you circle your lower arm and bring both hands back to the prayer position.
   

           Continue alternating hands for a few times.

1. As you come out of this pose, bring your arms down and fold over at the waist. Hang with knees slightly bent and take a few deep breaths in.
   
2. As you slowly come up, roll your energy back up with your hands.
