Knees are Toxin Collectors.

Toxins tend to collect in the lower limbs because of the slowdown of the circulation due to gravity. The most common places are the back parts of the knees. Slapping at these places will break down the toxins. The body will then eliminate the toxins out of the body by urine, bowel movements and sweat.

A.  Bring Chi Energy to the Hands.

Bring energy to the hands; do no contractions.

B.  Behind the Knees

Prop your leg up on a chair or low table so the knee is straight. Then slap smartly behind the knee nine to eighteen times. (Fig. 6.1) Although it hurts, it is extremely beneficial in releasing toxins which accumulate there. This release may be indicated by the appearance of a purple dot. Use discretion as to how hard you slap, since it can be overdone. Repeat this exercise on the other knee.

Knee Cap Massage

Massage the knee cap until it is warm, There is very little blood flowing to it and it tends to be quite vulnerable. This practice strength­ens it. Massage the other knee cap.

Move the Knee Caps.

Relax the knee caps, then move them up and down to the left and right and around both clockwise and counterclockwise. (Fig. 6.2)

Massage the Knees.

Falling down is often caused by weak knees. Massaging the knees will improve your stability and flexibility.

Feet: Roots of the Body

Strong feet and tendons increase your stability by connecting you to the healing energy of the earth. Feet are the reflexes of the whole body’s organs, glands and limbs. (Fig. 6.3) They are like remote controls. Massaging will help to stimulate the organs and glands and increase the circulation.

Massage the Feet.

Take off your shoes and stockings and massage the tops and bot­toms of each foot with your thumbs and fingers. Be sure to mas­sage the kidney point, the sore spot in the center between the ball of each foot and the adjoining pad. (Fig. 6.4) If you are in a hurry, massage the whole of each foot once by rubbing the sole of the foot vigorously and carefully across the top of the other foot, going from the heel to the arch to the toes. The soles of the feet have energy meridians to the entire body. Massage the feet, and when you find painful points massage them until the pain goes away. This will help to clear any blockage of Chi channel flow.

Spread out the Toes.

Spread out and separate all the toes, especially the little toes, and then release. Repeat six to nine times. This is especially good for the tendons of the feet. (Fig. 6.5)
