Expressing yourself with your arms and hands is natural. You do it all the time. It is a way you express emotion, excitement and sadness. It is even a way you express pain and pleasure. When you are hurt, your hands reach for the hurt part. When your are sad or touched your hands reach to your heart. When you see someone in need of comfort, you reach to soothe them. When you are excited you reach out! Hands communicate through emotion, movement and gesture. Hand and arm movements can release emotions, they communicate non-verbally, and they deliver amazing fitness and wellness. Using the hands and arms efficiently and correctly are key to self-healing and proper functioning. Their movement gives voice to the silent world inside you. Every gesture expresses a part of you. Like an echo, your arms and hands mirror the voice of your heart. They heal, create, build, make love, move and direct energy. They are miraculous tools.
In this call you will learn about:
- The hands energy portals that move chi in and out of the body.
- The proprioceptors in your hands, a part of you that is highly sensitive to physical sensation.
- Nia’s hand motions for conditioning and for self-healing.
- The three arts, and how each art offers unique hand and arm motions for conditioning.
- Using your fingers like wands, as magical tools to direct and move energy along particular channels called meridians, making it possible to consciously direct energy through each finger.
- The bones of the shoulder girdle, and how to support the movement of your arms and hands using the clavicles, sternum, and scapula.
The rhomboid muscles are located between your shoulder blades, muscles that help draw the base of the shoulder blades in toward the midline of your body, and how to activate and release these muscles to avoid restricted hand and arm movement.
