There are two kinds of chi - inherited and collected. Our kidneys house our storage of inherited energy which is what we want to conserve for a longer life! Together, the kidneys and adrenals are like a power plant - the adrenals are the spark and the kidneys are the energy storage. To bring balance to our energy, use it wisely and not tap into the storage tank we need for a long life, we need to manage our energy. Think energy conservation! We focus on the kidney/adrenal area (lower R/L back above the pelvic line) and the inner leg into the abdomen (kidney meridians) to help bring more awareness and health overall.
Props: 1-2 blankets or beach towels.
