Here's a CHEEKY LITTLE THUMP!

• Tap or massage firmly on your cheekbones for 15–20 seconds.

• Breathe deeply.

• While you thump - smile!

• Even better ..... do outside in Nature

• The Ultimate! - do BAREFOOT in Nature

Why do it?

• Wakes up your energy

• Calms worry & overthinking

• Supports digestion

• Grounds scattered energy

• Brightens mood

When's the best time to do it?

• Morning wake-up to start the day

• Before meals

• Feeling anxious or ungrounded

• Afternoon energy slump - pair with St36 points on the legs

Tapping here helps release stagnant energy, stimulates lymphatic flow, and encourages vitality to flow through the body. Because the Stomach Meridian is associated with grounding and nourishment, this thump can shift you out of worry, fatigue, or overwhelm and into a state of calm focus.

This Cheeky Thump helps you feel more alert, especially if you’re tired, it supports mental clarity and focus. As the stomach meridian is linked to overthinking; thumping can help calm the “chattering mind.”. Of course it will help physical digestion and also your ability to digest life's challenges (with it's partner Spleen). Tapping in this way encourages the body to release tension held in the face and around the eyes and calms the stress response and signals safety to the nervous system.

I invite you to do a cheeky tap or two every day: when you get up and whenever you are out in Nature .... and if you can - take your shoes off to connect with that wonderful Yin energy of the Earth.

If you pop over to my Instagram madisonking281 - there's a video of me doing it while out walking Melvin and Merlin.
