Cleansing With Light Shower (use when taking a normal shower)

Exercise Two
Cleansing With Light Shower (use when taking a normal shower)

We need to clean our inner body as frequently as we clean our outer body! Inner cleansing is for both prevention and healing. Our Qigong self-healing classes focus on improving our health by providing the cleansing tools for each of us. Here is the Light Shower Method which you can use when you are in a water shower:

1) Adjust the water to a comfortable temperature and step under it. Take a deep breath and relax.
2) Empty your mind, close your eyes and let the water run down over you. Feel the water.
3) Try sensing your body at the cell level. Sense your whole body as a collection of cells with empty spaces between and inside each cell.
4) Imagine the water is penetrating your surface, rinsing all your cells.
5) Keep imagining the water running over both the inside and outside of your body.
6) Imagine streams of bright light washing over and through you with the water.
7) Imagine the light streams becoming brighter and brighter.
8) The bright light makes your body’s physical structure become less and less clear to you. Your body feels empty. There is little or no difference between your inside and outside. All you feel is the water and light coming down, rinsing off all the dirt.
9) Keep showering in the above state until you are done.
10) Take a deep breath and focus on your belly button for ten seconds.

Even if this exercise does not make sense to you, try it anyway without analyzing it. The less your mind gets in the way, the more effective this exercise will be and the more health benefit you will receive.
