The following are sample energy exercises one can perform on oneself, excerpted from Donna Eden’s ‘Energy Medicine.’

Three Thumps

Tap or Massage these three points for fifteen to twenty seconds each. Breathe deeply as you tap – in through your nose and out through your mouth

• K-27: Tapping these points will energize you if you’re feeling sluggish. It will also help you focus. If your energies are flowing backwards, tapping will “flip” your energies to flow in the proper direction. Ex: Use this when tired driving. (2 small indents 1” down from the throat notch and 1” outward)
• Thymus: Tapping the thymus wakes it up so that it can help you fight off negative energies and boost your vitality. Ex: Use this when under intense emotional distress. (2” below K-27, at center of sternum)
• Spleen: The spleen is central to the functioning of the immune system. (Tap both sides – 2 points – under both breasts, then one rib away toward sides
