There are pathways on the body that are associated with moving Energy. Each has an organ connected with it and anywhere from 1 to 3 pathways connected. For example, the heart meridian has 3 branches – one goes to the small intestine, one to the tongue and one to the pinkie finger. (Side note, stuttering and the inability to “find the right words” are associated with an imbalance of the heart meridian.)

Many people have at least heard of them. What is not popularly known are the 8 Extras or 8 Extraordinary Meridians. They have odd sounding names like the “Dai Mo” or the “Yang QiaoVessell.” They are shrouded in mystery to a good extent.

On one level, they are considered the overflow place; that is when the main meridians are filled to the maximum with energy, the excess is stored in the 8 extras. Additionally, they guard the body against disease and are considered part of the protective energy.

But on a much deeper level, this is where unique skills, latent talents, and emotional healing occur.

In this case, there is one simple exercise that when done on a regular basis, can provide dramatic results for improvement in Creativity and clarity.

If you find the base of the skull, directly in the center, where the (posterior) hairline would be and consider this Point A. Now, find the point about the size of a quarter in the center of the forehead between the 2 eyebrows. Consider this Point B.

Starting at Point A, imagine a thin flexible tube going from Point A to Point B, from the back of the hairline to the forehead. Using your imagination, intention and your breath, move the energy from Point A to Point B. As you do so, say to yourself, “Creativity.”

Now, from Point B (forehead), send the energy back over to Point A saying “Clarity.”

If possible, it is best to say the words in a soft tone, out loud. It is as if you are whispering to a person next to you.

From Point A to B and back to A is considered one loop. Do this 9 times. Over the course of as little as 2 days, you will notice a significant difference. Do this for 30 days and the change will be dramatic.

Essentially what you are doing is directly the energy via breath and intention to the areas that stimulate creativity and clearness of thought. It would be akin to watering a plant.

The method is simple but in the simplicity exists incredible results. I have used this many, many times to write speeches, articles and to pass examinations. I have taught this to musicians who soon found “just the right note” and writers who cleared writer’s block.

It only takes a few minutes at most. Practice and commit to it. Then let me know what results YOU produce!
