This section addresses the following questions:

  • Is there a reason that this exercise addresses mainly the wrists and the elbows? I would love to experiment with my shoulder joints (as I have had a frozen shoulder for years now).
  • I’m presuming we can do this for any joint, and how often? As needed, or is it good to do this regularly? 
  • I want to do this with my hamstrings and sit bones because I have pain there, but I can’t reach those parts. Can I just visualize my hands in those spots?
  • How do you focus or bring energy to places where there are no joints?

We work mainly with the wrists and elbows in this recording because they are very easy to touch, but this exercise can definitely be applied to any joint in the body. Even if it’s one you can’t touch, you can still place your attention there and do the same thing with bringing in the idea of space using the breath.

Also, you don’t have to do this just with the joints! You can explore this idea with any area of the body. In terms of frequency, I would say as often as it feels useful.
