🧘 SECTION 2: Advanced Meditation Techniques for Pain Transformation
Understanding Pain from Consciousness Perspective
Neuroscience of Pain:
- Pain is constructed in the brain (not just at injury site)
- Emotional state modulates pain intensity by up to 60%
- Attention amplifies or diminishes pain sensation
Meditation's Mechanisms:
- Reduces Default Mode Network activity → Less rumination
- Increases Anterior Cingulate Cortex thickness → Better pain regulation
- Activates endogenous opioid system → Natural pain relief
- Decreases amygdala reactivity → Less emotional suffering
Technique 1: Vipassana Pain Transformation
Foundation: Insight meditation from Theravada Buddhist tradition
Scientific Support:
- Reduces pain unpleasantness by 57% (Journal of Neuroscience, 2011)
- Effective after just 4 days of 20-min practice
Progressive Training Protocol (8 Weeks)
Weeks 1-2: Establishing Anapana (Breath Awareness)
Daily Practice (20 min):
-
Posture Setup:
- Sit comfortably (chair okay)
- Spine naturally erect
- Hands resting on knees or lap
-
Technique:
- Focus attention on natural breath at nostrils
- Notice: Cool sensation on inhale, warm on exhale
- When mind wanders, gently return to breath
- No control: Just observation
-
Counting Method (if needed):
- Inhale (count 1), Exhale (count 2)
- Up to 10, then restart
- Anchor: Maintains concentration
Progress Indicator: Can stay with breath for 5+ consecutive breaths
Weeks 3-4: Body Scanning
Daily Practice (30 min):
-
Systematic Scanning:
- Start at crown of head
- Move slowly down body
- Part by part: scalp, forehead, eyes, jaw, neck...
- End at toes
-
Instruction:
- Notice ANY sensation: tingling, warmth, pressure, pain
- Don't judge as good/bad
- Don't try to change sensation
- Simply observe: "This is how it is right now"
-
When Encountering Pain:
- STOP → Don't avoid, don't push away
- INVESTIGATE: "What exactly is this sensation?"
- Is it sharp or dull?
- Constant or pulsing?
- Surface or deep?
- Hot or cold?
- Notice: Pain has boundaries, intensity fluctuates
- Breathe: Maintain equanimity
Progress Indicator: Can scan entire body in 20 minutes with sustained attention
Weeks 5-6: Equanimity with Intense Sensations
Daily Practice (45 min):
-
Deep Body Scan:
- Scan each body part for 2-3 min
- When finding pain: STAY THERE
- Observe without reaction for 5-10 breaths
-
The Pain Investigation:
Mental Noting Technique:
- "Sensation arising"
- "Intensity increasing"
- "Intensity peaking"
- "Sensation changing"
- "Sensation passing"
Key Insight: ALL sensations are impermanent (anicca)
-
Releasing Aversion:
- Pain + Resistance = Suffering
- Pain + Acceptance = Just sensation
- Practice: "Can I allow this to be here?"
Progress Indicator: Pain intensity subjectively reduces by 20-30% during observation
Weeks 7-8: Subtle Body Sensations
Daily Practice (60 min):
-
Scanning at Deeper Levels:
- Notice vibrations, energy flows
- Perceive sensations inside bones, organs
- Advanced: Whole-body simultaneous awareness
-
Pain Dissolution Experience:
- With sustained attention, pain often:
- Breaks into smaller sensations
- Reveals empty spaces between pulses
- Transforms into neutral energy
- This is the "transformation": Not elimination, but seeing true nature
-
Integration:
- Off the cushion: Apply equanimity to daily pain
- "Just as I observed in meditation, can I observe now?"
Technique 2: Tonglen (Giving & Receiving)

Full Script with Timing
[00:00-03:00] Opening & Connection
[On Camera, Sitting in Sukhasana]
"Namaste, beautiful souls! Welcome to our morning flow. I'm so grateful you're here dedicating this time to yourself.
If you're new, type 'NEW' in the comments so I can give you a warm welcome!
And regulars, let me know where you're joining from today. I love seeing our global community come together.
[Pause to read comments]
Wonderful! I see people from [mention locations]. The sun is rising somewhere, setting somewhere else, and we're all connected through this practice.
Today's focus is pain prevention through mindful movement. We'll be working on:
- Spinal mobility
- Hip opening
- Core stability
- Breath awareness
Quick safety note: This practice is designed for most bodies, but always honor YOUR body. If something doesn't feel right, modify or skip it. Yoga is about listening, not pushing.
Let's set an intention together. Place your hands at your heart center.
[Anjali Mudra]
Silently or in the comments, complete this phrase: 'Today, I practice for...'
[Pause 20 seconds]
Beautiful. Let that intention guide your practice. Let's begin."
[03:00-08:00] Centering & Breathwork
"Come to a comfortable seated position. Sit on a block or blanket if your hips are tight—no judgment, just support.
Close your eyes or soften your gaze downward.
Begin to notice your natural breath. No need to change it yet. Just observe.
[10 seconds of silence]
Now we'll practice Dirga Pranayama—Three-Part Breath. This activates your parasympathetic nervous system, telling your body 'it's safe, we can heal.'
Place one hand on your belly, one on your chest.
Inhale through your nose, filling:
- Belly (feel it rise)
- Rib cage (expanding sideways)
- Upper chest
Exhale in reverse:
- Chest softens
- Ribs draw in
- Belly pulls toward spine
Let's do this together. Inhale with me: belly... ribs... chest... hold...
Exhale: chest... ribs... belly... pause...
[Lead 5 full rounds]
Excellent. Release the hands. Notice—do you feel more grounded? Type 'YES' if you feel a shift.
[Quick glance at comments]
Great! This is the power of breath. You just changed your brain chemistry in 3 minutes. That's real science!"
[08:00-15:00] Gentle Warm-Up (Sukshma Vyayama)
"Let's wake up the body gently. These are called Sukshma Vyayama—subtle exercises. They lubricate your joints and activate energy meridians.
Neck Rolls:
Drop your right ear toward right shoulder. Slowly roll your chin toward your chest... left ear to left shoulder... and back to center.
Reverse direction.
[Do together, 3 each way]
Shoulder Shrugs:
Inhale, lift shoulders to ears. Exhale, drop them down with a 'ha' sound.
[5 times]
Wrist & Ankle Circles:
Extend arms forward, make fists. Circle wrists 10 times each direction.
Point and flex your feet. Rotate ankles.
[Guide through]
Spinal Waves (Seated Cat-Cow):
Hands on knees. Inhale, arch your back, chest forward—Cow.
Exhale, round your spine, chin to chest—Cat.
Move slowly, like seaweed in ocean. Let your breath lead.
[10 rounds]
Beautiful! Comment 'READY' when you're ready to move to hands and knees."
[15:00-25:00] Core Flow Sequence
"Come to hands and knees—tabletop position.
Alignment check:
- Wrists under shoulders
- Knees under hips
- Spine neutral
Cat-Cow with Acupressure Awareness:
As your hands press into the mat, you're activating LI-4 point—Large Intestine 4—in the webbing of your thumb. This point relieves upper body pain.
Your knees on the mat stimulate ST-36—Stomach 36—below your kneecap. This boosts immunity and energy.
So you're not just moving; you're giving yourself acupressure!
Inhale, Cow: belly drops, heart forward, gaze up.
Exhale, Cat: round your spine, gaze at navel.
[Lead 10 slow rounds]
Child's Pose (Balasana):
Sit hips back to heels. Arms extended or by your sides. Rest here for 5 breaths.
If knees are uncomfortable, place a blanket behind your knees or between thighs and calves.
This pose activates your parasympathetic nervous system. You're literally telling your body to rest and digest.
[Hold 30 seconds]
Downward Facing Dog (Adho Mukha Svanasana):
From Child's Pose, come back to hands and knees.
Tuck your toes, lift your hips up and back.
Pedal your feet—bend one knee, then the other. This isn't about straight legs; it's about hamstring release.
Modification: Keep knees deeply bent. It's called 'puppy dog' pose.
Press firmly through your hands. Imagine you're pushing the earth away.
[Hold 5 breaths]
Walk your feet forward to your hands. Hang in a forward fold. Shake your head 'yes' and 'no'—releasing neck tension.
Slowly roll up to standing, one vertebra at a time. Head comes up last."
[25:00-35:00] Standing Sequence
"Mountain Pose (Tadasana):
Feet hip-width apart. Distribute weight evenly across four corners of each foot.
Engage your thighs. Lengthen your spine. Shoulders back and down. Arms by your sides.
This might look simple, but you're:
- Improving posture
- Activating proprioception
- Building foundation for all standing poses
Take 3 deep breaths here.
Standing Forward Fold (Uttanasana):
Inhale, arms sweep up. Exhale, hinge at hips, fold forward.
Knees can bend generously! If tight hamstrings, bend your knees a LOT.
Grab opposite elbows. Gently sway side to side.
This pose:
- Calms nervous system
- Stretches entire back body
- Relieves lower back pain
[Hold 5 breaths]
Halfway Lift:
Inhale, hands to shins, lengthen your spine parallel to floor. Gaze forward.
Exhale, fold again.
Roll up to standing.
Chair Pose (Utkatasana):
Feet together or hip-width. Bend your knees as if sitting in a chair. Arms reach up.
Weight in your heels. Thighs engaged.
This builds:
- Leg strength
- Core stability
- Lower back support
Research shows: Strong legs reduce fall risk by 37% as we age.
[Hold 5 breaths]
Straighten legs. Shake them out.
Warrior II (Virabhadrasana II):
Step your left foot back 3-4 feet. Turn left toes out slightly.
Bend your right knee directly over right ankle (don't let knee go past toes).
Arms extend: right forward, left back. Gaze over front fingers.
Feel powerful. You're a warrior, not of violence, but of inner strength.
[Hold 5 breaths]
Benefits:
- Strengthens legs, hips
- Opens chest, shoulders
- Builds mental focus
Straighten front leg. Reverse your feet and do the other side.
[Repeat for left side]
Step feet together at top of mat."
[35:00-42:00] Cool Down & Floor Stretches
"Come to sit or lie down. We'll cool down with gentle stretches.
Seated Spinal Twist (Ardha Matsyendrasana):
Sit with legs extended. Bend right knee, place right foot outside left thigh.
Left hand to right knee. Right hand behind you.
Inhale, lengthen spine. Exhale, twist to the right.
Gaze over right shoulder.
This twist:
- Massages internal organs
- Improves digestion
- Releases back tension
Research: Spinal twists improve disc hydration.
[Hold 5 breaths each side]
Supine Twist (Supta Matsyendrasana):
Lie on your back. Hug knees to chest.
Drop both knees to the right. Extend arms in T-position.
Gaze left if comfortable for your neck.
This releases:
[Hold 2 minutes each side]
Type in comments: What body part feels most released right now?
[Check comments]
Happy Baby (Ananda Balasana):
Bring knees toward armpits. Hold outside edges of feet (or behind thighs).
Gently rock side to side. You can even smile or laugh—it releases endorphins!
[Hold 1 minute]
Legs Up the Wall (Viparita Karani):
If you have wall space, scoot your hips to the wall and extend legs up.
Otherwise, just extend legs straight up from your back. Support low back with hands if needed.
Benefits:
- Drains lymphatic fluid
- Reduces leg swelling
- Calms nervous system
[Hold 2-3 minutes]"
[42:00-45:00] Shavasana & Closing
"Lower your legs down. Extend your body in Shavasana—Corpse Pose.
Feet fall open naturally. Arms away from body, palms up (receiving energy).
Close your eyes.
This is the most important pose. In stillness, your nervous system integrates the practice. Your body heals.
Scan your body from head to toe. Notice any sensations without judgment.
[30 seconds of silence]
Bring awareness to your breath again. Natural, effortless breath.
[30 seconds of silence]
Recall the intention you set at the beginning. Has it shifted? Hold gratitude for showing up today.
Begin to deepen your breath. Wiggle fingers and toes. Stretch arms overhead.
Bend your knees, roll to your right side. Pause here in fetal position—a moment of rebirth.
When you're ready, press yourself up to a comfortable seat.
Bring hands to heart center.
The light, love, and wisdom in me honors the light, love, and wisdom in you.
Namaste.
[Bow]
Thank you for practicing with me! If this helped you, give it a thumbs up and subscribe so you don't miss future classes.
Drop a comment telling me: What was your favorite part of today's practice?
I'll be going live again [day/time]. Until then, be kind to yourself and others.

[END OF SESSION]
Template 2: Therapeutic Evening Yin Yoga (60 minutes)
Target: Stress relief, pain management, deep relaxation, better sleep
Props: Bolster (or 2-3 pillows), 2 blocks, 2 blankets, eye pillow (optional)
Script Structure
[00:00-05:00] Opening & Philosophy
"Good evening, dear ones. Welcome to our Yin Yoga practice for deep healing.
If you've been carrying pain—physical or emotional—today is about letting it soften.
Yin Yoga is different from active yoga. Instead of muscular engagement, we:
- Hold poses 3-5 minutes
- Target deep connective tissue (fascia)
- Practice stillness and surrender
The science: When you hold a stretch for 90+ seconds, fascia begins to remodel. You're literally changing your body's structure.
The philosophy: Yin represents:
- Feminine energy
- Darkness, coolness
- Introspection, receptivity
In our busy world (yang energy), we need yin to balance.
Tonight, we'll focus on:
- Hip opening (emotional release)
- Spinal twists (detoxification)
- Forward folds (nervous system calming)
Set up your props near you. We won't be moving much, but we want MAXIMUM comfort.
Let's set an evening intention. Tonight, I practice to:
- Release
- Surrender
- Soften
- Heal
Choose one word. Hold it in your heart.
Let's dim the lights, light a candle, and begin."
[05:00-10:00] Constructive Rest Position & Breathing
"Lie on your back. Bend your knees, feet flat on the floor, hip-width apart.
Let your knees rest together (it's actually more relaxing than feet together).
This position:
- Takes pressure off lower back
- Allows full diaphragmatic breathing
- Activates rest-and-digest response
Place one hand on belly, one on heart.
Ujjayi Breath (Victorious Breath):
Inhale through nose. Exhale through nose with slight constriction in throat—like fogging a mirror.
Creates soft ocean sound.
Benefits:
- Calms mind
- Regulates heart rate
- Increases oxygen efficiency
[Lead 10 rounds]
Feel your body getting heavier with each exhale. You're safe. You can let go."
[10:00-16:00] Supported Butterfly (Supta Baddha Konasana)
"Bring soles of feet together, knees falling open.
Place bolster or stacked pillows lengthwise behind you
🌟 COMPREHENSIVE EVIDENCE-BASED YOGA & ACUPRESSURE MASTERY SYLLABUS
Part 1 Continued: Live Session Templates
📺 SECTION 4 (Continued): Live Session Scripting Templates
Template 2: Therapeutic Evening Yin Yoga (60 minutes) (Continued)
[10:00-16:00] Supported Butterfly (Supta Baddha Konasana) (Continued)
"Place bolster or stacked pillows lengthwise behind you, starting at your lower back.
Slowly recline back onto the bolster. Head supported, arms relaxed by your sides.
If your inner thighs feel too intense, place blocks or rolled blankets under each knee for support.
[Demonstrate setup]
Close your eyes. Place hands on belly or by your sides, palms up.
We'll hold this for 5 minutes. Yes, 5 minutes! It will feel long at first, then time dissolves.
What's happening physically:
- Opening adductors (inner thigh muscles)
- Releasing hip flexors
- Stimulating kidney and liver meridians (inner legs)
What's happening energetically:
- Hip opening releases stored emotions
- Sacral chakra (Svadhisthana) activation
- Creativity and emotional fluidity
What's happening mentally:
You might feel:
- Emotional waves (this is normal, breathe through them)
- Boredom or restlessness (practice staying)
- Deep peace (surrender to it)
All responses are welcome. This is your experience.
[90 seconds of silence]
Focus on your breath. With each exhale, let your hips melt a little more toward the earth.
[Play gentle music - optional]
[60 seconds of silence]
If emotions arise—tears, laughter, sighs—let them move through you. Emotion = energy in motion.
[60 seconds of silence]
Begin to deepen your breath. Wiggle your toes. Bring your knees together, pause here.
When ready, roll to your right side. Press yourself up slowly. Move the props aside."
[16:00-22:00] Caterpillar (Seated Forward Fold)
"Extend both legs in front of you. If hamstrings are very tight, sit on a folded blanket (elevates hips) or bend your knees generously.
Inhale, lengthen your spine. Exhale, hinge at hips and fold forward.
This is NOT about touching your toes! This is about sensation in the back body.
Rest your forearms on a bolster placed on your legs, or simply let your upper body drape over your thighs.
Head can hang heavy or rest on stacked fists.
We'll be here for 5 minutes.
Target tissues:
- Hamstrings
- Calves
- Entire back body (erector spinae, latissimus dorsi)
- Bladder meridian (runs along entire back of body)
Traditional Chinese Medicine wisdom:
Bladder meridian relates to fear and letting go. Forward folds help us release what no longer serves us.
Nervous system effect:
Forward folds activate parasympathetic response. Your heart rate is literally slowing down right now.
[30 seconds of silence]
Find your edge—that place of sensation but not pain. About 70% of your maximum stretch.
[Check comments: "Type FOUND if you've found your edge."]
[60 seconds of silence]
Breath is your anchor. When your mind wanders (it will), return to breath.
Inhale: feeling stretch. Exhale: softening into it.
[90 seconds of silence]
You might notice the stretch changing, deepening. This is fascia releasing. Don't force it. Allow it.
[60 seconds of silence]
Begin to deepen breath. Slowly walk your hands back, lift your torso.
Straighten your legs if they were bent. Shake them out gently. Bounce them on the mat.
Type in comments: How do your legs feel now compared to before?
[Quick check of comments]
Notice that awareness—that body intelligence. You're tuning in."
[22:00-28:00] Dragon Pose (Low Lunge)
"Come to hands and knees. Step your right foot forward between your hands.
Walk your foot slightly to the right (not center) for hip stability.
You can stay on your hands (taller version), come to forearms (deeper), or place a bolster under your chest if you want to fully relax.
Let your left knee slide back as far as comfortable. You should feel a stretch in the left hip flexor and front of left thigh.
Pad your back knee with a blanket if needed.
Toes: Back toes can point or curl under—whatever feels right.
We'll hold 4 minutes on each side.
Physical targets:
- Psoas muscle (major hip flexor)
- Quadriceps
- Hip capsule
Why this matters:
Modern life = sitting. Sitting = chronically shortened hip flexors. Short hip flexors = lower back pain and poor posture.
This pose reverses that pattern.
Emotional/energetic:
Psoas is called the 'muscle of the soul.' It stores fight-or-flight tension. As it releases, you might feel:
- Anxiety surfacing (breathe through it)
- Relief, even euphoria
- Trembling or shaking (your nervous system releasing)
All normal. You're safe. Breathe.
[60 seconds of silence]
Adjust as needed. Yin yoga is NOT about stillness through gritted teeth. Be kind to yourself.
[60 seconds of silence]
Visualize breathing into your left hip flexor. Imagine golden healing light softening, releasing.
[60 seconds of silence]
Final minute. Stay present. This is where the deepest release happens.
[40 seconds of silence]
Slowly press back to hands and knees. Step your right foot back.
Take Child's Pose for 3 breaths (counterpose).
Now let's do the left side. Step your left foot forward..."
[Repeat entire sequence for other side]
[28:00-34:00] Sleeping Swan (Supported Pigeon)
"From hands and knees, bring your right knee forward and place it behind your right wrist.
Your right foot comes toward your left hip. (Shin can be parallel to front of mat or angled—whatever your hip allows.)
Setup is crucial:
If your right hip doesn't reach the floor, place a block, bolster, or folded blanket under your right buttock. This prevents knee torque.
Extend your left leg back. Square your hips toward the front.
You can stay upright (hands on blocks in front) or fold forward, resting on forearms or fully on a bolster.
We'll hold 5 minutes each side.
What this targets:
- Piriformis muscle (deep in buttock)
- Gluteus medius/minimus
- Deep hip rotators
- Gallbladder meridian (side of hip)
Why it matters for pain:
Tight piriformis = sciatic nerve compression = radiating leg pain.
78% of people with sciatica improve with regular pigeon pose practice.
What you might feel:
- Intense sensation in right buttock (that's piriformis stretching)
- Feeling in right IT band (outer thigh)
- Nothing much (maybe your hips are already open)
Honor YOUR experience. No competition here.
[45 seconds of silence]
As you settle in, imagine your right hip joint: the ball (femur head) nestling into the socket (acetabulum).
With each exhale, visualize space being created in that joint.
[90 seconds of silence]
Emotions might arise. Hips are storage houses for:
- Trauma
- Unprocessed grief
- Sexual shame or tension
- Family patterns
If tears come, let them flow. You're literally wringing out old energy.
[90 seconds of silence]
Final minute. Breathe. Stay. Trust the process.
[40 seconds of silence]
Slowly press up. Move with care—hip joint is vulnerable after deep opening.
Slide your right leg back. Shake it out. Take Child's Pose for 5 breaths.
Now the left side..."
[Repeat for left side]
[34:00-40:00] Twisted Roots (Supine Twist)
"Lie on your back. Hug both knees to chest. Rock gently side to side (massage for spine).
Extend your arms out in a T-position, palms down.
Keep both knees together, drop them to your right side.
Adjustments:
- If knees don't reach floor, place bolster under them
- If right shoulder lifts, that's okay—or place weight/book on it to ground it
Turn your head to the left (opposite of knees) if comfortable for your neck. Otherwise, keep it neutral.
We'll hold 4 minutes each side.
Physical benefits:
- Spinal rotation (maintains disc health)
- Releases intercostal muscles (between ribs)
- Massages abdominal organs (especially liver on right twist)
Energetic benefits:
- Detoxification (twisting wrings out organs like a sponge)
- Digestive stimulation
- Solar Plexus chakra (Manipura) activation
Breath focus:
Inhale: feel ribcage expand
Exhale: allow knees to drop slightly heavier
[60 seconds of silence]
This pose is also called 'windshield wipers' or 'supine twist.' It's incredibly therapeutic for:
- Lower back pain
- Sciatica
- Digestive issues
- Stress relief
[90 seconds of silence]
If your mind starts planning tomorrow or reviewing today, gently come back to sensation. Where do you feel this twist in your body right now?
[60 seconds of silence]
Begin to deepen breath. Bring knees back to center. Pause.
Extend arms in T again. Drop knees to the left side, head turns right..."
[Repeat for left side]
[40:00-50:00] Supported Child's Pose (Balasana)
"Come to hands and knees. Bring your big toes together, knees wide apart (wide enough for your belly to rest between thighs).
Place a bolster lengthwise between your knees. As you sink hips back, your entire torso will rest on the bolster.
Turn your head to one side. Arms can extend forward or rest back by your feet.
Props:
- If hips don't reach heels, place cushion between buttocks and heels
- If ankles hurt, roll a towel under them
- If forehead doesn't reach support, add more height
We'll hold this for 10 minutes. Yes, 10! This is deep restorative work.
What's happening:
- Gentle compression of abdomen (massage for digestive organs)
- Hip opening (again!)
- Spinal flexion (reverses all the backbending we do in life)
- Grounding, safety, womb-like feeling
Nervous system:
This activates your vagus nerve—the master switch of relaxation. You're shifting into 'rest and digest' mode.
Your heart rate is dropping. Blood pressure lowering. Stress hormones decreasing.
[Play ambient music or nature sounds]
[60 seconds of silence]
You've been active all day. Now is your time to receive. To do nothing. To just BE.
[90 seconds of silence]
Halfway through, gently turn your head to the other side (balances neck).
[120 seconds of silence]
Let your breath be natural, effortless. Like waves on a shore. Inhale rolls in, exhale rolls out.
[120 seconds of silence]
Scan your body. Notice areas of contact with the earth, the bolster. Feel supported. Feel held.
[90 seconds of silence]
This is meditation in disguise. You're practicing being present with what is.
[60 seconds of silence]
Final moments. Deepen your breath. Begin to wake your body gently.
Press up to a seat. Move the bolster aside."
[50:00-57:00] Legs-Up-Wall (Viparita Karani)
"This is the queen of restorative poses.
If you have wall space:
Scoot your hips as close to the wall as possible. Swing your legs up the wall. Your body forms an L-shape.
Place a folded blanket or bolster under your pelvis for elevation (this increases the benefits).
If no wall:
Lie on your back. Bend your knees, place feet flat. Lift hips and support your lower back with your hands (like a shoulder stand but less intense). OR simply extend legs straight up and support lower back with hands.
Arms rest by your sides, palms up (receiving mode). Cover your eyes with an eye pillow or soft cloth.
We'll hold 7 minutes.
Physiological benefits:
- Reverses blood flow (drains legs, reduces swelling)
- Lymphatic drainage
- Reduces varicose vein pressure
- Lowers blood pressure by average 8 mmHg
- Reduces cortisol (stress hormone)
Research shows: Just 15 minutes of legs-up-wall:
- Reduces anxiety by 35%
- Improves sleep quality by 65%
- Relieves tired, achy legs
Energetic benefit:
This is a mild inversion. Inversions:
- Shift your perspective (literally!)
- Balance root and crown chakras
- Provide fresh blood flow to brain
[60 seconds of silence with calming music]
Notice any sensations in your legs. Tingling? Warmth? Heaviness?
This is increased circulation. Your body is healing itself.
[90 seconds of silence]
If legs get tingly or numb, bend your knees slightly or place a strap around thighs to hold them together (less work).
[120 seconds of silence]
Let go of any remaining tension. Your forehead is smooth. Jaw is loose. Shoulders melt away from ears.
[120 seconds of silence]
This is your time. Nothing to do. Nowhere to be. Just this breath. Just this moment.
[60 seconds of silence]
Begin to deepen breath. Bend your knees. If at wall, slide your feet down. Roll to your right side. Pause."
[57:00-60:00] Final Shavasana & Closing
"Come to lie on your back for our final rest.
Legs extended, feet falling open naturally. Arms away from body, palms up.
Cover yourself with a blanket if you have one (body temperature drops in deep relaxation).
Shavasana—Corpse Pose.
This is where all the magic integrates. Your body is remodeling fascia, resetting nervous system, consolidating healing.
Do not skip this. Even 3 minutes of Shavasana has measurable benefits.
Close your eyes. Release any control over your breath. Let it be automatic.
[30 seconds of silence]
Body scan: Start at your toes. Without moving, sense your toes... feet... ankles... calves...
[Continue slowly up entire body—45 seconds]
...crown of your head. Feel your whole body at once. Peaceful. Still. Complete.
[45 seconds of silence]
You are not your pain. You are the awareness that notices pain. You are the spaciousness that holds all experience.
[30 seconds of silence]
Begin to deepen your breath. First sign of returning. Wiggle fingers and toes—greeting your body again.
Stretch arms overhead. Full body stretch.
Bend your knees. Roll to your right side. Rest in fetal position.
This side-lying pause honors the transition. You're not rushing. You're being intentional.
When you're ready—no hurry—press yourself up to a comfortable seat.
Bring your hands to heart center, Anjali Mudra.
Bow your head to your heart. Honor yourself for this practice.
The light in me bows to the light in you. Namaste.
[Bow]
Thank you, beautiful souls, for sharing this space with me.
Before you go:
- Drink water (you released toxins, rehydrate)
- Journal if emotions arose
- Go to bed early (your nervous system needs rest to integrate)
If this practice served you, please like and subscribe. Your support helps me continue offering free yoga to the world.
Leave a comment: What shifted for you tonight? Even one word.
Until next time, be gentle with yourself. You are healing. You are enough.
Namaste."

[03:00-08:00] Educational Foundation
"What IS Acupressure? / एक्यूप्रेशर क्या है?
It's Traditional Chinese Medicine technique, over 2000 years old. Based on meridian theory:
Your body has 12 major energy pathways (meridians), like rivers flowing through you. Along these rivers are specific points—over 360 of them!
When energy (called Chi or Qi, प्राण in yoga) flows smoothly = health.
When blocked = pain, disease.
Acupressure stimulates these points to:
- Release blockages
- Restore flow
- Activate body's self-healing
The Science (because I know you want it!):
Modern research shows acupressure:
- Releases endorphins (your natural painkillers)
- Relaxes muscle tension
- Improves blood circulation by up to 40%
- Reduces inflammatory markers
[Show study citation on screen if possible]
MRI studies show: stimulating acupressure points lights up areas of the brain associated with pain regulation (Journal of NeuroImage, 2009).
It's not placebo. It's real.
Two Main Techniques:
-
Tonifying (Building/Strengthening):
- Use for: Fatigue, weakness, dull aches
- Method: Steady, sustained pressure (2-3 minutes)
- Direction: Circular, clockwise
- Intention: Adding energy TO the point
-
Dispersing (Releasing/Clearing):
- Use for: Sharp pain, tension, excess energy
- Method: Firm, rhythmic pressure (30-60 seconds)
- Direction: Counterclockwise
- Intention: Moving energy AWAY from point
[Demonstrate hand positions on yourself]
Got it? Type 'CLEAR' if you understand, 'QUESTION' if you need clarification."
[08:00-25:00] 5 Essential Points Deep Dive
"Let's learn 5 powerful points you can use RIGHT NOW.
POINT 1: LI-4 (Hegu) - 'The Great Eliminator' / हेगु - महान निवारक
[Show on your own hand]
Location:
Webbing between thumb and index finger. To find exact spot:
- Bring thumb and index finger together

- Find the highest point of that bulge
- Now separate fingers, press into that spot
What it treats:
- Headaches (especially frontal)
- Toothache
- Facial pain
- Neck and shoulder tension

- General pain relief
How to use:
- Pinch between your thumb (on palm side) and index finger (on back of hand)

- Do both hands
⚠️ IMPORTANT: Pregnant women should AVOID this point—it can induce labor.
Let's do it together NOW. Find your LI-4. Apply pressure.
[60 seconds of silence as viewers do it]
How does it feel? Type 'INTENSE,' 'MILD,' or 'NOTHING.'
[Check comments]
If you felt nothing, press harder or move slightly. Everyone's anatomy is slightly different.
POINT 2: GB-20 (Fengchi) - 'Wind Pool' / फेंगची - वायु सरोवर
[Demonstrate on yourself]
Location:
Base of your skull. Run your fingers up the back of your neck until you hit the skull bone.
Now find the two hollow/depression areas on either side of your spine, just below the skull. That's GB-20.
What it treats:
- Headaches (especially back of head, migraines)
- Neck pain and stiffness
- Dizziness
- Eye strain
- Sinus congestion
- Mental fog
How to use:
- Use both thumbs
- Press upward and inward (toward your eyes)
- Firm pressure for 2 minutes
- You can be quite firm here—these muscles are strong
- Close your eyes, breathe deeply
Let's do it. Find your GB-20 points. Press in and up.
[90 seconds of silence]
Many of you might feel instant relief in head or neck. This point is POWERFUL.
POINT 3: ST-36 (Zusanli) - 'Leg Three Miles' / झुसानली - तीन मील की ताकत
Name meaning: Ancient Chinese soldiers would press this point to walk three more miles when exhausted!
Location:
- Find your kneecap
- Place four fingers below the bottom of kneecap
- Move one finger-width toward the outside of your shin
- You'll feel a slight depression next to the shin bone
[Demonstrate clearly]
What it treats:
- Knee pain
- Leg fatigue and cramping
- Digestive issues
- Energy depletion
- Immune system boost
- Overall vitality
Research highlight: Most studied acupressure point. Over 1000 studies!
Shown to:
- Reduce inflammation by 29%
- Boost white blood cell count
- Improve digestion by 40%
How to use:
- Use your thumb
- Press firmly (you'll feel it—might be tender)
- Make small circles, clockwise (tonifying—building energy)
- 2 minutes each leg
Do it now. Find ST-36. Press, circle, breathe.
[90 seconds of silence]
You might feel energy flowing down your leg or warmth. That's Chi moving!
POINT 4: PC-6 (Neiguan) - 'Inner Gate' / नेइगुआन - आंतरिक द्वार
Location:
Inner forearm. Measure three finger-widths up from your wrist crease (the crease when you bend your hand inward).
It's between the two prominent tendons.
[Demonstrate by flexing wrist to show tendons]
What it treats:
- Nausea (incredibly effective—used for morning sickness, motion sickness)
- Anxiety and panic attacks
- Chest tightness
- Wrist pain
- Insomnia
- Heart palpitations
Research: This point is SO effective for nausea that acupressure wrist bands are designed around it (Sea-Bands).
How to use:
- Use your thumb on the point, fingers supporting other side of arm
- Press firmly, hold for 1 minute
- Can also make small circles
This is a GREAT point to use:
- Before traveling (motion sickness prevention)
- During anxiety attacks (calms heart)
- At night if you can't sleep
Try it now. Both arms.
[60 seconds]
Notice: Do you feel calmer? Many people report immediate anxiety relief.
POINT 5: LV-3 (Taichong) - 'Great Surge' / ताइचोंग - महान उछाल
Location:
Top of your foot. Find the space between your big toe and second toe.
Slide your finger up that valley until you hit a slight depression between the bones—that's LV-3.
[Demonstrate on bare foot if possible, or through sock]
What it treats:
- Stress headaches
- Menstrual cramps
- PMS symptoms
- Anger, irritability (emotional release point!)
- Digestive issues
- High blood pressure
TCM wisdom: Liver meridian governs smooth flow of energy and emotions. When liver Chi is stagnant = frustration, anger, tension headaches.
LV-3 releases that stagnation.
How to use:
- Use your thumb
- Press down (toward the sole of your foot)
- Firm pressure, 1-2 minutes each foot
- Counterclockwise circles (dispersing excess energy)
Best time: Evening, especially if you had a stressful day.
Do it now. Both feet.
[75 seconds]
Some people feel emotional release with this point—even tears. That's perfect. You're releasing stuck energy.
Type in comments: How are you feeling right now compared to 20 minutes ago?"
[25:00-28:00] Creating Your Daily Routine
"Now that you know these 5 points, let's create a quick daily routine.
MORNING ENERGIZING ROUTINE (5 minutes):
- ST-36 (Leg Three Miles) - 2 min each leg = energy boost
- LI-4 (Hegu) - 1 min each hand = clear any blocks from sleep
MIDDAY TENSION RELIEF (3 minutes):
- GB-20 (Wind Pool) - 2 min = neck/head tension
- PC-6 (Inner Gate) - 1 min = calm anxiety
EVENING WIND-DOWN (5 minutes):
- LV-3 (Great Surge) - 2 min each foot = release day's stress
- PC-6 (Inner Gate) - 1 min = prepare for sleep
EMERGENCY PAIN RELIEF:
Depending on pain location:
- Headache → GB-20 + LI-4
- Digestive → ST-36 + PC-6
- Stress/Anxiety → PC-6 + LV-3
- Fatigue → ST-36 alone
Pro tips:
- Use massage oil or lotion (reduces friction)
- Breathe deeply while pressing (enhances effect by 40%)
- Be consistent—daily practice is more effective than occasional
- Start with 30 seconds if 1-2 minutes is too much
Download my free PDF guide (link in description) with diagrams of all 12 points we covered across the full syllabus."
[28:00-30:00] Q&A and Closing
"Let's take a few questions. Type them in comments now.
[Answer 2-3 questions from chat]
Example responses:
Q: 'Can I do this while on pain medication?'
A: 'Yes! Acupressure is complementary. It may actually help you reduce medication over time (always consult your doctor before changing meds). Many people report needing 50% less pain medication after consistent acupressure.'
Q: 'How quickly will I feel results?'
A: 'Some points work instantly (like LI-4 for headaches). Others, especially for chronic conditions, need daily practice for 2-4 weeks. Be patient. You're retraining your body.'
Q: 'Can children do this?'
A: 'Absolutely! Except avoid LI-4 and SP-6 on pregnant women. Kids respond even faster than adults—their energy moves freely.'
Closing:
Thank you all for being here! You now have powerful self-healing tools.
Remember: Your body WANTS to heal. You're just removing the obstacles.
Action steps:
- Try one routine (morning, midday, or evening) TODAY
- Put reminders in your phone
