up cool so you can see my feet perfectly awesome so this is Nico here with fight fearless calm again if you haven't checked out our channel subscribing with us was boxing kickboxing Muay Thai Jiu Jitsu wrestling tai tai chi yoga today going into tai chi really inspired at the gym had to run back home and film what i want to say what i'm trying to say here with you guys today is how to route real inspirational thoughts been coming through my head lately and one has been definitely being connected to the earth there's something going on I'm feeling the energy of the earth the more I do these exercises and it is amazing I feel it in my gut I feel it connected to my pelvic floor I feel secure I feel grounded I feel connected to my root chakra okay so big importance of connecting your feet your feet are connected to the earth not your root chakra you did so that's right here you want to sit on the floor meditate sure that's good go to yoga class do it please and sit at home and do it as well sit on the floor connect with the floor that is powerful but today with Tai Chi we're really focusing on home the feet now the feet in reflexology are connected to all the organs so there's a lot of stuff there but if we're not connected to the earth we're not getting energy up into those organs when I get an energy up and tore our brain and where we need it so there's a lot of deep subtleties to all of this okay so what I want to explain first is again how to root so first of all hopefully again you can see my feet and see my toes okay so we want to have our feet about shoulder width apart now I say this because there's a lot of people that for some reason think that they're like this skinny girls or skinny guys with their feet super wide bring your toes in and now I don't know if that's an energetic thing past life we were talking that you know maybe you were heavier say there's a lot of energetic things going on that we need to align okay so having your feet parallel stir straighten the line with your hips the size of your hips very important so check that okay in order to see if one foot turns out more than the other you're gonna bring that toe in okay we want to grip with our big toes gripping with the big toes big toes are connected to the head pituitary pineal gland okay so we want to get some some action in those toes really work the toes okay the tendons of the toes connect to the earth energy of the earth connecting to our tendons tendons going up to the rest of our body all right so it's all about the tendons here tennis with Tai Chi okay so I can't grip in the toes pulling up on the inner arches that's the first thing okay rock back into your heels rock back into your toes feel the weight okay I'm sorry that I lifted my toes trying to stay grounded try to stay rooted here okay so feel a difference now I would go in and out and feeling the outsides of the feet feeling the insights okay mainly again for the feet get the feet grounded if you're not feeling the feet now check this out stomp the ground stomp get some feel and get some energy you know start to feel some buzzing take my keys out okay start stomping the ground get connected get rooted okay bounce a little bit okay one of my favorite is just lifting the heels and getting connected with all the musculature in the cows okay like you're running but you're not lifting your toes alright keep your feet they're just gonna activate the the bubbling spring kidney points kidney points under the feet coming up onto the toes help of calve raises okay once we're grounded into our toes and grip your heels down and this is what they call screwing the knees screwing the knees are gonna turn the knees outward and you're gonna feel the connection from the feet and the heel is gonna pull up on the inner arches the outsides of the feet you want to imagine somebody sewing your toe big toe to your pinky toe all the way around to the outside of the heel okay on the outsides of the feet from there your feet are really secured to the floor and a pull up on the inner arches like a suction cup pulling imagine that pulling in the energy up natural earth energy feminine energy healing energy coming up okay connecting with our young energy from the universe in in our head fire active connecting with the natural waters of the earth right and here in the center don t n but again going back down to the feet so we're screwing the floor gripping the big toes pulling up on the inner arches and then the knees slightly rotating out now from there you're gonna feel the hamstrings activate in the back of the leg once you screw the knees out you feel the hamstrings activate muscle tightens in on the bicep for the bicep tendon are the bicep for Mars turn into the tendon behind the hamstring okay from here we're gonna pull up squeezing the glutes into the sacrum you're gonna feel the kind of this energy coming up and that's where we connect with the Earth's energy into our core okay going up into the sacrum sacrum up to our spine that into the microcosmic orbit which we can go into for later video say that for later but again most important thing is that we're rooting down screwing into the floor pulling that energy up okay I say the importance of this I digress I say that I say the importance of this because for two years of being in Tai Chi going up and to Irvine going doing Tai Chi every day they didn't really speak much English a couple of them did but for the most part I had to learn these things by just experience okay I'm just going through a day to day and trying to figure out Tai tree trying to figure out you know what is this you know what is Chi Chi is the heart force okay and we're gonna manipulate it with it with the Tai Chi when you use it control it feel it bring it in positive Chi positive energy but anyway I'll say that for later videos this first time live so I know I've been rambling a lot but I just want to get a lot of information in there to you guys and get you the rundown because again this is something stuff that we got to think about all the time you know you got to think about you got to be interested in it for one but I know that you are because this is life Tai Chi's is in every aspect and it really teaches us so much about energy which which we're trying to figure out right how to control positive and negative energy positive negative emotions right experiencing these things daily how to transmute them change them into positive positive reinforcements for our life so get grounded guys start stomping your feet screw you screw your knees in and pull that energy up and then check you guys on the other videos that we've got with us if you haven't already like fearless comm thank you guys for
