When the energy in your energy field is running well, it does a cross over pattern so that you can access both your right and left brain hemispheres. When your energy is what is called "homolateral" this means that it is flowing straight up and down instead of in a cross over pattern. Babies naturally have a cross over flow and do the cross crawl while lying on their backs or crawling. The cross crawl exersize helps bring the energy back into its healthy crossing over pattern by mimicking the exercise that babies do.

Anyone with a chronic condition or who is inactive or fatigued in severe ways can have a homolateral energy flow. Many to all people with CFS (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome), EI (Environmental Illness), PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) can have a homolateral energy flow and may benefit from the cross crawl exercise. It may help if one finds one simply can't recover no matter what techniques one is using to heal. People who exercise a lot usually naturally cross over.

How does one do this technique?

First it is important to make sure you are hydrated. This is true of any Energy Medicine Therapy or use of Muscle Testing. It keeps your electrical system balanced. Drink a glass of water prior to your session and make sure you drink 8 glasses a day.

2. Tap your collar bone points (left index and third finger tapping right collarbone point and right index and third finger tapping left collarbone point so hands are crossed over) while taking a slow deep breath in and exaling slowing 2 times. For a picture of the collorbone points see here>> . Then tap over your heart between your breasts breathing in and out deeply twice. Then right tap under your breast in line with your nipples while breathing deeply in and out. Stimulating these points helps to align the energy system.

3. Then, you are going to do a kind of marching exercise where you raise your right leg and right arm at the same time and then your left leg and arm at same time, so that you are marching (do it slowly and gently) raising your same arm with the same leg. You may want to touch your hand or elbow to your knee as you raise both. Repeat 12 times. Some people suggest saying an affirmation at the same time.

"I do the best I can. I am relaxed" "I am grateful for all and take responsibility."

4. Now, you are going to do the marching pattern in regular crossing over style. This means raising your right leg with left arm and left leg with right arm, touching hand or elbow to the opposite knee as you march. Repeat this 12 times. Some affirmations to use might include:

"I release the past and walk joyously into a clear and peaceful present." "I allow change. A new and happy me. A new identity."

5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 two more times, using whatever affirmations come to mind.

6. Repeat step 4 one more time.

7. Repeat step 2 one more time.

8. Massage over your torso area to stimulate circulation or you can pat up and down your body, arms, legs, armpits, chest, stomach, head, face, and neck.

 

The are other exercises you can throw in such as one where you reach up towards the sky with one arm and down towards earth with your other arm.

1. You start by standing straight and letting your arms hang by your sides. Feel your energy in your body pull down into the earth grounding you.

2. Then, bring your hands up in prayer position over your heart and take a deep slow breath in and out.

3. Then, you are going to, on your next inhale, reach your right arm up to the sky and stretch it as much as you can, while opposingly reaching your left arm down to the ground stretching it so that you feel completely stretched. On your outbreath, you are going to bring your arms and hands slowly back to prayer position over your heart.

4. Repeat this process with the opposite arms stretched to sky/ground on your next inbreath. One the outbreath, bring your hands back to prayer position over your heart. Feel the energy channeling in your hands and body.

5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 two more times.

6. End the exercise by bending forward letting your arms touch the ground and hanging there for a short moment. Then, slowly bring yourself to standing up again.
