Hemi Hook-Up
This posture is helpful for times when you are feeling overwhelmed, chaotic or overly-stressed. If you experience frequent hyper-arousal, you can use this posture many times per day to help re-train your system.
These Hook-Up postures were developed by Wayne Cook, an expert and pioneering researcher who spent 33 years studying the body's energy fields and their relationship to health.
The Hemi Hook-Up posture can help you:
- Untangle inner chaos
- Calm the system
- Focus your mind more effectively
- Think more clearly
- Encourage relaxation and healing
The crossover action used in the Hemi Hook-Up affects the brain by balancing activity in the two hemispheres. This exercise is a simple way to relax and calm the system. It can serve as an effective and peaceful preparation for relaxation, meditation or sleep.
 The Hook-Up can be performed while standing, sitting, or lying down. Hook-Ups are helpful if you practice them right after you wake up in the morning, whenever you face a stressful situation or to encourage a calm feeling at any time of the day.
Don't let the simplicity of this exercise fool you into thinking that it's ineffective. Give it a try and see what a difference it makes for you. Having a basic understanding of how your brain works and practicing whole-brain exercises can help to take some of the anxiety out of previously daunting situations and improve your overall capabilities. By consistently reducing the effects of stress we can encourage a state of self-healing.
