Many people use foot reflexology to affect the entire body. However, the feet are not the only microcosm of the body. As Grandmaster Lu says, “Your hand is a microcosm. Your face is a microcosm. Your eyes are a microcosm. Your nose is a microcosm. Your ear is a microcosm. Each part of the body is a microcosm of the whole. Can you follow this concept?”
The ear is the part of the body related to the kidney and the winter season. When you massage your ears, you massage your entire body with less force and less effort. Start from the top of each ear and work downwards to keep the energy flowing. When your ears are warm, your whole body is warm. That is Grandmaster Lu’s best tip for winter training.
In the video below, Grandmaster Lu demonstrates a good ear massage.
