How to Do It

Focus on your kidneys by resting your hands on your lower back, and breathe deeply into this area. As you inhale through your nose, visualize drawing in fresh energy, and as you exhale, make the sound “Tchewww,” releasing any fear or anxiety. Continue repeating this sound and breath pattern, imagining fear dissolving and courage emerging with each exhale.

Why It Works

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the kidneys are believed to hold our essence and play a vital role in maintaining the balance of water and yin/yang energy in the body. When fear takes hold, this balance is disrupted, leading to a depletion of kidney energy. The kidneys are also closely linked to the adrenal glands, which are responsible for releasing adrenaline and cortisol—hormones that regulate our body's response to stress. The “Tchewww” sound helps to move the stagnant energy that manifests as fear, clearing it out and restoring flow to the kidney meridian. This process not only helps to regulate the body’s energetic system but also shifts us from a fear-driven state to one of courage and calm by restoring balance.

Guided Practice

Find a space where you feel comfortable and grounded, free from distractions. Whether you choose to sit or stand, allow your feet to press into the floor, creating a solid connection to the earth beneath you. Now, place your hands gently on your lower back, where your kidneys reside—organs that not only govern your body’s water balance but also hold your essence, the fundamental energy that sustains life.

As you close your eyes, begin taking deep, calming breaths through your nose. Imagine your breath traveling down to your kidneys, gently nourishing this area. With each inhale, visualize drawing in vital energy, restoring balance and regulating your body’s stress response.

Now, as you exhale, make the sound “Tchewww”, releasing the fear stored within. Picture the fear as a dense energy lodged in your kidneys, and with each exhale, feel it being expelled from your body. The sound works like a gentle wave, flushing away stagnant emotions and making space for something new. Each breath out allows the kidneys to regain their natural flow, clearing the kidney meridian and allowing the body’s life force to circulate freely.

As you continue this practice, repeat the cycle: inhaling deeply to invite courage and strength into your body, and exhaling with the sound “Tchewww”, letting go of fear. With each breath, feel the balance within your kidneys being restored, creating a sense of harmony and vitality. You can slowly let go of fear and constriction.

This unfolding of self-expression is not just emotional but physical—your kidneys, once drained by fear, are being revitalized, restoring your body’s core energy. As you practice, feel the growing sense of resilience within you, knowing that the adrenal glands and kidneys are now in sync, prepared to support you in moments of stress.

Take your time with each breath, tuning into the sensations in your body. You might feel warmth or lightness in your lower back, signaling the release of fear and the emergence of courage. When you’re ready, slowly bring your awareness back to the room, acknowledging the shift you’ve created—maybe some fear has been released or you sense a new, vibrant energy alive within you.

As you move forward, remember that this practice is always available to you. Each time fear arises, the simple act of tuning into your kidneys and releasing through the “Tchewww” sound can bring you back to balance, clarity, and courage.
