Sharon Friedman – Vigilance and Tranquility

I remember that the last time I did push ups with open palms it felt very strange to me. I am now so used to fist push ups that the regular ones seem funny to me. We work a lot with the fists and sometimes neglect the power of the open hand. You can jab with the fingers and hit hard surfaces without getting hurt using this softer approach. For example slap each other lightly on the body and limbs and find where the hand fits. Move slowly around each other and check if you can slap away a fist coming at you and where it promotes less fighting spirit at your partner. You can also give another some power by bringing his energy up. You need to work with the right intension and with honest work you will get there. Slaps to the face are more emotional than other hits. The face is a taboo to many people and you may even feel bad for touching someone else like this. Think of helping your friend learn more about himself and hit him with good intensions. Otherwise you may take the pain away and you want to be a giver rather than a taker here.
