Have you ever had a conversation with someone and felt like they hit you in the gut? Have you ever had someone look you up and down or give you a nasty look and suddenly not feel so well? Do you pick up on other people’s feelings? Especially if you work closely with other people, you may be taking on other people’s negative energies, without even knowing it. If you are a teacher, standing up in front of students all day long, who naturally look you up and down, may be inadvertently unzipping your energies and making you feel vulnerable. Luckily, there is a simple technique by Donna Eden that can help you protect yourself!
The Zip Up involves tracing your Central Meridian, from the pubic bone up to the bottom lip, along the center the body and through the bottom 5 Chakras. Doing this will help you feel more safe, confident and positive about yourself and the world. It will help you think more clearly, tap into your inner strength, and protect you from any negative energies that may be around you. It even supports your brain and nervous system, and helps calm the parasympathetic nervous system.
Donna ends the Zip Up with a locking motion, on the acupoint just below the bottom lip, using an imaginary key, then tossing it away, up in the air. Because the Central Meridian governs hypnosis and suggestion this lock actually works as intended, protecting you from negative energies and preventing people from unzipping you! Affirmations are more powerful when locked in with a Zip Up for this reason too.
Try this quick, simple energy technique now, and see if you feel a difference!
The Zip Up (use as often as you need)
Note: If you feel like you need to release excess or unwanted energies, start by tracing the Central Meridian backwards, from the lower lip down to the pubic bone while slowly releasing the breath. Then proceed with the Zip Up.
1. Place hands at your pubic bone. (the beginning of the Central Meridian)
2. While breathing in deeply, slowly move hands up the center of your body, to your lower lip. Use an affirmation while doing this if you wish.
3. Then lock the acupoint just below the lower lip, with an imaginary key and throw it away, up in the air.
Note: If you can’t trace the meridian physically, you can simply look in the mirror, and trace with your eyes, from your pubic bone up to the point below the lower lip, then lock it in mentally.

This exercise is part of Donna Eden’s Daily Energy Routine, which she designed to rebuild the immune system, relieve pain, increase vitality and improve clarity of mind. Each month, I am highlighting, in detail, one exercise from the routine. We have covered the 4 Thumps, the Shoulder Pull, the Cross Crawl, the Wayne Cook Posture, the Crown Pull and Connecting Heaven and Earth in previous months. You can still find these tips on my Facebook page, Empowered Energy Wellness. This month’s exercise, the Zip Up, comes sequentially after the exercises listed above, in the official routine. However, each of these simple exercises can definitely be done individually or out of order…and still be just as effective. Feel free to skip ahead and follow Donna’s entire routine. It only takes about 12 minutes each day. That is a very small percentage of your day, and I think you’ll find the benefits well worth it. I honestly don’t go a day without doing it, at least once! When I first discovered the routine, I had no idea it would end of my 25 year struggle with chronic, debilitating migraines and lead to relief from my own autoimmune disorders. Committing to this simple, daily self-care really changed my life, and I am confident it can yours as well!
