Kidney Protocol 1: Get the Kidney Energy Flowing
Preparation
1.	Do energy pre-checks for a testable muscle on Spleen, including hydration.
Test and notice results
2.	Do Triple Warmer Muscle Test.
3.	Test for Triple Warmer Reactivity. If found, do the TW Reactivity Pose to correct.
4.	Do Kidney Muscle Test.
5.	Do the slap test to check grounding. Do the arc test just off the bottom of the feet to
test whether Yin energy is coming up. Check Yin and Yang energies with arcs at
various places on the body.
Is Kidney locked up?
6.	Check K-1, K-3, K-10, K-16 (waist), K-27 for irregular energies. Do NOT correct.
Energy congestion occurs where there's a bend in the body or where the Meridians
bend.
Prepare to balance Kidney
7.	Figure 8 the bottom of the feet. Do Vortex Revival for 1 to 3 minutes.
8.	Massage all the front NL points to help balance the Meridians.
9.	Massage the hand gaits, then the feet gaits to open up the Meridians.
10.	Scratch the head all over to stimulate the NV points.
11.	Sedate Circulation/Sex Meridian (CX-7, SP-3 then CX-3, K-10).
12.	Sedate Bladder Meridian (B-65, GB-42 then B-40 [B-54 behind the knee] ST-36).
13.	Do Anchor and Wander on Triple Warmer, crossing the body as you wander.
14.	Hold Heart Electric (in from armpit, up from nipple) with Kidney NL (1" out and 2"
above the navel).
Balance Kidney Energy
15.	Spin magnet, crystal, or flip hand back & forth - up, then down, then up Kidney
Meridian. Then do other side of the body.
16.	Hold first set of Kidney Meridian sedating points (K-1, LV-1).

17.	Hold first set of Kidney Meridian strengthening points (K-7, LU-8).
18.	Standing on the right side of the body, press in and jiggle the lleocecal valve and
the Kidney NL point (upper front arm).
19.	Standing on the left side of the body, press in and jiggle the Houston valve and
the Kidney NL point. (The psoas and iliacus muscles in this area are governed by
Kidney Meridian.)
20.	With one hand, massage the Kidney NL points 2" above the navel while
simultaneously gently tugging the hair at the crown chakra. If there is no hair to
tug, hold the crown with a 3-finger notch.
21.	Massage K-27. Massage along the top of the shoulders (shoulder gaits for
Kidney).
22.	With the fingers of both hands, massage each side of the neck vigorously, about
halfway up.
23.	Make one soft pinch on each cheekbone, just below the eye.
24.	Hold the control points for Kidney Meridian (SP-3, K-3).
25.	Do the Kidney Wave at the feet (4-5 waves).
Steps to help the changes hold
26.	Bounce the Mingmen to build up heat, pull hands apart slightly and massage the
kidneys always feeling the heat, horseshoe pull around the hips (back to front),
massage the lleocecal and Houston Valves, and continue to pull the heat slowly
up to K-27 and massage.
27.	Hold the Dantian (the lowest TW burner, below the navel) simultaneously with a
3-finger notch on Heart Chakra.  You will feel heat; hold until it subsides.
28.	Hold a long Hook-Up.
29.	Do Anchor and Wander on Spleen.
Follow-up testing
30.	Recheck irregular energies.
31.	Do Kidney Muscle test.
32.	Do Triple Warmer Muscle test.

Kidney Protocol 2: Get Kidney Communicating With All Meridians
Preparation
1.	Do energy pre-checks on Spleen Meridian, including hydration.
2.	Do Triple Warmer Muscle test.
3.	Test for Triple Warmer Reactivity. If found, do the TW Reactivity Pose to correct.
4.	Sedate Circulation/Sex Meridian (CX-7, SP-3 then CX-3, K-10).
5.	Sedate Bladder Meridian (8-65, GB-42 then B-40 [B-54 behind the knee] ST-36).
6.	Do Anchor & Wander on Triple Warmer.
7.	Buzz K-27.
Test to determine whether other meridians are talking to Kidney. Document results.
8.	Check Star Diagnostic and note results.
9.	Check Starfish Connection by jiggling control cycles.

10.	Check the 5 Rhythms Wheel on the flow cycle and note results.   Start with Water,
jiggle Water/Wood, Wood/Fire, Fire/Earth, etc. A weak test indicates the flow isn't
moving. When Water isn't running, the other Rhythms are not energized.
11.	Using the 5 Rhythms Wheel, draw a circle to represent each element at its place on
this wheel and note the location of each Meridian. Jiggle each Meridian with the
Kidney concurrently, then test. Start by jiggling K/BL, then K/LV, then K/GB etc. all the
way around the wheel. A weak test indicates that Kidney Energy is not talking with the
energy of the other Meridian.
Facilitate the Kidney conversation
12.	Using the 5 Rhythms Wheel, hold the Yin Meridians on the Yang (right) side of the
body, starting with Kidney. K->LV, LV->HT, HT->CX, CX->SP, SP->LU, LU->K. Heat
will rise. Hold until the heat subsides (could be up to 5 minutes).
Hold anywhere on the Meridian. Move just one hand at a time, so you're always connected. Check in with the client before moving for optimum connections between the Meridians.
Based on the teaching of Donna Eden August 2010 - Risa Hearn
Retest
13.	Retest the Star Diagnostic, Starfish Connection, flow cycle between Rhythms and flow
cycle between Kidney and the other Meridians.
14.	If there are any weaknesses in step 16, repeat step 12, this time holding the Yin
Meridians on the Yin (left) side of the body.
Facilitate the shift from Triple Warmer to Kidney
15.	Do Anchor and Wander on Spleen.
16.	DoaHook-Up.
17.	Do Figure 8s over the body and from the body out into the aura to fluff Kidney Energy
into the aura. Fluff the aura.
Retest
18.	Do Triple Warmer Muscle test

Homework
Do a strong jiggle around the flow wheel. When heat comes up, the connection is there. Keep jiggling until the heat subsides. Do this mindfully. Really connect with your body and listen to what it is saying.
Do a Hook-Up and Figure 8s out into the Aura.
Trace the Meridians a couple of times each day, including holding end and start points until connected with pulses.
This protocol is doable on yourself. Do it from time-to-time until Kidney remains strong.
If you have a lot of stress in your life, the protocol will need to be done on a regular basis to evolve and remind Triple Warmer and Kidney of their main functions and to be in balance and harmony.

IN OUR STRESSED OUT (TRIPLE WARMER) WORLD OR
"HOW TO GET YOUR GROOVE BACK"
ADDENDUM
/ was fortunate to be able to do this protocol on Donna in San Diego. She gave me some great information.
1)	If doing this Protocol on someone with an Autoimmune Disease be sure that you
do it in the two parts with at least 24 hours in between, rather than trying to do both
parts at the same time. Let the body integrate.
2)	When massaging the gaits, also massage along the top of the shoulders,
which Donna called shoulder gaits for Kidney.
Questions that have come up after the post class:
1)	Do you need to do the muscle tests on Triple Warmer and Kidney, Yin and Yang
Energies, and Checking the Acupoints for Irregular Energies, or can you move directly
into balancing mode?
You can move directly into balancing mode. The tests are for information gathering only.
2)	"I have been dizzy. What can I do?"
/ would have to check your energies to be sure, but I think that you probably need to connect the Yins on the Yin side of the body like you connected the Yins on the Yang side of the body.
3)	"I feel angry. What can I do?"
If you know your client's Rhythm, be sure the connections on both sides of the Flow wheel are well connected so that this doesn't happen. Also, you can work with the Rhythm NVs.
4)	Can you go through your explanations of why you are doing each step as we were
unable to take notes while doing the protocol.
/ will go through them where they are not already explained:
Kidney Protocol 1: Get the Kidney Energy Flowing
Figure 8-ing the bottom of the feet helps with grounding (Tibetan Energy Rings), while the Vortex Revival pulls the Yin Energies up the body and the Yang Energies down the body.
Sedate Circulation/Sex Meridian -1 am talking to the partner of Triple Warmer. Sedate Bladder Meridian -1 am talking to the partner of Kidney.
Anchor & Wander on Triple Warmer -1 use this rather that Sedating Points so that I can engage Triple Warmer as a Radiant Circuit and slip underneath its radar. When you are holding the last point and Triple Warmer has hooked up, take your thumb and place on Bl 1 while remaining connected to the Anchor and Wander points to connect in with Bladder and soothe the Nervous System.

Heart Electric with Kidney NL -1 am juicing the Kidney NL.
Spin the magnet on Kidney Meridian -1 am getting Kidney's attention and bringing it up to the surface so that I can work with it.
Then as / am bringing Kidney Energy up the body, pinching under the eyes is governed by Stomach Meridian, which sits in Earth to control Water.
In my reading, I learned the Mingmen was also called Yang Kidney, Vital Gate, Minister Fire, etc. You can use this energy to juice the Kidneys and pull it up to K-27. You are also getting help from the Penetrating Flow Radiant Circuit.
Holding the Dantian with the thumb below the navel and the rest of the hand resting on the belly with the Heart Chakra is a deep connection of Yin and Yang on many levels - the Yang of Triple Warmer with the Yin of Heart. (In my reading Dantian means cinnabar field, red field, field of energy, and refers to three important zones that are traditionally associated with the three treasures, or three burners, of the Triple Burner or what we call Triple Warmer: the upper cinnabar field in the center of the head; the middle cinnabar field in the middle of the chest; and the lower cinnabar field in the center of the belly. The lower Dantian is approximately four thumb widths below the navel, at a location corresponding roughly to the acupuncture point CV-4, a point known to acupuncturists as the Sea of Energy. The middle Dantian is known as the heart cavity or the Scarlet Palace and is level with the acupuncture point CV-17. This center is linked to heart energy which is connected with spirit and consciousness.)
Hooking up is not only Central and Governing as Meridians, but also Radiant Circuits and Yin and Yang. It settles everything down.

Anchor and Wander on Spleen is all about helping metabolize this shift from Triple Warmer to Kidney Energy.
Kidney Protocol 2: Get Kidney Communicating With All Meridians
Kidney Protocol 2 is more straightforward. Be sure that when you are connecting the Yins you don't lift both hands in between connections and be sure to communicate with your client as you may feel the connection before they do and you don't want to move before they feel the connection is complete. You may need to do the Yins on the Yin side of the body. If your client is feeling unsteady this is a must. You might also need to do the Yangs on the Yin side of the body and then the Yangs on the Yang side of the body.
Do the homework! ENJOY!
