How To Get Instant Relief From Lower Back & Sciatic Pain

Lower back pain can vary from uncomfortable to extreme agony.

The loss of productive time that is consumed by being in a damaged state is costly physically, emotionally, spiritually and financially.

As with all pain in the body, the remedy can be found within realm of relaxation!

Promoting breath awareness, neural connection and bringing light into darkness in its essence is simple!

But relaxing, connecting and filling your body up with light when your body is in pain is not.

And this is where what i call BioEnergetic movements can bring great relief and promote mobility again.

Whether it’s menstrual cramps, sciatica pain, or tension in your thighs, finding relief is essential.

The technique i share with you in the video below is a well tried and much loved practice that has brought relief from lower back and sciatic pain for a lot of people

Remember, rest your back on warmth!

A rug, a blanket, something on the floor you practice on so you’re comfortable.

That way you can fully focus on the lowering and bringing up of your knees helping your groin to relax and open.

The flatter the surface you rest on the better

To start, find a comfortable space where you can lie down, such as your bedroom or living room floor.

Lying on a rug or woolen blanket on a harder surface is more supportive of your lower back in particular your sacrum.

Here’s how to position yourself:

Lie Flat: Bring yourself down onto your back.
Knees Up: Lift your knees, keeping your feet flat on the ground.
Hand Placement: Rest your right hand on your belly and place your left hand over your right. This position harmonises with YIN/YANG energy, that being your right hand (YANG) supports your left hand and your left hand (YIN) nourishes your right.

Keeping your spine and hip bones at the same height is the best position for this technique.

You can do it in bed (on a mattress) for emergency situations and still receive great benefit.

But ultimately the flatter the surface the easier it is to re-align, support and feel your sacral bone and lower lumber vertebrae.

FOCUS ON YOUR BREATH

Breath is crucial for this exercise:

Inhale/exhale: As best you can, breathe IN and OUT through your nose allowing your belly to rise gently on your IN-breath and drop on your OUT.
Open Your Legs Slowly: Let your knees open slowly. Ideally, this should take about one to two minutes even more once you get the hang of it.
Control Your Knees: A helpful technique is to imagine there’s a bent piece of green bamboo placed between your knees. The goal is to slowly bring your knees together, bending the fictional green bamboo stick while you control the movement of your ascending knees without any sudden jolts.

EMBRACE THE SHAKE

As you repeat this process, you might feel your legs begin to shake.

This is a sign of suppressed and stagnant energy commonly held around the sacrum area where the sciatic nerve exits the spine to branch out to your legs.

Here’s what is suggested:

Let It Happen: Allow your legs to shake. This is natural and can help release blocked energy.
Repetition is Key: Continue bringing your knees together and then apart, doing this several times—three to five rounds—whilst always maintaining focus on breathing IN & OUT.

The lower back and buttocks region is home to where the spinal nerve branches out to go down the legs through what is called the illiosacral holes located on your sacrum.

As your knees are SLOWLY coming up and down, focus on lifting your abdomen up on your IN-breath and the lowering of your abdomen on your OUT-breath.

Further visualisations

Image the green bamboo stick between your knees so you can feel the resistance between your knees particularly as your knees are on the upward stroke.

As with all pain, including lower back pain and sciatic pain, the body’s natural response is to tense up!

Relax your eyes
Relax your tongue
Relax the back of your neck
Relax your bum!

Relax, breathe and let your legs shake.

The more they shake the better you’ll feel.

TIME FOR YOURSELF

Try to dedicate 30 to 40 minutes to this exercise.

Consider playing soothing music to further help you relax into it:

Knees Apart, Knees Together: Open your legs, pause, then close them without any jagged movements.
Feel the Release: Allow your body to react, shake, and let go of tension.

This simple yet effective healing practice/exercise helps move and release the energy that gets held in the body just through living not because of some trauma be it physical or spiritual.

It brings relief to pain in the lower back and stiff legs.

Always maintain focus on your breath with the goal to being able to hold the rhythm of your breath consciousness within the movement of your muscle connection.

When you’re finished, you might just feel a wave of relief wash over you, leaving you grateful for the time you devoted to your healing.

Remember, finding peace and comfort is within your reach.
