Paida universal regionS

Theoretically, all parts of the body can be slapped. Normally, Paida follows a top-down sequence.

When sick, a person will want to know which meridians are blocked. There are 14 meridians in the body—12 standard meridians, and the Ren and Du Meridians along the central front and back of the torso. All illnesses originate from blockade of the 14 meridians, whether mosquito bites or tumors, insomnia or constipation. Normally, multiple meridians are blocked in a sick person. Unblocking these 14 meridians cures it all, doesn’t it?

However, many people do not have enough time to slap all over the body. They tend to look for key areas related to their illnesses for Paida. To make it simple and improve efficacy, we recommend slapping the head and four “universal regions”, which basically cover all 14 meridians in the body. 

The four universal regions are as follows: elbows (front and back sides), knees (front, back, left and right sides), hands (front and back sides) and feet (top, bottom, left and right sides), eight in total. 

When slapping elbows or knees, all areas including front, back, left and right sides are to be slapped thoroughly; The best way to Paida the back of a hand is to place one hand on a knee, and Paida the back of that hand and fingers with the palm of the other hand; When Paida the feet, it is necessary to slap thoroughly the inner and outer sides of the ankles, and the tops and soles of the feet. To heal faster, slap each area for 15 minutes or more. Make it a habit and slap at least one universal region each day.

Paida the head

After slapping the universal regions thoroughly, go on to Paida the entire head, including the top, left, right, front and back sides of the head, neck, eyes (closed), cheeks, nose, mouth, and ears. Slapping the entire head helps to relieve all chronic diseases, particularly effective for healing headache, insomnia, diseases with the five-sense organs, cardiovascular disease and Alzheimer’s disease. This is because all Yang meridians corresponding to internal organs go up to the head. For instance, Liver opens into the eyes; Kidney opens into the ears; Lung opens into the nose; Spleen opens into the mouth; Heart opens into the tongue. Thus slapping the entire head also heals disorders of the internal organs.

Paida “weak corners” and the entire body

The armpits, the groins, the inner elbows and the popliteal fossa (the back of knees) are dubbed as “eight weak corners” in Huang Di Nei Jing. They are mostly likely to accumulate cold-dampness, toxins and wastes. Clearing these areas is a “shortcut” in self-healing pains and diseases. But the armpits and the groins are not included in the “universal regions for Paida”, for they are less convenient to slap and it hurts more. People may reject Paida altogether if they feel too much pain during their initial taste of Paida. However, at our workshops, these are key targets of Paida.

After thoroughly slapping the head and universal regions, it’s best to also slap the armpits and the groins. Then go on to slap the entire four limbs, chest, back, abdomen, buttocks, i.e., “carpet bomb” the entire body.[:zh]
