Five Thumps
Kidney 27
Our kidneys are the home to our most fundamental yin and yang energies, the opposing yet complimentary forces that are so important to keep in balance. The kidney energy system is how we receive the healing, yin earth energy into our bodies. It governs and nourishes the essential fluids of the body, the bone marrow, spinal cord and brain. The health of our kidney energy system is connected to our reproductive health, longevity, ageing and memory.

Thymus Thump
The thymus serves a vital role in our immune system. One of its main secretions is the hormone thymosin which stimulates the maturation of T cells (T-lymphocytes) T-cells are an extremely important type of white blood cell that defend the body from potentially deadly pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi.
The thymus becomes less active with age and by the time we are in our 50's is thought to retain only 15% of it's function
Our thymus is also related to our higher heart chakra which when active allows us to feel unconditional love and compassion. It gives us the ability to forgive and to transform
Here is an excellent article on the thymus and higher heart chakra
