It was my understanding that this a treatable condition. I strongly recommend you see a credentialed sleep specialist if you haven't already. (See "The Promise of Sleep" for a paragraph or two more info. The little I know comes from this book.)
With respect to energy, some untested ideas off the top of my head:
Your wife might do full body and leg bouncing for 5 to 15 minutes, once or twice a day, every day. This will strengthen, clear, and widen the energy channels in the legs, making spontaneous flow less noticeable and irritating in the long run.
1. Also, if the energy is coming in spontaneously, taking time out to intentfully raise energy might lessen the demand during the night.
2. If the energy is flowing out, help it. She might "vent," stream energy from her hands and feet.
Choose wisely between one and two!
Also, visualizations involving balancing energy might help. Prayer, etc. Don't underestimate it!
All the best,
Mark

this may be caused by energy stuck in the base chakra. I have a friend who has had this problem for many years too. When he learnt tai chi he was able to release it by breathing his chi from his base chakra out through his feet.
It is also caused by stuck sexual energy, by stimulating and then earthing or breathing the resulting energy outwards down through her feet your wife may gain relief. Good luck.

Hi everyone,
My wife is currently 7.5 months pregnant and has developed quite an annoying bout of Restless Leg Syndrome, which is keeping her up most of the night, even if she's dead tired. She is having gobs of energy twitching through her legs and isn't able to get rid of it.
What I would like to know is, if this is truly an energy imbalance in her energy field and if there are any recommended energy techniques either her or I could do to help "siphon" off this execess energy ... any recommendations are appreciated!
Thank you!
Cheers!
