Revitalizing Your Life Energy (Qi) Through Motion – Series

From Qigong stance, move arms so that they are resting naturally alongside the body, palms are downward, fingers lifted slightly.

Inhale and slowly turn to one side as you exhale, make sure your gaze follows the movement. Inhale coming back to the center, and exhale as you turn to the other side.

Finish with clearing by going to Qigong position.

Modification: Squeeze your shoulder blades toward your spine as you turn, getting an extra stretch in the chest and shoulders.

This brocade is also called the “Five Fatigues & Seven Illnesses” and releases chronic tension in the neck and shoulder muscles and improves posture. It also stimulates cerebral blood circulation which can reduce fatigue and fine-tune intuition.
