• When doing this exercise while sitting, try to sit up and keep the spine straight.

• When doing this exercise while lying down, lie on your back and keep your spine as straight as possible.

• When doing this exercise while standing, stand straight with your toes pointing forward and bend your knees a little. (If you want to lose weight bend your knees a little more.)

• Set your feet a little more than shoulder width apart for good balance while standing.

• Eyes look forward. An Introduction To Qigong

• Wear a smile on your face to relax every part of the body and stimulate your brain to produce endorphins.

• Draw your chin back a little to straighten the entire spine. Energy travels up and down the spine in the governing channel more easily when the spine is straight.

• Drop your shoulders and move your elbows outward a little.• Open your hands and gently spread your fingers. When you open your fingers you open many energy channels in the body. When you close your fingers you close these channels.

• Slowly take a deep, silent, gentle breath through your nose. As you breathe in, draw the lower stomach in a little. As you breathe out, let your stomach out. This makes it easier for the Yin and Yang energies to communicate with each other and create balance.

• Imagine using your whole body to breathe. Visualize the universal energy coming into every cell of your body and collecting in the lower Dantian. This is a primary energy center in your body. The lower Dantian is located in the area behind your navel.

• When you exhale, visualize any pain or sickness changing into smoke and shooting out from every cell of your body to the end of the universe.

• Gently close your eyes and lips.

• Now say the password in your mind: “I am in the universe. The universe is in my body. The universe and I combine together.”

• Continue breathing slowly, deeply and gently and feel the emptiness, the quietness, the stillness of the universe.

Do this exercise for 2 to 3 minutes or longer if you have the time.
