up from the sides.

sides with Yin palms
(palms facing downward) bringing them to the shoulder level.
- Initiating with your middle fingers, raise the fingers upwards. Open your
Labor/Laogong cavities by popping open your palms to facilitate the energy
flow.
- Initiating at the shoulder blades, visualize reaching for the edge of the
universe. Draw the Qi from the edge of the universe into your body. Push
your waste Qi out to the edge of the universe. When you pull in the Qi use
the fingers to catch and drag the Qi. Visualize drawing in the Qi to the
inside of your body. When you push out the Qi visualize dumping the waste energies into the universe. Then mix your own Qi with
Cosmic energy for the next inhalation. Repeat the movement three times (or
more if you wish).
- Exhale and close your arms horizontally by 15 degrees. Inhale and open
your arms by 15 degrees. When you open up yourself push out your

arms 15 degrees. As you raise your arms visualize your frustrations, fears
and anxieties being pushed out to the universe. As you lower your arms

if you wish).

for the length of one inhalation and exhalation. Relax your shoulders to
facilitate the Qi flowing into your whole body.
- Lower your palms to guide the Qi downward. Continue to lower the palms
down to your forehead and touch the Yintong (the point between your
eyebrows) with your middle fingers. Visualize Qi being sent into the
Yintong all the way through to the Yuzhen (back of the head).

Yuzhen to send the Qi to the Yintong. Visualize every cell within your brain
being filled with universal intelligence.

your waste Qi into the earth. The middle fingers travel down the inside of
your legs while your mind pilots the Qi down inside your bone marrow.

weight to both palms. Exhale your breath while pushing the palms downward on
the insteps and visualize pushing your waste Qi into the earth.
Inhale the earth’s healing Qi and pull it upward into the body by arching
your lower back to shift your weight to the back of both feet and straighten
your legs. Repeat the movement three times.
- Relax your palms, circle the fingers (palms up) at the edge of your feet
from the inside to the outside to the heels picking up the earth’s Qi
along the way. Visualize holding a Qi ball in your palms as you move your middle
fingers upwards along the outside and
backside of the legs. Visualize the earth’s Qi traveling up through your bone marrow.
