Part 6: Boosting Immunity Movement
Function: Building immunity
This movement incorporates 3 types of breathing to guide the movement.
It helps calm our nervous system and clear our worries bringing you to a relaxed state with a quiet mind.
If you can maintain long deep breathing, and relax your body, by keeping oneself “nervous and
effortless” free and only using your mind to guide the movement, you will get amazing positive
results.
3 different types of breathing:
1. Start by breathing out through the mouth and breathe in through the nose.
2. Normal natural breathing through the nose with the tongue touching the upper palate.
3. Then breathing out, breathing in and natural breathing.
Two Treatment methods
A. Supplementing method-
breathe out first then breathe in. This is for ordinary practice for preventing illness and strengthening our body
B. Reducing method-
breathe in first then breathe out. Most of the time, this breathing method is used for addressing cancer and chronic/ critical illnesses.
To start, place legs wider than shoulder width, arms hanging down by the sides.
The breathing method in this movement is different from other parts; please pay attention to the
following details.
1. Place left palm over the dantien, right palm above left palm and line up the labour palace meridian and dantien.
For women place the right hand over the left palm and for men place the left palm over the right palm. Focus the mind on the dantien.
Make sure to connect the palms with the labour palace meridian points and line up with the dantien
(just below the belly button).
2. Breathe out through the mouth while squatting down as low as you can like sitting on an empty chair with straight back and the knees bent. While breathing out, expand the dantien and move the overlapping hands outwards (6 inches or more) as a reminder to expand your dantien.
3. Keep in the squatting posture, then place the overlapping hands back onto the dantien.
Place the tip of your tongue to lightly touch the upper palate behind the upper front teeth.
Take a deep gentle breath through the nose while tucking in the tummy with some compression from both hands.
4. Rise up slowly while breathing out through the NOSE naturally.
Expand your dantien while moving the overlapping hands outwards (6 inches or more) as a reminder to expand the dantien.
5. Take 3 more deep breaths, “ in and out through the nose”.
While breathing in, compress the tummy with your overlapping hands coming in to cover the dantien and while breathing out, move your overlapping hands 6 inches or more away from the tummy.
While breathing in, you can close your eyes and imagine the fragrance of fresh flowers like roses penetrating through your heart and spleen.
6. Repeat 3, 6 or 9 times.
7. The following movement uses normal breathing, in and out through the NOSE.
Bring both palms in front of sternum area, the fingers pointing forward the wrists about 9 inches to 1ft in front of the sternum, the elbows slightly bent.
Turn the palms flat, back-to-back and close almost touching and push outward, separating the palms away slowly until more or less in line with the shoulders, the elbows still slightly bent.
While doing this, think of lovers not wanting to separate.
All the above performed in a relaxed state using natural breathing through the nose.
8. Then rotate the wrists and turn the palms inwards until they are facing each other, moving the arms and palms towards each other, bring them close together almost touching.
While doing this, imagine the lovers reuniting with smiling faces and full of joy. This continuous movement implies their connection is continuous and never ends.
9. Let both hands drop. This movement will bring you a strong feeling of chi (sensation of yin yang) if you practice daily, the sensation will grow stronger, an indication of stronger chi circulation.
Think with positive thoughts while you are bringing the palms inward and outward. If you have a cancer tumour, visualize the tumour diminishing and disappearing.
Repeat 6 & 7 3, 6 or 9 times.
