standing up with various movements involving your hands and legs to also lubricate your joints. The movements are so subtle and relaxing that you will feel like you came back from a vacation! This revitalizes your whole body and some will feel recharged simply performing 10-20 minutes with this exercise. For starters, try this relaxing and meditative routine that is a good warm up before beginning a Qi Gong routine. Try sitting out 1/3 of your chair but if you aren't able due to back issues you can fully sit to the back of your chair. Have your feet at shoulder width apart and parallel to one another. Place your hands on your legs near your knees with your palms facing up. Relax your arms, shoulders, and hands. Sit with your back straight. Your head is at chin level and chin is slightly in. You will now close your mouth and breathe in with your nose and breathe out with your nose. Make sure your tongue is also sitting at the top of your palate. The reason is that it is similar to a circuit board and you need continuous flow or circulation going throughout your whole body and back to the original point. Now, just close your eyes and relax your whole body for a few minutes. Don't think of anything you need to get done during the day or future projects, the argument you had with someone, and just be in the moment. After a few minutes of breathing in and out with your nose slowly, you will now begin to focus each particular part of your body. For example, you'll begin with the head and you can say this aloud to your self whispering "breathe in" and as you breathe out you will say the word Soong which means relax in Chinese. This word Soong gives a soothing resonating or vibrational feeling from your head all the way down to your toes. Try to deliberately say the word Soong a little bit longer if you can. Review below on the areas of your body you will relax in the proper sequence I've addressed. 1. Relax your head => say to yourself "breathe in" as you are breathing in, and as you are breathing out you will say the word Soong. 2. Relax your shoulders => say to yourself "breathe in" as you are breathing in, and as you are breathing out you will say the word Soong. 3. Relax your chest=> say to yourself "breathe in" as you are breathing in, and as you are breathing out you will say the word Soong. 4. Relax your abdomen=>say to yourself "breathe in" as you are breathing in, and as you are breathing out you will say the word Soong. 5. Relax your whole back=>
