Daoyin Qigong: Respiratory (set 2)

Please note that these videos have been extracted from a set of full-length 55 minute classes (see the Yang 24-Step videos), and only cover this set of qigong exercises.

As well as promoting Lung function the exercises also work on the Kidney and Spleen.

The Lung channel is paired with the Large Intestine channel, so Large Intestine points are also stimulated in this form.

Lung points are worked by movements that stimulate the wrists, by opening the chest, and by pressing two acupuncture points, one on the thumb, and the other on the index finger.

Kidney points are worked by movements that stimulate the foot and ankle, and by pressing points on the back.

Spleen points are worked by movements that stimulate the foot and by pressing points on the legs.

Large Intestine points are worked by banging the sides of the hands together, and by pressing the acupuncture points on the index finger and the thumb.

Characteristic movements of the form are twisting of the hands and wrists, turning and bending of the body, and coming up on toes.
