Check out the first two qigong moves and the next two qigong moves. Here are two more moves to give you a full fifteen minute qigong routine.
Scooping the earth: stand with your feet wide and your toes turned outward. Rest the back of your left hand on your lower back. Extend your right arm parallel to the floor with your palm facing downward. Bend your right knee into a lunge and lean forward from your hips while you reach your right hand towards the floor. Shift your weight to the center, then to the left side as you scoop your arm across the floor. Inhale as you lift your upper body with your right arm still stretched to the left. Exhale as you bring your right arm across your body, back to starting position. Repeat six to nine times, then switch sides.
This one is my favorite so far. I wasn’t sure (as I was reading the instructions) how it would work out, but I just did it. I felt graceful and flowing and all that good stuff!
Push and pull: stand with your feet about hip-width apart. Have your arms at your sides with your elbows bent. Push your right arm forward (like you are stopping traffic, palm out) and pull your left arm backwards so your hand is at your hip, palm up. Now pull your right arm back and push your left arm forward. Move slowly and deliberately, and repeat six to nine times for each side.
Nice and easy — a good one to finish off with. Finish off your qigong routine by gently shaking out your arms, then come to stillness.
Come to stillness: stand with your feet about hip-width apart. Rest your right hand over your left hand, just below your navel. Stand in this position for as long as you like, breathing and feeling the energy flow through your body.
