Move energy outwards from the centre of the body as you release any physical tension or worries held in the chest. From a Traditional Chinese Medicine perspective, this routine strengthens the heart and associated physical and emotional states. This includes a "busy mind" at night and repetitive thoughts. You will notice a change in mood, energy and mental focus after doing this practice regularly. Meridians affected include the Heart, Lung, Liver, Gallbladder and Pericardium. A lovely balance of yin and yang exercises and as well as the popular "Swimming Dragon!"
