Stand with feet shoulder width
apart, tongue touching the roof of the mouth, begin this exercise by turning at the waist
allowing your arms to move with the upper part of your body like that of a ragdoll. Turn
from one side to the other at whatever pace you are comfortable allowing your arms to slap
wherever they land; as you begin, your arms will slap you at approximately hip level, and
as you gain momentum they will begin to slap higher around the waist. Guide your arms to
gradually raise a bit at a time eventually slapping yourself in the shoulder and behind
your shoulders. Then work your way down again. Next using a fist or open hand, slap
yourself in the pelvic area approximately 25 times, this releases stagnant chi in the
pelvic area - good for women who missed a period or who have been without one in a while
and men who have issues related to prostate. From there slap yourself at the top and
inside of your thighs and work your way down to your ankles then work yourself back up the
sides of your legs, your buttocks, up to your kidneys and back around to the front. Slap
yourself up the front of your chest and then over to your left arm, down the inside of
your arm to the wrist turning the wrist around and working your way back up the outside of
the arm to the under-arm. The under-arm is the least touched part of the body so stay
there a while and feel the chi release, this is the gallbladder and spleen channels. Once
you are done one side work your way over to the other side of your body, repeating the
same slapping movement on your right side. Now back to the pelvic abdominal area and work
both your hands slapping their way to the back - the kidney area, stay there a while. Pain
or blockages indicate stagnant chi, work it out.
