Relax and Heal Lower Back (5 minutes)｜Qigong Exercise

Open your palms, breathe in, deep.

Breathe out, slow.

You bring your mind back to the body.

One more time, open your palm, relax.

Breathe in.

Breathe out.

You feel your your ancestors (???), practice with you.

Okay, so we can do warming up.

Um, move your body to the left and to the right.

You can bend your knees a little bit.

One hand touch shoulders and then other hand touch your lower back, okay, like that.

Relax your waist and your hips.

Make a circle.

And we do reverse.

Remember when you move your body you're aware your breathing, but also to pay attention to the action of your moving with mindfulness, and feel happy right away, because you can move your body, right.

Someday you cannot move your back.

That's good.

Inhale, relax and exhale.

Invite my mind back to the body in the present moment.

And slowly when you practice like that you relax the whole body.

And you feel your two palms.

Okay the third movement, number three, we call the— our hand folded, body curving.

Hand folded, you holding together, and two thumbs you cross together, hand folded.

So when I breathe in I bend my head backward this way and then I leave my hands until the middle finger touch the centre of my, uh, eyebrows, right here.

Okay, like that, inhale, look up, and exhale, I move forward, two knees straight, and then I reach the ground, fingers will touch the ground.

Can you do it?

Mmhmm.

If you cannot do it, it's okay.

You touch, uh, stretch as far as you can, okay, but you keep your knees straight, your legs straight.

So, inhale, up.

Bend in the back.

And exhale, move forward.

Slowly, breathe in, up.

You can bend back further your neck.

And slowly breathe out, you can bend further and you can touch the ground.

So this movement can help you to relax your lower back, you knees.

Inhale.

Exhale.

In.

Out.

Slower.
