Step 1
Prepare with regular meditation first. Stand with your feet parallel about a shoulders' width apart. Relax your entire body and calm your mind.
-
Step 2
Inhale and exhale deeply, breathing from your diaphragm. Imagine fatigue and tension escaping as you exhale. Imagine fresh air and energy entering your body as you inhale.
-
Step 3
Bring up your spirit or awareness to your head by imagining a string pulling you up.
-
Step 4
Push your breathing lower until you reach an area about three inches below the navel and two inches inward (the tan tien, known as the center of your chi).
-
Step 5
Pay extra attention to both of your arms. Try to sense and locate bone structure while ignoring the surrounding muscles. As you inhale imagine your breath forces the bone to condense inward toward the bone marrow.
-
Step 6
Repeat the breathing with the focus on your arms many times until you begin to experience unusual feelings around your arms, such as tingling, trembling or other sensations.
-
Step 7
Expand your focus. After condensing breathing in both arms, apply the same technique to other areas of the body: head, legs and so on.
