Painting the Rainbow Exercise in Chi Gong

Video Transcript

"Hi, I'm Jan Kain and I'm back with another Chi Gong exercise. This one is called Painting a rainbow and we're going to be working a lot of spine and waist rotation. Again, starting in neutral, knees soft, abdomen pulled in tight, arms down by your side. You're going to take a deep breath in and you start to move both your arms over towards the right side, palms are going to face forward, turning the spine and the waist, and coming down back to the other side. And, again, nice and smooth. So this is all about moving your spine and your waist and just imagine that you're tracing a rainbow. So you can do it to one side, come back in neutral, and then go to the other side. We always want to make sure we work both sides evenly, and turn. Again, make sure you keep your knees soft and your abdomen pulled in tight to protect your back. Again, moving very smooth, very, very graceful, and just feeling that sense of calm and relaxation. Again, you can do this standing or seated. Any time you want to feel both relaxed and energized."
