These 2 simple exercises from Qigong are great ways to open up more flow in the spine, detox the organs and calm the mind. The first exercise is called
Knocking on the Door of Life. The Door of Life is an acupressure point between your Kidneys and directly opposite from the navel. It is considered the Gate of Destiny by the ancient Chinese and is where we received the spirit that flows through your body. By tapping the different areas of the torso you begin to detoxify the body of tension and stress.
The second exercise has a few names such as Water Swings, Water Waves or simply Swings. This is a more Yin version of the above exercise and helps to calm the mind, nerves and overall state of being. These two exercises are a wonderful complement of each other. First you clear out the tension and then you calm the mind and body.
