Let's start the morning with opening the lungs and lubricating all the joints in the body. So we start this movement from the hips and the waist. We rock up and down with the hips and relaxing the arms to go back and forth. As we relax the arms to go back and forth, we can inhale a little deeper into the chest and opening the lungs, stretching the fascia layer around the lungs. inhale through the nose, and exhale through the mouth. It's gonna be very important to exhale through the mouth, to release and to awaken the body on the inhale.
Inhale through the nose of the breath and go deep into the back of the rib cage, the front of the rib cage and feel that this movement with the shoulder blade with the arms, actually opening the lung cavity a little deeper as you starting the day, so cultivate deep breathing here and let the upper body be very relaxed to the movement starts from the hips and the waist and the hands almost like a pendulum. As we breathe deeper into the chest, we feel this area open. Let's pause that movement slowly. And just close your eyes and feel the energy in the chest and the lungs. The front of the chest. What we're going to do next is we're going to knock with the with fists.
On the ribcage close to the sternum bone close to the chest bone. We're going to inhale from the nose and exhale from the mouth. Knock them to heart and smile into your heart beginning morning Whatever emotion we start feeling, or the breath that we start cultivating into, into the the first of the day, would carry us throughout the whole day. So when we inhale very deeply, that's how we start the day and the body would carry that energy forward. And the same with the smiling, smiling to the heart and feel the gratitude into your heart. And feel the energy you want to cultivate today.
What kind of feelings you would like to engage with today and that's very important for the morning, practice. Inhale very deeply from the mat from the nose, and exhale from the mouth. Take this opportunity, open the lungs, and clear any tension or stress from the heart, smiling to the heart and breathe into the center of the rib cage. And now we're gonna pause this movement and the next move It will be with the with our core. This movement is about energizing your digestive system as you start the day, and when go forward facing up, and you go back with the hand facing down, and the movement starts from the hips and the waist. And your mind is on the Dunton on the navel area, the area behind the navel.
So that would be very good for the wrist joint, the elbows, the shoulders, the knees and the ankle.

So you bring your mind into this area to your core. After you brought Energy here into the core, knock on the lower back. So you knocking right here on the lower back while breathing into the lower back and energizing the kidney.
Now as we open the breath in the chest and the lungs, we've seen Chinese medicine that the kidney grass the cheek, so we actually tap on the lower back and we breathe and bring all the tea that we cultivate here in the lung into the lower back. This is going to be a beginning sequence for the morning practice. And then you're going to relax the hands and knock across the girdle vessel. And so here in this movement, we are relaxing the arms. We let the spine be very flexible. The knees are slightly bent, they're relaxed, and your breath is going to the lower abdomen.
Lower back. So as you turn the hips, you feel as if the momentum in the arms ring the spine and puts your mind in the area in the lower back area and lower back.
