Let's start the morning with opening the lungs and lubricating all the joints in the body. So we start these movements 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. In health for the nose, and exhale for the mouth. It's going to be very important to exit through the mouth to release and to awaken the body on the inhale.
Inhale through the nose to the breath and go deep into the back of the rib cage. The front of the rib cage and feel of this movement with a 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 so 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 gonna do next is we're gonna knock with the with fists. On the ribcage close to the sternum bone plus the chest bone. We're going to inhale from the nose and exhale from the mouth. Not from the 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 then 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'd 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 We'll be with the with our core.
This movement is about energizing your digestive system. As you start today, in one hand 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. Yeah, this movement starts from the hips in the waist and you bring your attention into the girdle vessel.
The belts channel, around your waistline. So you bring your mind into this area to your core. After you brought the Energy here into the core, knock on the lower back. So you're 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 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.
An extra from the mouth, and now your energy. And then when you starting this movement, you greet your body. So basically you're closing your eyes. And you put your mind in the girdle vessel in the area where the arms is tapping on, and you breathe into this area. And imagine that the breath that you breathing in is the breath of gratitude, of appreciation, and of greeting like in smile. So in the morning, you want to smile to your organs.
Yeah, the organs doing all this work for us. And we don't even need to do anything for them to do the work. But when we look inside and give appreciation, gratitude and love, they start to work better. Yeah. So it's kind of like a person, you have a co worker and you and you appraise them and you acknowledge them, they start to like you and work better for you. Yeah, in Dallas we say, as, as above, so below, so the energy principles are across the board.
So if we look inside, we start to cultivate our own energy inside. So give some love and gratitude and breathe. Think about the breath as the breath is sending the CI sending the energy of love into the digestive system. And we exhale from the mouth and the lower back and the The lumbar spine and we go a little up into the, into the ribcage and you breathe into the ribcage so we go a little higher. So we have different organs here we have the liver, the spleen, the stomach, the the gallbladder, the pancreas. One thing is important to mention is that if when you breathe in, you really expand the ribcage.
So you push the ribcage away using your breath. you increase the CI flow Yeah. So it's almost like you create a balloon you inhale and you really push the ribcage away the same thing you did with the stomach and the lower back. you increase the energy flow as you increase the internal pressure of the air. And that's a whole practice in Chinese medicine is very good for protecting the internal organs in Korea. buying more cheap flowing the body.
And then after that, you're going to go here to the chest and knock underneath the collarbone. And this area is about opening the lungs and releasing any stress or any emotional tension that you project into the day. So throughout this practice, we're going to inhale through the nose and exhale through the mouth. Release the energy and make the movement very full. So you feel like the momentum in the arms can go and wring the spine a little deeper. And especially when you're not here on the lungs, you want to accelerate all the way to try to do three installations that are taking the energy all the way out of the body.
And then what you noticed when you exhale all the way and the inhale becomes so much deeper. Do this for three or four times. Excellent all the way out. And inhale, feel the vital energy of the morning. This inner smile smiling to the internal organs. Yeah, this movement is a movement meditations that are important to distend we think about the breath is good energy and happy energy and smiling energy.
