Lifting hands up (awakening chi) is the first taichichuan exercise that we recommend and practice to all beginners and advanced practitioners.
Based on this exercise, all human movements can be derived. It is advisable to start each taichichuan (chikung) training this way. There are many ways in which you can lift your hands, but it is advisable to start with just one and gradually reveal all the ways.
We distinguish between male (yang) and female (yin) ways of lifting hands and their combinations (father, mother, son and daughter). Lifting hands is usually the main exercise of taichichuan to wake up the energy (chi).
Hands are one of the most important places in the human body where human consciousness is strongly localized and concentrated. For example, animals have the main organ of the sense of touch (hand) in their mouth.
Human consciousness is most localized in the area of the face, shoulders, arms, hands and breasts (I. psychosomatic quadrant of choleric temperament). Therefore, it is advisable to start the exercise process here and gradually transfer its quality to other parts of the body.
First of all, it is necessary to know what we want to train and develop from a psychosomatic point of view. When we find this out in the part most equipped with perception, this quality can be transferred, developed and practiced in the rest of your body.
The movement of the body can be performed along with the upward force (male), or downwardly opposite to the rising of the force upward (female).
Arm movements can be performed by pulling (female) or by pushing (male). In this way we achieve all possible combinations of this exercise.
