Preparing for the coming of Winter

Therapeutic exercise is part of the proactive approach to health found in the practice of TCM: Traditional Chinese Medicine. Winter is associated with the element of Water and the yin organ; the kidneys. Due to the fact the human body is made mostly of water, deficiency in Kidney Qi is typical in most people and tonifying it is a common part of most treatment protocols.
Qigong is a safe home self-treatment based on the same concepts used in Acupuncture and Tui-na massage.

Research kidney meridian. Bend over (which stimulates the kidneys located in the back) and lightly pat up (use palms or soft fist) along the legs to help break up blockages that cause Qi to stagnate from the root (Kidney-1 meridian point; Bubbling Well - ball of foot), through the legs, to the kidneys.

Using soft fists, often with the thumbs rolled inside, lightly tap the kidney area with the back of the hand, or the soft area created by inserting the thumb inside the fist to stimulate the kidneys.

Rub the palms together briskly to generate heat and apply to the kidney area of the back; massaging in a circular motion, while pressing inward toward the kidneys. Keeping cold out of the back is important in Winter.

In general, any bending forward and backward exercise stimulates the kidneys. Although, learn these exercises correctly so not to cause injury to the spine. Don't lift the butt and crush the lumbar vertebrae. Roll and tuck the tailbone under.

Sitting on a hard chair, cross the legs by placing the left ankle on top of the right knee. Relax, dropping the left knee downward, opening the hip joint. Make sure the right leg offers a stable upright support. Using the thumbs (one on top of the other) and the fingers wrapped around holding the foot, massage K-1 on the bottom of the left foot.
Repeat on the right side.
