Dragon Rises to Heaven
In the Dragon Rises to Heaven set, we show that the world has been renewed and that humanity has become the dragon ascending to Heaven. This set involves gathering Ki in the hands, raising it up along the Governor Vessel and spine, and collecting it in the Geuk-chun points. This is the dragon ascending to Heaven and staying in the clouds.
Place the backs of your hands against your lower back, standing with your hips pulled forward, knees slightly bent, chest lifted, and shoulders pulled back.
Inhale using all of your lung capacity and raise the backs of your hands from your lower back, past your kidneys and ribs to your armpits.
Exhale, and as you do so, extend your wrists, lowering your hands slowly to your ribs. This whole process is one repetition. Repeat this set about three times, depending on your condition.
Points to Remember
Bring your nands to your elbows toward your, ana i*t your chest, opening it as muci as oossib e. Ti’s posture correctly aligns tne skeleton and nervous system, whicn transm’t energy from the brain to the internal organs along the spine and ribs, and facilitates the flow of Ki deep within the bones. Generally, the upper chest is tensed to strengthen heart and lung function.
Hold your breath with the backs of your hands at your armpits.
