2nd step in physical order - Qi Gong

The 2nd step is Mutable-Air. This relates to Bladder meridian - brain and nervous system.

In the first step of Fixed-earth, the body slumped into its weight. The body has no movement, it looks lifeless.

In the second step, your breathing begins. The breathing is easy and relaxed. Air enters the body. You watch it go through the nose or mouth and feel it go into the lungs. Then you move with the breath around your body with your awareness of the physical body. You are traveling along the nervous system.

The breath opens up the mass of the body; shows pathways through the mass. Move with your breath around the body from head to toe. Your breathing may even be imperceptible. This is all done in a subdued manner because your body is still slumped into its own mass..

Even as you progress through the order in this series of movements for the physical body, you can always come back to these first two steps in order to reconnect to the body.

Note to acupuncturists: You may want to breath in through the Bladder 1 point and follow the breath through the meridian going from the brain along the spine out to all parts of the body.
