SOME NOTES

• There is a female and male version :-
  
  • Female version – while moving hands away from chest imagine hands feeling and moving through some good quality of which you would like to have more; while moving hands towards chest imagine they are gathering and bringing to your chest the good quality.
  • Male version – while moving hands away from chest imagine hands pushing against world to create more space for “me”; while moving hands towards chest imagine hands feeling and enjoying the extra space you have made available to yourself.
• Benefits/effects include: energising and warming (activates the abdominal area), absorbing and calming movements (that require and develop concentration, leaving little room for disturbing thoughts or distractions) and improve micro-circulation of many joints and muscles (by virtue of the smooth and gentle movements).
