Shibashi 17 – Bouncing the ball as you step

Qigong is the mastery of mind, body movement and breath. This relaxing posture brings almost to a close this healthy routine that is for everyone.

Bring balance back into your life as you step slowly and carefully to the left and the right six times

Routine

Repeat six times on each side.

  1. Breathe in as you step by lifting your left foot and raising your right hand.
  2. Breathe out as you lower left foot and right hand gently.
  3. Repeat on the other side.

Tips

Lift each foot slowly, with a rolling motion starting with the heel, then the ball of foot and finally the toes. As you put each foot down on the earth again, make the first contact with the toes, then the ball of the foot and finally the heel.
