The work begins with the Externals,
Stretching and turning the large muscle groups in the trunk, arms, and legs.
Muscles become more flexible, working smaller muscles, tendons, and ligaments.
Blood circulation improves, the lymphatic and digestive systems are stimulated.
Our ability to focus in a more relaxed manner relieves stress.
Strength is improved, flexibility is increased.
The work continues to the Internals.
Stretching/turning deepens, massaging internal organs, improving their process.
The internal organs connect to the meridians.
Energy is circulated through the meridians by massaging the internal organs.
Thus tendon changing exercises provide a framework to balance Yin and Yang.
Creating and promoting good health.
