introduction:

Lots of chi gong exercises have some sort of stretch where you circle your arms around in front of you - it helps chi flow. We’ve met several including ‘Turning like a flying wheel’ in Shibashi and as warm ups ‘Rainbow Circle’ or ‘Turning in a circle’. If you would like to learn more please visit shibashi introduction

The variations seem to be in the area of how far you stretch up and down and whether or not you bend your knees or raise your heels. Lots of different combinations for you to try out to keep the chi flowing!

It looks as though your arms are like the sails of an old fashioned wooden windmill first turning clockwise then turning anti clockwise in the wind.

Or you could imagine that your arms are like the hands of an old-fashioned dial clock following the path of the hours. First imagine starting from 12 thru 3:00 - 6:00 -- 9:00 to return to 12:00 – clockwise then the reverse – anti clockwise 12:00, 9:00, 6:00 3:00 to return to 12:00
