As
with all routines:
-
Breathe
slowly, taking in the positive Gi.
-
Don't
try to think - don't try not to think.
-
Emphasise
quiet concentration on the actions.
-
Try
to be relaxed, graceful, and concentrated.
-
Concentrate on posture - not stiffly upright, but also not bent or
round-shouldered.
This
routine uses a lot of animal analogies, and this first movement suggests
a chicken, flapping its wings.
---------------------
-
Begin
the routine standing straight and relaxed with legs together, arms
and hands at your sides.
-
Raise
both arms to the front, with the hands limp at the wrists, facing
down, as the arms rise. At the same time, raise onto your toes, with
knees slightly bent. Breathe in.
-
Let
the arms slowly drop. Palms now face forwards, bent upwards from the
wrists. Come back onto the soles of the feet, knees still slightly
bent. Breathe out.
-
Raise
arms to the sides (up to shoulder high), with the hands limp at the
wrists, facing down. Raise onto your toes, with knees slightly bent.
Breathe in.
-
Let
the arms slowly drop. Palms now face to the sides, bent upwards from
the wrists. Come back onto the soles of the feet, knees still slightly
bent. Breathe out.
-
Repeat
4 times, slowly breathing in and out.
On the 4th repetition, keep your legs straight as you lower the arms.
