qigung

Getting Qi to Dantien is a fundamental step of Qi Gung. It is important because, according to Master Chang, our Yuan Qi dispersed from our Dantien as our umbilical cord was cut after our birth.

There are many way to get our Qi back to it, such as rubbing your underbelly clockwise and counterclockwise alternatively. As you're rubbing it, try to feel that you are absorbing the heat from your palms to your Dantien through breathing. Note that your palms must be warm, if they are not, rub your hands first to get Qi in your palms.

This is especially helpful for women suffering from uncomfortableness during period because the position of Dantien happens to be uterus.
