There are 1000’s of different qigong exercises, working on a myriad of approaches to promoting good health and allieviating ailments of various kinds. Some are static; sitting, standing or lying and many are dynamic vigorous routines. Here Franziska Rüscher of Austria provides us with a simple sequence of finger exercises which help to regulate the flow or qi energy through the body.
Our fingers are connected to our brain. So these finger-exercises promote flexibility in our fingers, connect the left and right hemisphere of our brain, produce flexibility in thinking and harmonise the energy flow to the internal organs.
