Qigong for Winter; Nourishing the Water element Kidneys & Bladder part 2

Here's part 2 of my introduction to Winter Qigong for the Water element, focusing on nourishing our kidney and bladder energy.

In this 20-minute flow we stimulate our kidney meridian with some bouncing, activate the Microcosmic orbit with Crane neck / Turtle neck, and build strength in the bladder with Black Tiger Straightens its Waist from the 12 Rivers.

Also from the 12 Rivers (and 8 Brocades) we work a little more with the kidneys in Riding a Horse, Shooting a Bow and Arrow. and from the 18 moves of Wuji Hundun, we try 'Kūn' giving our kidneys an internal massage and building flexibility in the spine.

We try another flowing Wuji Hundun sequence and energy field cleanser 'Jian' using the sword fingers Qi lock (mudra) then warm ourselves us focusing on fire and the pericardium with Tūo (Snake arms.)

We conclude by moving through the whispered healing sound for the Kidneys 'Chooo' to help release fear and make room for peace and tranquility.
