Hi Nena:
I checked in the L2 booklet distributed during the course, and Master Lin says to hold the breasts by using the middle of the palms to 'touch' the nipples. I interpret this to mean keeping the palms 'on' the nipples and then move the palms inward 36X and then outward 36X keeping them on the nipples. After that exercise, you then 'hold' the breasts and lift them up gently and take a breath 3x. Hope that helps.
