Forums IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ Spring Forest Qigong In ending exercise: Patting the Body 2 questions

1) Is it cupped hands when doing the chest and stomach area?
2) My wife is doing this with me sometimes. She wants to know what about for females whe it comes to the chest area? Does that include the breasts? She is implying that that is at least uncomfortable, if not worse.

Again, I may need to just call the coaching to get the answers. And maybe that is why there is less activity in this forum: the coaching may have improved over the last 4 years. It may be that back in 2002-2004, the coaching staff may not have been as experienced or that may not have been enough people who had experience to really answer the questions. So it may have made this forum somewhat obsolete, except for the group healing list.

On the other hand, it is nice to discuss these things within a "community", virtual though it may be.

All the best

I can answer the cupped hands part. Yes, all patting is with cupped hands.

I have never heard Master Lin say not to cup the chest, for women. In fact, I have seen other women do the cupping during group meditations.

My advice, is to cup gently where it hurts. Meaning, don't hurt yourself.

Hopefully some of the women practitioners will share they experiences.

Or Shawn will share some of the wisdom he has access to.

You are perfection.
