Five Animal Movements as Dynamic Healing Sounds by Michael Winn There are many different versions of the animal movements, since many chi kung movements are inspired by the graceful, effortless way animals move in nature. These can be done walking in a circle, reversing direction periodically for balance. Traditionally there are up to five movements for each animal; these are some that work well with the healing sounds. TIGER (metal/lungs) feel Courage, Integrity, Release Grief 1. Hisses as it prowls. Gather chi in palms as they rise up to chest on inhale, extend finger/claws out on exhale. Step left and right, eyes fierce, hissing lung sound, Clears lungs of trapped emotion, chi stagnation, depression. 2. Scares off the enemy. Standing, squat and rise 3 or 4 times as fingers claw the air in front, hissing “Hehhhch". Cross arms, count to three, exhale sharp "Ho!" as arms chop to sides. Clears lungs, strengthen spleen and kidneys. BEAR (water/kidneys) Feel Deep Wisdom Stir, Release Fear 1. Shakes the earth. Arms loose at sides, step forward, weight on ball of rear foot. Shake from the kidneys 3x. Take another step, repeat. Warms kidney yang (adrenals), loosens low back. Silent. 2. Tosses fear aside with ease. Step right foot forward, stretch forward with both arms on inhale, claw to left side and behind you, exhaling "Chuuu". Then left foot steps, release right. Clears fear. DEER (wood/liver) Feel Kindness, Release Anger 1. Prances thru the Green forest. Put hands to side of head like deer antlers. Step forward, whole body springs up as arms arc up and away, hissing "Shhhhh". Feel all tendons and joints open and close. CRANE (fire/heart) Feel Joyful & Serene, Release Self-Judgement 1. Crane Stands. Arms flap up and down. Silently focus on outside of arms. 2. Crane prepares to fly. Walk & flap arms. Inhale, feel chi on inside of arms, exhale Hahhh. 3. Crane flies. Lift knee and arms together. Feel chi up center of body to heart. Inhale Chuuu, exhale Hahhh, MONKEY (earth/spleen) Feel Balanced & Playful, Release Worry 1. Eats the Banana. Step forward, Draw all 10 fingers at navel level together and pull them up to mouth, lifting shoulders as inhale "Huu". Exhale "Hoooh" as hands & shoulders drop down. Other foot steps. Suck guts up to mouth with each movement to exercise digestive tract. 2. Looks Left and Right. Same movement up to mouth, then hands separate, one palm opens at side of face, other palm pushes down to side of waist. Activates yin and yang function of spleen/pancreas/stomach.
