The Taoist Exercise
To overcome
insomnia or get natural sleep, perform this simple Chinese Taoist exercise:
- Lie on your back. Bend
both knees.
- Use both hands to pull
your knees towards your chest, and breathe naturally.
- Hold for one to two
minutes, and relax.
- Straighten your legs,
putting your arms and hands at your sides. Relax for one to two minutes.
- Take a deep breath, and
stretch both arms upwards above your head.
- Then, slowly bring your
hands down while you breathe out.
- Massage your body from
your chest to your abdomen for a few minutes.
- Bring both hands at your
sides, and relax.
- Repeat as necessary until
you feel drowsy and fall asleep.
This exercise is
good not just for insomnia, but also for your lower back pain, if it is performed
on a hard surface.
