One of the most important part of Ki exercises is the breathing. The breathing when doing Ki
exercises is done through the mouth instead of your nose. To breath in you it must be done by
sucking in the air and breathing out ward must be similar. The Breath comes out of the side of
your mouth instead of the front with your teeth clench.
The persons shoulder shouldn't move and they should breath using there lower abdomen. They
should breath in before the breath out. That method of breathing is done during all the exercises
and should be continued to they're finished. To build Ki energy using Ki exercises can be done
either sitting down, laying down, or standing up.
Some exercises help in development of Ki and the ability to sense Ki. You can gain Ki energy
from the sky, ground, walls, and plants. Some exercises can teach how to exchange energy with
other people, one or several others. They can also teach how to move another with out even
touching one another.(www.kienergy.net/kiexercises.html)
Ki energy expels toxins and other things that's bad for the body. People with strong Ki energy
don't get sick or injured as much as people with low energy. Chi energy is one of the most
important thing in life everyone should learn how to use and control it then the world would be
