Lift the sky with both hands
Effect: Opens the chest, deepens breathing, stretches the spine.
Exercise: Stand with your feet hip-width apart. Inhale and raise your hands in front of your body until they meet above your head—as if you were lifting the sky. Exhale and let your arms fall to your sides. Repeat the movement 6–8 times at your own breathing rhythm.

Rainbow swinging
Qigong exercise: “Waving the rainbow”
This small, gentle movement can have a big impact.
The Rainbow Swing exercise combines gentle stretching, breathing, and mindfulness. It works on several levels:
Physically:
· Strengthens the flanks and upper back
· Mobilizes the spine and supports an upright posture
It opens the chest and facilitates breathing and it releases
Tensions
Energetic & mental:
· Activates the flow of Qi and releases blockages in the meridians of
Liver & Gallbladder
· Through conscious breathing it promotes deep relaxation
· Increases general well-being and brings body & mind into
balance
This is how the exercise is carried out in practice:
· the “rainbow” is gently swung from one side to the other –
accompanied by weight shifting and deep abdominal breathing.
A movement that brings lightness , reduces stress and promotes inner clarity .
"Rainbow Swing" is part of a small series of Qigong exercises that specifically strengthen and relieve the back . Even performed on its own—at least three times or for as long as it feels good—the movement has a noticeable effect.
Maybe you'd like to try it today: Imagine you're holding a colorful rainbow in your hands - and letting it swing from side to side above your head.
