Holding the Belly

1. From the previous position, gently lower the arms.
2. Breathe in and bring the forearms round to the front, palms facing you, as if you are holding a small balloon against your stomach, just below the navel. The elbows should be slightly out.
3. Hold the position for 2 minutes.

This position combined with “Holding Up a Single Hand” and “Looking Back Like a Cow Gazing at the Moon” is used to treat those who suffer from high blood pressure.

When combined with “Holding a Balloon” and “Shaking the Body” it is used for those who are prone to depression and anxiety.
