Pumping Techniques: a strong treatment

These techniques are very good for bringing energy to the lower hara. This area becomes weak from excessive sitting, lack of walking, and lack of other leg movements. Lower hara weakness will cause poor elimination, organ stagnation, and stiffness in the hips, and will also contribute to sexual and urinary weakness.

Using these pumping techniques creates powerful stimulation in the body. Because it increases circulation and chi in such a strong way, do not use under the following conditions:

• heavy menstrual bleeding
• pregnancy
• Crone's disease or diverticulitis
