Start
with a small step sideways. Look ahead with body relaxed. Lift your
left arm around the front of your face and hug the back of your head.
Lift the right hand to touch your back at the same time. Then clench
the right ear with the index and middle fingers of your left hand. Turn
the waist to the right and look at the left heel. Return to the
starting pose, lowering the left hand around your neck. Reverse this
movement. Inhale while lifting your arms and turning your waist.
Exhale while returning to the starting pose. Keep the body up straight
while looking back.
This
form is believed to relieve fatigue caused by holding a particular
position or being overcome by a certain mood for a long period of time.
The exercise helps to strengthen the muscles of the neck and around the
eye sockets. It also stimulates the central nervous system and prevents
cervical-vertebral fatigue.
