I will describe the main principle behind each movement.

If you touch water’s surface, rings will begin to form on it. This image applies to the first hip movement we do. Begin by doing the hip rotations at low amplitude, and with every rotation the circles get larger and larger until they reach their maximum radius. Then do the opposite —decrease the radius until you come back to the starting point.

Continue the hip rotations and start turning around your axis. Take it slowly at first so that your head doesn’t start spinning. Now imagine that you are a chamomile flower. Your body is the flower’s centre, and your hips trace its petals with circular movements. Each movement starts from the centre of your stomach; your hip draws a circle and comes back to its starting point. Place your hands on your kidney area. Breathe freely, feel relaxed and happy… Don’t forget to smile!

,

After each hip movement your body rotates slightly so that when you complete the eighth circular hip movement your whole body will have rotated fully around its axis and come back to the starting point. That’s one chamomile flower drawn. Carry on drawing as many as you feel like.

The figure of eight is a sign of life and infinity. You can surround your energy field with these symbols, making various movements. Draw figures of eight with your hips at different heights making sure your knees are involved in the movement. Draw vertical, horizontal and diagonal figures of eight in the air with your arms and hands.

Let’s begin with a horizontal figure of eight. Trace it before you with your left hand as shown on the photographs.

It’s not just your arm alone which draws the horizontal figures of eight; your whole body is part of the movement and follows your arm.

Try drawing the figure of eight with your other arm, then with both arms together, and one after the other. You can add gentle hip spirals to accompany your arm movements. Run wild with your imagination!

Go into squatting position and begin to slowly rise with each arm movement. This is a good exercise for your legs.

Vertical figure of eight. Now draw a vertical figure of eight with your body following the movement of your arm.

Change arms.

Draw figures of eight with both arms at the same time and then figures of eight in opposite directions – one arm draws a figure of eight going down while the other draws a figure of eight going up.
