gendao Posted October 19, 2013 Lajin means to stretch your tendons and ligaments. There is a saying that stretching your Jin (tendons and ligaments) by one inch will extend your life by 10 years. One dies when one’s Jin degenerates completely. The various Lajin exercises help the circulation of Qi and blood throughout the body. Flexible Jin will lead to good health. Once Jin shrinks, the body will manifest various symptoms of ill health, such as neck stiffness and pain, back stiffness and pain, contraction or atrophy of muscles, inability to squat down, inability to extend or bend the elbow, etc. Thus, doing the Lajin exercises would also provide indications of ill health, sometimes at an early stage when Western medical techniques might not identify them yet.
