Inspired by the video below, I’ve made some effective strides on ren and the whole abdominal region.  She instructs along the line of belly dancing … I modify the breathing towards a more Daoist orientation.   The tip: 1. Put your finger on any acupoint (indendation) along the abdominal section of ren (below the sternum and above the pubic bone).  Whether you place your finger firmly, lightly, or not quite touching at all - will emphasize physical ~ subtle engagement (all good).   2. Do a slow smooth inhale ~ exhale from the center at finger-level.  Basically, doing dan tien breathing at the level of the finger.  Slowly, so that the layers of tissues gently separate during the (inhale oops!) exhale, often including a gentle tug-pull from the inside at the acupoint.  Just 1 to several breaths, then…   3. Next acupoint, repeat 1&2.  All up n’ down.   I find that this extremely simple tip: - Helps to locate areas of the abdomen that are … unfamiliar, inarticulate, physically, and getting the sensitivity and muscular articulation online. - extraordinarily effective in activating acupoints along ren  - overlaps + complements other kinds of deep abdominal work   - Trunk
