When breathing in Qi-Gong , it is usual for men to place their hands on the abdomen, with their lea hand under their right hand. However, women put their right hand under their left hand. In order to check whether this fact is valid, I examined 20 people with the Bi-Digital 0-Ring Test. I also examined the Qi aura, under the circumstance in which the physician was imagining as if he were (1) inhaling the air from the left hand and exhaling it from the right hand and (2) inhaling it from the right hand and exhaling it from the left hand. In our experiment, 10 men and 10 women were examined , each for 5 minutes In each case, it was found that stronger Qi(+) was observed when men put -their lea hand under their right hand than when they put their right hand under the left hand. In the case of women, the results were exactly the opposite. In order to send stronger Qi to their abdomen, it was proved to be better for men to put the lea hand under the right hand and for women to put the right hand under the lea hand. In the above examination (1), stronger Qi(+) aura was obtained on the right hand side, while weaker Qi(-) aura was obtained on the lea hand side and in (2) the results were opposite. Considering these facts, it is recommended for the people who are in Yin or weakness conformation to use the hand while the physician was imaging as if he were exhaling from the hand and to use the opposite hand for inflammation, etc.
