The closing and opening in relation to descending and ascending Qi

You feel opening up when the Qi flows up on the left side of the torso. You feel closing down when the Qi flows down on the right side of the torso.

One can use these in daily life. For example when you feel a bit tired, closed down, sleepy, not feeling like doing anything, lazy you could change that mood opening up yourself by stimulating the left side up Qiflow.

Same goes for when you are overexcited, ecstatic, busy all day long, doing all sorts of activities you can close down by stimulating the right side down Qiflow.
