Technique of Ho Sha（補寫）
The diagram is presented as general guidance on how the healthy qi flows throughout the entire body.
The picture on the left illustrates that the Qi rises on the back and descends on the front side. So you do Nagashi on the back side upward, with more emphasis on nourishing (at a deep angle); on the front side you stroke downward with more emphasis on releasing (at a shallow angle). This comes from the concept of the so-called ‘Microcosmic orbit’ in Taoism and Qi Gong tradition.
The central picture indicates you should release more in the upper half of the body, and nourish more in the lower half.
The picture on the right shows the rule of ‘nourish the core; release the exterior’. The core includes the area around the abdomen, both on the back and the front side, and the medial side of the legs, especially the inner thighs.
To nourish, use a deeper, perpendicular angle against the surface, and stroke slowly or perform Ho -clockwise rotation. To release, use a shallower angle and direct Qi outward, or perform Sha.
