Stretch and Support the Sky

This movement is the perfect quick pick-me-up.  It gets your blood flowing while stretching your muscles and meridians (acupuncture "highways" or channels that conduct energy to and from different areas of your body). Do this especially if you sit in front of a computer all day and/or suffer from neck, shoulder, or wrist tension.  Stretching your arms upward gives your lungs more room to take bigger breaths, which means more oxygen to fuel your body's cells.
