Fig. 6—8 Dragon-mouth Hand Gesture
Essentials-. The four fingers should be stretched naturally and the thumb should be separated naturally from them and set facing them or only facing the index and middle finger as if a dragon keeping a ball in its mouth. The intensity of qi and force between the thumb and the four fingers is regulated by the gentle movement of the joints of the fingers.
Application-. This hand gesture is transformed from the qi-guiding method of the five-thunder-fingers. Qi is emitted from the five fingers and gathered together between the thumb and the four fingers. Linear, fixed, circular and cold and heat guidance of qi as well as guidance of qi of the Five Elements can be adopted, and qi is emitted by hand manipulations such as pushing, pulling, quivering, rotating and fixing with the fingertips of the therapist on or off the qi-receiving part. This hand gesture is often used to emit qi toward the needle inserted in the body of the patient or toward some special parts such as the fingers, ears, shoulders or a tumor or mass.
