Ilchi Lee tells that another important benefit of Jung-Choong Breathing postures involves a core energy principle called “Water Up, Fire Down.” As the Dok-maek, or Governing Meridian, that runs along the back is opened through the postures, cool water energy from the kidneys flows up easily to the head. In turn, by opening the Im-maek, or Conception Meridian that runs down the front of the body, hot fire energy from the chest is carried down toward the abdomen. As a result, the healthy energy state known as “Water Up, Fire Down” is restored.
