intensity using a step-by-step approach to get into positions. Intensity and duration can be
gradually increased to achieve increased effectiveness.

 La-Jin Frequently Asked Questions

What are the common physical responses brought by La-Jin?

Type 1:
Pain, numbness, sore, swelling, itchiness and yawning are some of the natural responses you may
experience once you practice La-Jin and Pai-Da.

These physical responses according to Chinese Medicine Science, it is called Qi Chong Bing Zao
which means that healthy Qi struggles with the sickness. To some extent, this is the darkness
before dawn breaks. The responses are a signal which tells you that the stagnated meridians are
now being dredged.

Type 2:
Erythema, rashes, blisters, dizziness, burping, hiccups, vertigo, headache, nausea, thick phlegm,
running nose, farting, extremely stinky excrement and urine.

All these responses are the symptoms of Qi Chong Bing Zao and detoxification reaction. When the
symptoms appear, you should go on doing La-Jin and Pai-Da. After inner self-clearing and
detoxification, the body condition will gradually recover, and your health will get improved. Continue
La-Jin and Pai-Da even after these responses subside, adjusting to lower levels of intensity and
shorter duration should that be your wish.

How long does it take to La-Jin in reclining position?

La-Jin Therapy
There is no fixed time duration of La-Jin but 10-40 minutes for each leg is recommended. This is
however, dependant on individual limits hence serve only as a reference. But the general rule of
thumb is the longer the La-Jin, the better the effects and health benefit.

1. Those with weaker body constitutions or suffer from medical conditions will find difficulty in
straightening the raised leg. They will also find it difficult to keep the other foot on the ground,
while some will feel intense pain as soon as they get into position. In these cases, it is important
to take it step-by-step and increase intensity and duration at a slow pace.

2. Those who practice yoga or dance will be more agile hence it is recommended to extend the
duration of this stretch to 30-40 minutes. They may experience pain, numbness, burping,
hiccups, more sweating and increase in wind and excrement. Various chronic conditions such
as insomnia, constipation, renal weakness, conditions of the heart, brain and ventricular will
gradually subside.

Cautions for in La-Jin

1. One should wear long sleeved shirts and pants when doing La-Jin. Avoid chilled air from air
conditioner because your pores will open during La-Jin which might make you catch cold.

2. If it is difficult for you to practice La-Jin in reclining position, you may slightly bent your knees to
ease your pain, but do remember to draw your knees back when landing them on the ground to
avoid bowlegs.

3. Those of advanced age, patients of hypertension, cardiac diseases or other patients with weak
body condition will definitely feel pain during La-Jin. Enduring this pain usually brings on
increased heartbeat and blood pressure. When this happens, put a small pillow under your
head to raise it slightly and avoid blood from surging to the brain. Intensity and duration of
stretching should start at lower levels and gradually increase to higher levels.

4. If you find your hands or feet feeling numb, or if you have symptoms such as cold sweat or blue
in the face (called hyperventilation syndrome in western medicine), you should cover your
mouth and nose with a paper or plastic bag to create a closed system. The symptoms will
disappear in about five minutes.

 How to Pai-Da in a proper way?
1. Pat and Slap attentively: concentration and faith will increase the positive energy in your body.
Distracting thoughts could bring negative effects.
2. Pat and Slap with power: a painful slap signifies you have done it correctly, with every painful
slap your ailments will gradually be reduced.
3. Pat and Slap with your mind: when slapping the skin, you can imagine that you are injecting
fresh Qi into the body and bringing out the turbid Qi out.
4. Make good use of your palm and fingers: use your palm for large surfaces and use your
fingers for smaller surfaces such as the back of your knee, where you need to flex your wrist to
slap those hard to reach places.
5. Pat and Slap with strength, as long as you can endure the pain: slapping may feel very
painful in the beginning but the pain usually subsides once you carry on for more than two
minutes.
6. Better recite or chant scriptures when carrying out Pai-Da: reciting scriptures will bring
better result; you may choose your favourite scriptures.
7. When slapping is too noisy and disturbs others, use your fist to the same effect.

Basic principles of Pai-Da: High intensity + long duration + high frequency = speedy
improvement; Less intensity + short duration + low frequency =
slow improvement; No Pai-Da = no improvement.

Principles of Sha Treatment: Sha, i.e. poisonous blood, is the colourful thing under the skin after

Pai-Da Therapy
Pai-Da. When Sha appears, self-healing is working. So, continue
the intensity of Pai-Da after the Sha until it subsides.

The time length and frequency of Pai-Da

1. Pai-Da can be done at any time of day so make a habit of doing it every day, once every
morning, afternoon and night.
2. Those without major health conditions can carry out Pai-Da of key areas: head, shoulders,
knees, armpits and elbows for 1-5 minutes each time, 1-2 times every day, or up to as many
times as they wish.
3. Those with stiffness or problems in specific areas can in addition to key areas, increase Pai-Da
duration at problem areas to 5-30 minutes, 1-3 times every day or up to as many times as they
can.
4. Those with health problems should in addition to key areas, focus on Pai-Da around problem
area for 30 minutes or more. For example those with knee troubles, frozen shoulder, neck and
shoulder stiffness, headache and insomnia should slap key areas and then focus on Pai-Da
problem areas.
5. Those who have difficulty moving arms, shoulders or legs or diagnosed with serious medical
conditions such as psoriasis, heart problems, hypertension, diabetes and cancer etc, should
carry out Pai-Da from head to toe and around afflicted organs for one hour and above. Carry out
1-3 times daily until conditions are improved/ cured, after which duration and frequency can be
reduced.
6. Reaction from Pai-Da such as Sha may stop occurring after some time, however, it is important
to continue Pai-Da even after they stop, to continue the cleansing of vital energy channels in
order to achieve good health.
7. Similar to La-Jin, there is no set standard in the intensity and duration of Pai-Da, it is dependent
on individual preference and limits and is suitable for everyone, good health or otherwise.
8. If time is a constraint, Pai-Da can be carried out in shorter durations but in increased frequency.

 A Few Things to Note About Pai-Da
1. Avoid directing the fan or air condition at yourself during Pai-Da so as not to catch the cold and
chills via your open pores.
2. Drink warm water before and after practising slapping. Those of weak body constitution should
drink a warm soup of ginger and jujube. In addition to staying hydrated, this will also prevent
dizziness, tiredness and aid the bodys metabolic process.
3. Avoid showering or taking a bath within one hour of Pai-Da. After one hour, be sure to shower
or bathe with warm water and not cold water. On a cold day, it is best to avoid showering after
Pai-Da.
4. For those with skin ailments such as psoriasis, Pai-Da in high intensity and for long durations is
recommended for best effect. Secretion of a certain liquid is a sign of effectiveness so it is
important to continue Pai-Da. However, do not pat and slap onto areas where there are open
wounds.
5. Pai-Da for those with diabetes, varicose veins and edema in the legs: the skin of diabetic
patients have less tolerance levels for slapping so slap with less intensity, taking it step-by-step.
Those with varicose veins and edema in the legs should practice slapping upwards from the
lower legs to improve blood circulation.
6. When Sha occurs as a reaction, it is important to continue practicing Pai-Da to speed up the
elimination of toxins from the body, in turn eliminating the rashes in a shorter time. Reactions
such as rashes usually subside after a few days this is normally so for those with good body
constitution such as children, young and healthy people. Those of advanced age and with
serious medical conditions will usually experience reactions for a longer period of time.

Pai-Da Therapy
I have a health condition, which Body Part should I Slap?

It is recommended that no matter what your health condition, start by Pai-Da the key areas of head,
shoulders, armpits, knees and elbows.

Additional problem areas can be added accordingly once you have completed Pai-Da the key areas.
Pai-Da additional areas such as elbow joints, knee joints, arms, and legs for 15 minutes and more
will provide even better results.

When Pai-Da elbow and knee joints, be sure to slap front back and all around.

When Pai-Da upper arms, place one hand on knee and slap upper arm using other hand.

When Pai-Da legs, be sure to slap upper and lower legs, inner and outer thighs.

After carrying out these fundamentals, find your focus areas based on individual health conditions:

1. Conditions of the head and diseases of the five senses such as face paralysis, headache,
dizziness/vertigo, cold, ventricular diseases, effects of stroke, insomnia etc carry out Pai-Da
on head and face.
2. Conditions of the neck, shoulders and various joint problems such as neck and shoulder
stiffness, inflammation of the joints, arthritis, conditions of the cervical vertebrae carry out
Pai-Da on joint areas of shoulders, elbows, wrists, hips, ankles, knees etc. Those who do not
have the necessary strength for Pai-Da can also get assistance as these areas are far from vital
organs and require high intensity for best results.
3. Conditions of the heart, lungs, mammary and thyroid glands slap at inner wrist joints, armpits,
below the clavicle/ collarbone and the area around it.
4. Various gynaecological conditions such as ovarian cysts, cervical tumours, fibroids,
endometriosis; mens conditions such as prostate gland diseases, impotence, early ejaculation;
conditions of the productive and urine secretion systems etc carry out Pai-Da on the base of
your thigh. There is a concentration of toxins as well as vital energy, veins, nerves and lymph
nodes in this area. Also carry out Pai-Da at the inner thighs, navel and lower legs.

 5. For old injuries like sprains, twists and sports injuries etc slap afflicted areas, scarred areas

6. Various itch conditions slap afflicted areas and inner wrist joints, knee joints, stand and slap
both sides of thighs.
7. Those with piles, constipation, water retention, gastro-intestinal problems slap with high
intensity at navel area, all around knees, inner thighs, base of thigh, fat areas, for long
durations. You can also use your fist in these areas. Treating the base of the leg with the hand
in a chopping motion is another suitable technique as it is strong in intensity yet does not incur
much noise.
8. Acute illnesses can be treated by Pai-Da vital energy and pressure points, as per the pressure
points used in acupuncture. For example, conditions such as acute gastric and bloating can be
treated by Pai-Da the feet, while acute heart problems and drunkenness can be treated by
Pai-Da the inside of elbows etc.
9. All Pai-Da methods can be used in combination with La-Jin for better results.
