If original Qi makes the whole body tremble violently, immediately stop it
with your mind and take a walk.
Do it again the next day. If you feel uncomfortable or painful in some areas of
your body because of their past ailments, try to bear it. This is the reaction
of the ailing areas to the activation of Qi. The discomfort of the ailing
areas will gradually decrease and disappear.
