Qi is the Chinese word for lifeforce, the inspiring force that flows through all the lives. The regular Western vision on movement, contains muscles, oxygen and blood. In the Chinese vision, there is another power behind this and that force is called qi. Qi moves through meridians. You could see the meridians as an energetic highway that runs throughout your body. Pain in the body, means that there is some sort of blockage going on. The blockage can be in an organ or in a meridian. Movement is a great way to get rid of blockages. So, below you will find an exercise to release a possible blockage in the heart meridian.
