1. Always wait at least half an hour after eating before using the Chi Machine. Many people prefer to use it before breakfast and at night to assist deep sleep. Please use a room where you won't be disturbed - no phone or kids!. A hard floor with a carpet is best.

2. Place machine on floor (handle side away from you) and plug in. Put a towel over the ankle rests to cushion your ankle bones and/or use the ankle covers provided. Feet should hang past the ankle rests just enough so they will flop gently back and forth once machine is turned on. Arms loosely at your sides, palms down. Do not use a pillow under your head, as this hinders the machine's motion from reaching your head. People with severe knee problems may need to place a rolled towel under their knees although it's best not to do so, if possible.

3. Once timer is set, the footrest will begin to rock gently back and forth carrying your feet briskly from side to side. This movement will carry up through your legs and torso, and throughout your entire body; causing you to wiggle back and forth, just like a goldfish swimming in water. As it does this, your job is to relax and "surrender" as much as possible breathing in deeply to allow the machine to oxygenate your body.

Please Note: It is Important that when the machine stops, lay still for at least 30 seconds and breathe deeply. This is the time when the movement of the healing Chi energy is felt circulating throughout the body from foot to toe.

4. Begin with 5 minutes, at least twice a day (less if you have any major health problems} Increase gradually to 10-15 minutes or more (normal graduation should be increase by 1 minute each week), twice a day (more if you wish).

5. It is recommended to drink some water before and after using the machine to assist the lymph system to flush out.
