[:en]1. When practicing Lajin outdoors, avoid wind and chills; when practicing it indoors, avoid direct wind from electric fans or air conditioners. Sweating during Lajin is beneficial, and it is NOT necessary to cool down deliberately. The waist and knees should never be exposed as the body is relaxed and pores are opened up during Lajin. It is best to wear long-sleeved shirts and trousers to stay warm, particularly when the air-con is on; otherwise, the cold may get in through the open pores, affect the joints and induce more diseases.

2. There is no fixed standard as to how long or how intense a Lajin session should be, which vary according to a person’s age and health condition. The overall principle is: for better and faster effect, stretch with more weights and for a longer time. For people who dance or practice yoga, or have a very flexible body, each leg may be stretched for 30-50 minutes or more.

3. If, in reclining posture, your sole cannot touch the ground, you can slightly move your lowered leg outward to ease the pain. But once it can touch the ground, move it inward until both legs are close together to avoid splay feet.

4. People with hypertension, heart disease, the frail, the elderly, and the critically ill should take it more slowly, as the pain induced in Lajin will increase the pulse and blood pressure. Even though these are normal reactions and signs of improvement, it is advisable to gradually increase duration and intensity. A small pillow may be used to prop up the head in order to avoid blood rushing to the brain.

5. If headache, dizziness, pale face, cold sweat, chest tightness, numb and cold limbs, rapid and irregular heartbeat, or other severe healing reactions appear during Lajin, stop for a while and slap heavily on the inner elbows and Neiguan acupoint near the wrists. The more pain is felt during this process, the more necessary it is to continue Paida. Go to Classroom – Downloads – Files to download Using PaidaLajin for Urgent Symptoms in your chosen language and refer to it.

6. Women can practice Lajin at any point of the menstrual cycle. Those suffering from menstrual pain will feel better if Lajin is practiced during the period.

7. Stay attentive when doing Lajin. When pain is felt at different parts of the body during Lajin, do some Paida as well. It will be greater healing effect. In particular, for those having difficulty in Lajin, slapping the joints, hands and feet can help relieve the pain felt during Lajin.[:zh]
