When under stress, qi (energy) tightens in your chest. This protective reaction is triggered by by events in our life or events in our memory.

Other ways to release stress in the chest include breathing and yogic techniques, massage, forceful crying, and upper body exercise. Expressive use of the hands stimulates the channels that nourish the chest, so that activities as varied as gardening, giving massage, swimming the breast stroke, and playing tennis can offer relief.
