Week 2 introduces you to brain sensitizing, an integrated mind-body training method that focuses on stimulating specific areas of the brain to awaken the senses, develop a keener sense of energy flow, and gain a greater awareness of the brain’s functioning. The goal of this method is to help you establish a connection between your mind and body through deep stretching, meditative breathing techniques, and energy awareness.

Your daily workout should be 35 minutes and include the following exercises:
- Jangsaeng Walking (30 minutes)
- Bounce ‘n’ Sweep (10 to 20 repetitions)
- Shoulder Rotations (6 forward rotations, 6 reverse rotations)

Bounce ‘n’ Sweep (Tension Release Exercise)
1. Stand with your feet shoulder width apart.
2. Place the backs of your fingertips beneath your armpits.
3. Quickly sweep down the sides of you body as you bend your knees slightly.
4. Repeat the movement 10 to 20 times in quick succession, creating a rhythmic, bouncing motion.

Shoulder Rotations
1. Put both hands on your shoulders and stretch your elbows forward.
2. Lift your elbows to shoulder height.
3. Make a large circular motion and rotate them slowly once.
