What if you could effectively de-stress yourself in just 2 minutes?
What if you could do it virtually anywhere, without any tools or special equipment?
And what if you could learn to do it right now?
Try the 2-Minute Drill as follows:
- Find a place where you can be undisturbed for 2 minutes.
- Perform Lifting The Sky 10-15 times, focusing on enjoying your breathing.
- Walk around briskly when you’re finished.
Let’s say you’re in the middle of a stressful day (in the middle of a stressful week). Even if you’ve learned the 15-Minute Routine, there’s no time for it. You need something NOW!
That’s where the 2-Minute Drill shines. Here’s a great goal for you: Do the 2-Minute Drill every day for 30 days. Once you make it a habit, once you learn to use this amazing tool, you’ll wonder how you ever got along without it.
For those who know the 15-Minute Routine, you’re going to skip most of it. No opening, no closing, no energy flow. Just do Lifting The Sky. That’s it.
For those who don’t yet know the 15-Minute Routine, the 2-Minute Drill is a great place to start. It’s not nearly as powerful, but it’s something, and it works wonders on stress.
There’s just one rule: Don’t do the 2-Minute Drill in a bathroom. I know that it’s convenient to sneak into the bathroom, but the energy in there isn’t good (big surprise). Go outside, or find a quiet corner, but skip the bathroom please.

Thanks for this inspiring article Sihing Anthony.
I read this article in the old web some time ago and it proved to be really useful to me. I wake up at 6:30 in the morning so it is quite difficult (most of the times) to dedicate 15 minutes to practice.
This inspiring technique makes me start the day in a different mood and moves my energy so I arrive work with a positive energy. Don’t underestimate this practice as it is really powerful even when short.
Brilliant post.
Sifu, thanks for the email with info to help me to stay Zen during the holidays. I’m going to pass it on to some of my family! Hope you guys have a great Thanksgiving.
This was excellent advice and works extremely well.
Hi Anthony Siheng,
Can you do this routine in the afternoon (11 am to 15 pm) or after you’ve made love to your beloved one? Also can I reduce the amount of repetitions of LTS? Thank you for your answers!
Kan
Yes, you can do it any time. And you can do fewer repetitions if you like. Try it out and see how you feel!
Dear Anthony siheng,
I find myself swaying everytime after I’ve done this drill. Should I gently think of my dantian or just walk straight away? Because I kind of feel little odd when I just walk straight away.
Try doing fewer reps of Lifting The Sky. But thinking of Dantian is also fine. Either way, you should feel good at the end, not “odd”.
Thank you for your reply!
Yes, I was walking straight away when my chi flow was still active, which most probably caused the uncomfortableness. I just think of my Dantian everytime when I finish the drill.
