Mnemonic


[xi-] Xena is in [2] inside the [-_] house, sitting on a yoga mat. She is practicing an ancient warrior 息 breathing technique. She breaths in deeply, then out intensely, all through her 自 nose. She does not know the strength of her own 息 breath, and accidentally 息 breathes outward so intensely that her 心 heart comes up through her 自 nose and plops on the yoga mat.
