Take a standing position in practice with body still and motionless but your mind clear of distractions and breath regulated. Points to remember: Keep joints slightly bent, crotch open, head erect, body upright, shoul-ders relaxed and elbows lowered so that you can enter a state of jing (still-ness). This position, seen of ten in health-keeping exercises and wushu practice, is used by various qigong schools as a basic method to build up qi.
