Heaven is yang and earth is yin. Live in between and you can absorb qi from both of them and get it to flow in the five zang organs and limber up your muscles and joints.

Stand at ease with feet shoulder-width apart and hands clenched. Bend over slowly and push fists down as much as possible before straight-ening up slowly and raising fists overhead. Inhale before you bend over and hold breath when you take a bending position, and exhale when you straighten out. Return to the starting position and repeat the whole pro-cess nine times.

With muscles and joints limbered up and qi and blood flowing smoothly, you can cure yourself of lumbago, chest tightness, dyspnea and arthrosis.

Taking a Glance at Flowers on Horseback

Stand at ease with right foot in front and arms hanging at sides. Stretch out arms to sides with right hand in front as if propping up some-thing. Look at right hand with body turned back slightly before returning to the starting position. Inhale whilst turning body back but exhale whilst returning to the starting position. Repeat the whole process nine times on each side.

This exercise is effective for dysentery.

Wuqinxi ( 1 ) -- Tiger Form

Stand with hands clenched at sides and feet shoulder-width apart. With bated breath, lower head and push fists forward like a hungry tiger pouncing upon its prey. While keeping breath, imagine you are holding a heavy object with hands and then lifting it without much difficulty. Inhale deeply and direct qi down to abdomen whilst straightening up and you will feel qi flowing throughout body. Return to the starting position and repeat the whole process 32 times.
