Choose any standing, sitting, lying and walking posture. The sitting posture is preferable. For novice it is not easy to master the essential points in walking posture therefore, it is advisable not to try it at the beginning.
Once the practice begins, please follow the following sequence:
1-1. Before going to practice, in the brain please have an idea "I want to practice" and then select the practice location (pay attention to the direction you face for beneficial to your practice). Well prepare everything for your practice.
1-2. Once the practice is under way, tell yourself: “I have started practice” and then concentrate on practice and get rid of all stray ideas, which keep disturbing my mind. Then from the head down to the center of two feet relax the entire body slowly and little by little (relax muscles and joints and every part of the body). When you visualize relaxing the entire body please do not get involved into the details as to how to relax one muscle, how to relax one joint, how to relax one piece of skin, how to relax each internal organ, etc. Only have an idea to relax the whole from top down and you would feel all muscles and joints begin to relax. Breathe naturally and let all things go naturally. Perform the relaxation sequence three times until you feel the body become light. Keep your posture and do not move.
1-3. Choose natural nasal inspiratory and expiratory breathing, mouth closed, eyes gently closed, tongue slightly curls to touch the upper palate.
1-4. Mind focused on the lower Dantian for 3-5 minutes.
1-5. Imagine you are widely high in the sky, all brilliance of the Sun, Moon and stars converge to form golden Qi, which continue to engulf your body, contain it and permeate the body---all your body is in the golden air.
1 - 6. Have normal breathing (i.e. when breathing in lower abdomen sticks out; when exhaling lower abdomen shrinks), naturally and gently. Then inhale and imagine to have a small opening at the top of the head, and from which the golden Qi, composed by the brilliance from sun, moon and stars, begin to be sucked in. Imagine, from the head down along the center of the body there is a straight-shaped hollow channels which connects this small opening with lower Dantian; when exhale, please imagine that the golden Qi begins to be absorbed by the lower Dantian. When exhale, the evil Qi begins to be released and it will descend along the two sides of the thigh down to feet center (Yongquan), and go out to penetrate deep into the center of the earth (Figure 1). Yes, when you inhale, please relax the whole body, and if you get accustomed with the process, please accompany a slight contraction of the anus during the inhalation (like to tolerate the stool, do not force too much).
1 - 7. Practice: Fully relax every parts of the body, the body static, as like fall into sleep, let the breathing in and out all by their own way; place your attention upon Lower Dantian, the attention is there but no observance is there for checking, feel ease and relaxed. Feel comfortable, calm and free of any disturbance from any distracting ideas, so quiet that it is like the still water with no wind in motion, so still there is only one full moon hanging high up with no clouds whatever, so tranquil realm of nothingness that all seems to extinguished forever.
Each time, practice for half an hour to 1 hour long before ending the practice. Attention here is the correct way for ending the practice because practitioners need to well arrange the Qi into Lower Dantian. Two hands overlap, left hand presses against the navel via Lao Gong (the center of palms), the right hand overlaps over the back of left hand (Figure 2), then with navel as center point gently move two hands clockwise in a circle, from left to right, from top to bottom, from inside to outside, altogether 18 ~ 36 times (Figure 3); and then replaced with anti-clockwise direction, from right to left; from the outside in, the gently rub the navel area for 18 to 36 loops (Figure 4). For women choose the opposite direction (Figures 5, 6).
