Starting position: From a normal standing position, place your right leg back one step.

1. Inhale twice with two half-steps, left hand’s Laogong point in front of dantien:

Place your left hand’s Laogong point in front of your dantien. Keep the right arm hanging at your side. Move your right leg even with the left and pause, resting it on the ball of the foot. While the leg is moving, inhale halfway and pause the breath and foot briefly. Then take another half-step forward with the right leg, filling your lungs as you do. Pause briefly and hold your breath. Keep your left palm in front of your dantien.

2. Exhale with one full step and switch arms:

Now take the next step, a full step, with your left leg, landing your foot normally, ahead of the right. Exhale as you step. As you move your leg, switch your arms easily and normally, placing your right hand in front of your dantien, and the left arm by your side.

3. Inhale twice with two half-steps, right hand’s Laogong point in front of dantien:

Move your right leg even with the left and pause, resting it on the ball of the foot. While the leg is moving, inhale halfway and pause the breath and foot briefly. Then take another half-step forward with the right leg, filling your lungs as you do. Pause and hold your breath. Keep your right palm in front of your dantien.

4. Exhale with one full step and switch arms:

Now take the next step, a full step, with your left leg, landing your foot normally, ahead of the right. Exhale as you step. As you move your leg, switch your arms easily and normally, placing your left hand in front of your dantien, and the right arm by your side.

Continue this ( 1 through 4 ) in a gentle easy rhythm. You will find it easier as you practice. You may walk in a slow, medium or fast speed. You may walk for some time; hours even. About 1/2 way through your walk, switch legs, doing the half-step step with the left leg.

Practice this for up to 2 hours a day.

Guo Lin Gong:

Three breathing and three openings and closings

Stand straight with arms relaxed. Inhale through your nose and exhale through your mouth three times. Bring your hands, palms facing each other, in front of your dantien. Then imagine there is an energy field between the hands. When inhaling, imagine the energy field expands and pushes your hands apart. When exhaling, imagine the energy field collapses and your hands go back to the original position. Do this three times.

Rising and lowering with openings and closings

Stand with feet about one leg’s length apart with arms hanging down on both sides. Then hold your hands up in front of your chest, palms facing. Hold them apart about shoulders’ width. When inhaling, imagine there is an energy field between your hands and the energy pushes your hands apart. Bend your knees to lower the stance. When exhaling, imagine that the energy field collapses. The hands go back to the original position (down to your sides). Straighten your legs. Repeat three times.

Next take one step forward with your right foot. Hold your hands up in front of your chest at shoulders’ width apart, palms facing. When inhaling, imagine there is an energy field between your hands and the energy pushes the hands apart. When exhaling, imagine that the energy field collapses; drop your hands and bend the knees. Repeat three times.

Next take one step forward with your left foot. Hold your hands up in front of your chest at shoulders’ width apart, palms facing.

Repeat three times.

Loosening the waist – Moving the arms and waist 

Stand with feet apart about shoulders’ width. Place the right hand over the point (Sea of Qi) at one and one-half inches below the navel. Place the left hand at the back with the back of the hand resting on the acupoint Shenshu. (Shenshu points are one and one-half inches on the left and the right from the acupoint Ming Men. When inhaling, raise the front arm (right arm) in the front of the body all the way over your head. Then exhale and lower the arm by continuing to move in a large curve to the back and end up at the right Shenshu. Repeat with the other arm. Repeat three times.

Turning with bow-arrow stance

Place both hands on your back with the backs of your hands resting on Shenshu points. Step forward with your left leg and bend your left knee until you cannot see your toes. The right leg is straight. The width of the stance is about one leg’s length. Hold the position for the duration of six or nine counts. Repeat with the other side. Repeat six times.
