Basic Instructions: Assume the Shaolin Pillar Pose and move your arms from your abdomen to your armpits in a circle. With the palms of both hands, the qi is collected and guided to the lower back. Then, touching and pressing on the kidney area with both hands, enter qi into the back dan tian (the gate of life – the center at the mingmen point – C.H.). The movement of qi is regulated by the concentration of consciousness. Repeat 9-18 times. Breathing should be natural

The same exercise can also be done in a different way. After assuming the “Shaolin Pillar” pose, straighten your back and lean against a wall or tree. Stretching and swinging the arms back and forth expands the chest, and gently tapping the back on the wall causes a shock sensation in the spine and promotes the circulation of qi and blood along the Du meridian and throughout the spinal region. Repeat 9-18 times

Healing effects: Exercise helps to improve the circulation of qi and blood in the back and along the Du meridian, strengthens the muscles of the back and lower back, tones the kidneys. If it is performed for a long time, the shoulders, back and lower back will become stronger, more muscular and stronger.
Indications for use: Back pain and lumbago, nerve palsy, for general health improvement, physical hardening and strengthening of the body.
