    Closing Movement 5 - Qi Returns To The Origin

    Continue from Closing Movement 4. Relax your breath and muscles. Let your
    Shen and Qi settle.
    Spread your palms and extend them outward at shoulder height. Imagine that
    both your wrists are connected by a rubber band and your hands are
    magnetically attracted to each other. Keep your Mind on your Qi sensations.
    Relax your shoulders and sink your elbows.
    Your hands and arms form a curved line. Imagine you are pushing a ball down
    at shoulder level.

    Draw Qi to the Middle Dantian.


    Extend your hands outward at shoulder height. Your elbows are slightly lower
    than your shoulders. Continue to imagine that your hands are connected by
    rubber bands.
    Imagine that you are practicing while standing in shoulder deep water. Feel the
    quiet “brushing” sensation of the water as it moves over your skin.
    Lower your hands by curving them slowly down the sides of your body.
    As you lower your hands, shift your weight to your right foot.
    Continue lowering your hands and draw your left foot toward your right foot.
    Both knees should be slightly bent.

    Gradually return the Qi and breath to the Middle Dantian.


    This is the “Returning to the Origin” posture.
    Maintain this standing posture until your Qi and breath have returned to their
    ultimate origin (Middle Dantian).
    ‘To take training the qi to nourish the qi as your central guiding principle, issue
    qi from the dantian to train, and return it to the dantian to nourish. Combine
    the ve primary components of training (keeping the mind, postures,
    breathing, quiescent techniques, and moving techniques) and base your
    training on the mind in order to achieve good results.’
    - Master Jiao Guorui (translated by Ariel Maayan)
