Master Fu Shengyuan with "White crane spreads its
wings"In this exercise, which is taken from Still Qigong, you
imagine a small marionet in your lower abdomen standing upright the same way as
you are standing. In time youŽll develop a feeling of concentric
shells or spheres expanding from your center of gravity.

Stand upright in any posture and breath naturally. For
instance you can try to imitate Master Fu Shengyuan with "White Crane spreads
its wings". Your total awareness is centered in your lower abdomen to
develop an inner calm and a good sense of equilibrium. Imagine a littly marionet
in the lower abdomen and building your center of gravity.
Focus your awareness on this little marionet and imagine
that it is standing exactly the same way as you are. Continue to breathe
naturally.
Regular practise lets you get more and more familiar with
this concept. So, when doing the other exercises, imagine that your marionet is
simultaneously doing the same exercise as you are.
So in time you develop a feeling of having concentric
shells or spheres expanding from your center of gravity. Keep this inner
awareness, whenever you are doing the other monthly exercises.
