5 YaoWuYangWei 耀武揚威 – Tiger Displays Martial Power

This movement corresponds to the first half of the Dragon Month, which we enter with this New Moon.

"Imagine being a dragon. Feel your whole body move – not just the wrists and hands. Your whole body spirals, and the Qi condenses into the bone and marrow (QiLianRuGu 气斂入骨)."

I feel this dragon vividly. A feeling of coiling incense smoke, but rather than spiraling outward, it's a concentrating feeling of spirit condensing, solidifying into the bones. How rope is stronger, the unifying spiral strengthens the individual fibers.

She starts from the hands and propagates through the arms into the torso and legs, grounds through the feet into the earth.

A coiling, the winding of a spring, an accumulation and concentration of power.

But with this condensation, my skin is still awake, alive: "At the same time, feel as if each hair on the body is like a needle or an iron weapon standing straight up." "

"Allow your breath to be slow, smooth, deep, and even. Breathe with all the pores of your skin, not with just the Lungs."

The gaze is piercing, bright.

There is a polarity between core and surface here that generates great power. Between concentration and manifestation.
