Slow down breathe relax, a moving meditation circulates the Chi
Feet and hands float up, soothing continuity, soft rocking motion
Separate yin yang, beautiful bird flaps its wings, integrate yang yin
Draw from tan t’ien, it’s effort of no effort around the platters
Moving in a dream, circular center bass drum, one integral whole
Daughters together on mountaintop or valley circle hands to rest
Feel energy flow from polarity of hands, carry ball to side
Swim through heavy air, visualize distant star, push pull energy
Many taffies now, shifting weight pulls hands apart with wide turn of waist
Swim through heavy air, groovy-grounded soles of feet working the pulley
Light at top of head, planets circling the sun, light at the temple
Jagged joyous breath flowing like a deep river, passing clouds to right
Six sounds loud whisper, say ho hu szu hsu hsi chui, savor the stillness
Grateful for our gifts, cosmic consciousness pose is graceful conclusion
Topics: Chi and Intrinsic Energy, Poetry, Softness and Continuity, T'an T'ien, Washington, Yin and Yang
