Another excerpt from the Nine Yin Manual:
"Midnight, morning, noon, and evening
Chi to the cinnabar field, palms push out
Facing south, sitting cross-legged
Focus on the two palms moving to the center
Whereas it is known meditation is good for cultivation
Sage understands physical exercises complements contemplation
Seeks stability in flux"
Mei Choufeng on grip strength from Nine White Bone Claws:
"Channel energy to ten fingers from the center
Handstand facing a tree like the palm civet
Climb with claws to enhance grip strength"
--From The Return of the Condor Heroes
My note:
Since manuals on martial magic are written in verses of four lines each, one line is missing from the first excerpt, and one line is missing from the second excerpt.
