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.
