3 Days to Flow
Day 3 - Cloud Hands
Cloud Hands trains continuous waist-driven movement, with the arms following in soft, circular paths.
The movement constantly alternates Yin and Yang in the hands, maintaining openness in Lao Gong.
-
Physically: Builds coordination, fluidity, and the ability to redirect force without breaks or stiffness.
It develops lateral stepping while keeping root, balance, and connection between upper and lower body. -
Energetically: Circulates Qi side-to-side like rolling waves, with the Dantian as the driver.
Enjoy this gentle Routine below & find your flow
Body Focus:
-
Waist turns from the Dantian, shoulders and hips move together, arms follow passively.
-
Arms draw soft horizontal circles, elbows stay heavy, wrists relaxed, palms open.
-
Maintain upright spine, head suspended, pelvis neutral; avoid leaning or breaking alignment.
-
Steps are light but controlled, weight transfers complete before the next step.
Energy Focus:
-
Dantian rotation drives a continuous lateral flow of Qi, guiding the hands without muscular push.
-
Lao Gong points express Qi outward in one hand and receive in the other, alternating with each turn.
-
Central axis remains stable, allowing energy to spiral around it like clouds rolling around a mountain.
-
Energy completes its loop in one leg before flowing into the next, keeping an unbroken circuit.
