Directs and guides. Waist/lower back

area of the waist/lower back.

INTERNAL CULTIVATION SKILLS
back: the left and right sides of the waist/lower back
are exerted simultaneously in opposite directions.
• Use in conjunction with Supporting Palm.
Other points
• Do not let the twisting of the waist/lower back move
the lower abdomen forward.
• In this posture the left and right sides of the body go in
opposite directions. Pay particular attention to this.
• The imagery of Great Peng Bird Spreads its Wings is in
the word ‘spreads’, since the Peng bird is said to be an
enormous bird and it unfurls its wings in a regular
sequence. Consequently you must pay attention to the
sequence of twisting and turning power.
