As with all Gi-gong routines, the emphasis is on quiet concentration and resultant relaxation:

Begin the routine standing straight and relaxed with legs together, arms and hands at your sides. Concentrate on posture - not stiffly upright, but also not bent or round-shouldered.

Breathe slowly and deeply. When breathing in, start by expanding the stomach, and then expand the chest. When breathing out, reverse the process. Imagine positive "Gi" and positive forces entering with the new breathe. Imagine negative forces leaving when you breathe out.
Shift the body weight onto the right leg and lift the left leg, bending the knee. As you lift the leg, move it sideways (to the left) and put it down on the floor again as in the picture. Shift weight back onto both feet.
Lift both arms to the front, gradually raising them shoulder-high (breathe in) and then lowering them (breathe out). As you lower the arms, bend both knees. Keep your heels on the floor.

Perform 8 times, slowly breathing in and out.

On the 8th repetition, keep your legs straight as you lower the arms.
