Posture 11. Play Guitar to Left
[Continuing] from the previous movement, maintain the same stance as in the previous posture [i.e., the feet do not move]. Relax the waist, and slowly inhale. Sit back on the right leg to end in a center setting stance. At the same time, lift both hands forward as standing palms, with the left hand to the front left and the index finger in line with the nose. The center of the right hand is directly opposite to the pit of the left elbow. Look at the left palm, as in Figure 31.
