Posture 42. Step Up, Right High Pat on Horse
(1) [Continuing] from the previous movement, relax the waist and slowly inhale. At first, sit back on the left leg and swing the right toes outward. Then sit solidly on the right leg and step the left foot forward to end in a center setting stance [zhòng dìng bù]. At the same time, change the right fist to a palm and coil it down to the back and turn it up to a Yin palm at the side of the right ear. Using the [left] elbow as an axis, flip the left hand down to the inside and then press down [with the back of the forearm] towards the front to end in a Yang palm that is level [with the elbow]. Face towards the east and look at the left palm, as in Figure 124.

(2) [Continuing] from the previous movement, relax the waist and begin to push through the right leg to end in a left bow stance. At the same time, move the right palm from the side of the right ear, passing over the top of the left palm and chopping forward with the outside edge of the [right] hand. Sink the Qi to the dan-tian, and then focus [the Qi] into the two palms. Face the east and look at the right palm, as in Figure 125.
