3.Inhale and bring the fingers together, lifting the hands to the level of the chest. As they lift, the wrists flex quickly, creating “grasping monkey paws.” As the monkey taking in Earth qi, you have grasped it into your hands and sneakily bring it up toward your chest. Begin to lift the shoulders, contract the abdomen, tighten your chest, and close and lift the muscles around your anus.

4.Hold your breath here. Shift your weight forward toward the balls of your feet and begin to gradually lift your heels off the ground. Keep your head vertical to help you find balance. Simultaneously look over the left shoulder, checking to see if anyone has seen you steal the Earth qi.

5.While still holding your breath, turn your head back to center. Once you have seen that no one to your left has seen you take Earth qi, release your “grasping monkey paws” and let your palms face the earth.

6.Exhale while lowering the released palms down. Simultaneously lower the heels and relax your contracted shoulders, chest, belly and anus. You have gotten away with your monkey shenanigans and can relax.

7.Repeat Steps 2–6, but this time turn your head to look over the right shoulder. Complete 2–3 rounds, left and right, and then release.

8.Finish by standing back in Wuji. Notice how the mind, heart and thoughts feel after practicing this Monkey form.
