              Double hands hold up the heavens to regulate the Sanjiao
              Sanjiao(Triple burner) passes (Chi) freely and smoothly,
              illnesses disappear.
              Reverse hands to face the sky and raise both arms
              Trust out (straighten) your chest, straighten your waist,
              swing to both sides
              Stand upright and be steady.
              Practice long, the body becomes strong and you will feel happy
