           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
           Thrust out (straighten) your chest, straighten your waist (and)
           swing to both sides
           Stand upright and be steady
           Practice long, the body (becomes) strong (and you will feel) happy
