The three yang bowels are responsible for transporting yuan qi and dispersing water and liquid. This form is about two hands crossing and lifting upwards to stretch the waist and back, promote the circulation of qi and fluids, and thus nourish the body with yuan qi and body fluid.

What are the three yang bowels? Actually, many types of are used by Traditional Chinese medicine nowadays. 'Daha' believes that the three yang bowels are the outer protective membrane outside the five zang organs and six fu organs. Above the chest is the upper yang bowel, from the sternal notch to the navel is the middle yang bowel, and below the navel is the lower yang bowel. The three yang bowels are one of the six fu organs, and they protect the entire internal organs.

The first secret: Press the shoulder-glenoid orifice to open the shoulder-glenoid.

The key point of this form is to keep your hands raised to the sky, and at the same time, press the shoulder-glenoid orifice. When you do this, you will hear the clicking sound of the joints in your arms, which will straighten and smooth the meridians. When you stretch upwards, pay attention to opening the shoulder-glenoid joint. You'll also hear the clicking sound of the shoulder joint. The shoulder-glenoid orifice is a major acupuncture point in the human body, no matter whether it's a point striking or a point clearing, it's absolutely necessary. Opening the shoulder-glenoid orifice will open up the body's qi channels.

The second secret: Corresponding the Gongsun hole to the Baihui hole.

When you raise your hands to the sky, naturally lift your heels and keep your toes on the ground. Turn your palms over, and focus your intention on the Gongsun hole and the Baihui hole. Don't underestimate this brief moment, it will fully adjust the yin and yang all over the body.

The third secret: Lead the Qi of the Shenmen hole to stretch the three yang bowels.

Then, use your intention to press on the Guan Chong hole, the tip of your little finger. Stretch and pull the tendons of the little finger's muscles. The fourth secret: Coordinate the four hands to regulate the three yang bowels and the middle and lower yang bowels.

As your hands stretch and pull, at the same time, coordinate the stretching of the muscles on the chest, waist and abdomen on both sides, expanding the path of the three yang bowels. You will feel that your body is becoming more transparent and comfortable.

The fifth secret: Raise your five fingers and let the qi go throughout the body.

Then, when you exhale, naturally press your palms down on the sides of your waist. Shoulders down, elbows down, five fingers up, and put the force on the palm root. This will immediately allow qi to spread throughout the body, and you'll feel sour, numb and aching.
