18 ules f osture

It is crucial to adhere to the 18 rules of posture in Qigong and Tai Chi training. Tension in any part of the body can restrict the overall structural system, as the body naturally seeks equilibrium by redistributing its energy and weight. The primary goal of posture training is to achieve relaxation and stillness while maintaining correct form and structure.

The following is a list of the 18 rules
for proper standing posture

1. Stand with the Feet Flat and Straight

2. Bend the Knees

3. Relax the Hips

4. Round the Perineum

5. Close the Sphincter Muscle

6. Pull in the Stomach

7. Relax the Waist

8. Sink the Chest

9. Stretch the Back

10. Relax the Shoulders

11. Sink the Elbows

12. Hollow the Armpits

13. Relax the Wrists

14. Suspend the Head

15. Tuck the Chin

16. Soften the Eyes for Inner Vision

17. Close Mouth, Open Nose, Stop Ears

18. Touch the Tongue to the Upper Palate (Fire Position)
