Exercise
1: Buddha Showing a Thousand Hands
 |
Principles:
At the core of Buddha Showing a Thousand Hands is stretching
of the body. This stretching unblocks areas where energy is
congested, stimulates the energy within the body and under the
skin so that it circulates vigorously, and automatically absorbs
a great amount of energy from the universe. This enables all
of the meridians in a practitioner's body to open at the beginning.
When one performs this exercise, the body will have a special
feeling of warmth and of the existence of a strong energy field.
This is caused by the stretching and opening of all meridians
throughout the body. Buddha Showing a Thousand Hands is composed
of eight movements. The movements are quite simple, yet they
control many things that are evolved by the cultivation method
as a whole. At the same time, they enable practitioners to quickly
enter the state of being surrounded by an energy field. Practitioners
should perform these movements as a foundational exercise. It
is usually done first, and it is one of the strengthening methods
for one's cultivation practice.

2: The Falun Standing Stance
 |
Principle:
Falun Standing Stance is a tranquil standing meditation composed
of four wheel-holding positions. Frequent performance of Falun
Standing Stance will facilitate the complete opening of the
entire body. It is a comprehensive means of cultivation practice
that increases wisdom, enhances gong potency, raises one's level,
and strengthens divine powers. The movements are simple, but
much can be achieved through the exercise. Beginners' arms may
feel heavy and painful. After doing the exercises, the whole
body will immediately feel relaxed, without feeling the kind
of tiredness that comes from working. When practitioners increase
the time and frequency of the exercises, they can feel Falun
rotating between the arms. The movements of Falun Standing Stance
should be done naturally. Do not sway, though it is normal to
move slightly; however, obvious swaying should be controlled.
The longer the exercise time, the better, but it differs from
person to person. Upon entering into ding, do not lose awareness
that you are exercising, but instead maintain it.

Exercise
3: Penetrating the Two Cosmic Extremes
 |
Principles: Penetrating the Two Cosmic Extremes
channels the cosmos' energy and mixes it with the energy inside
one’s body. A great amount of energy is expelled and taken
in during this exercise, enabling a practitioner to purify
his or her body in a very short time. Simultaneously, the
exercise opens the meridians on top of the head and unblocks
the passages underneath the feet. The hands, the energy inside
the body, and the mechanisms outside the body all move simultaneously.
When the upward-moving energy is expelled out of the top of
the head, the energy travels directly to the upper cosmic
extreme; when the downward energy is ejected out from the
bottom of the feet, the energy travels directly to the lower
cosmic extreme. After the energy returns from both extremes
to the body’s inside, it is then emitted in the opposite direction.
The hand movements are done nine times. - Excerpted from

4: The Great Heavenly Circuit
 |
Principles:
Falun Heavenly Circuit enables the energy of the human body
to circulate over large areas — that is, not just in one
or several meridians, but from the entire yin side to
the yang side of the body, back and forth continuously.
This exercise is far beyond the usual methods of opening the
meridians or the Great and Small Heavenly Circuits. Falun Heavenly
Circuit is an intermediate-level cultivation method. With the
previous three exercises as a base, the meridians of the entire
body (including the Great Heavenly Circuit) can be quickly opened
through performing this exercise. From top to bottom, the meridians
will be gradually connected throughout the entire body. The
most outstanding feature of this exercise is its use of the
Falun's rotation to rectify all abnormal conditions in the human
body. This enables the human body—a small universe—to return
to its original state and enables all meridians inside the body
to be unblocked. When this state is reached, one has achieved
a very high level within In-Triple-World-Law cultivation. When
doing this exercise, both hands follow the energy mechanisms.
The movements are gradual, slow, and smooth.

Exercise
5: Strengthening Divine Powers
 |
Principles:
Strengthening Divine Powers is a tranquil cultivation exercise.
It is a multi-purpose exercise that strengthens divine powers
(including supernormal abilities) and gong potency by
turning the Falun using Buddha hand signs. This exercise is
above the intermediate level and was originally a secret exercise.
Performing this exercise requires sitting with both legs crossed.
Single-leg crossing is acceptable at the initial stage, when
double-leg crossing cannot be done. One is eventually required
to sit with both legs crossed. During the exercise, the flow
of energy is strong and the energy field around the body is
quite large. The longer the legs are crossed, the better. It
depends on one’s endurance. The longer one sits, the more intense
the exercise and the faster one’s gong grows. Do not think about
anything when performing this exercise—no mental activities
are involved. From tranquility enter into ding.
But your Main Consciousness must be aware that you are the one
who is doing the exercise.
