The Mustang Shenzhan Technique is a series of stretching exercises for the maintenance and repair of our physical body. The Mustang 8-brocade Technique is just one of a suite of modalities of the Mustang Shenzhan Technique.
It is a basic technique which is easy to learn and practice.
As practitioners of life cultivation, we engage in the Mustang 8-brocade Technique to juvenate our body. When we practice the technique on a daily basis, we will enhance our physical fitness and prevent illness. We will look and feel younger.
The Mustang 8-brocade Technique consists of eight styles or movements. In order to learn this technique properly, you start with the first movement. You memorize the instructions outlined here and then you visualize the movements and associated breathing method in your mind until you have it firmly in your mind.
While you are practicing, you do not refer to the instruction, or the pictures, or the video. You have to practice it from memory. You start to practice the movements and breathing, visualizing the movements in your mind. You focus on the movements by the eyes-nose-mind technique that you have learned before.
We have seen a housewife cooking a new recipe by watching a video on her mobile phone set on the kitchen counter top while she does her cooking. We are simply amazed by her actions. Do not imitate this housewife while you learn any Mustang Shenzhen Technique.
This Mustang 8-brocade Technique is suitable for people of all ages. It is best to practice outdoors in the morning before breakfast. If you sweat after the exercise, take a shower, or swipe off the sweat with a towel before breakfast. Do not let your skin absorb the sweat back into your body again.
We group all eight movements here for convenience. When you learn and practice, learn and practice one by one. Learn one until you are well versed with it, and then go on to the next. Try to learn one movement a week. Do not try to learn and practice more than one or all at once.
As practitioners of life cultivation, most of us take the Mustang 8-brocade Technique as the cornerstone of our fitness program to restore us to a younger self.
Here is the eighth and last movement of the Mustang 8-brocade Technique. Enjoy.
08 Vibrate to rid of all illness

01 Movement
Stand upright with your feet close together.
Keep your palms close to your legs. Straighten your knees. Raise your heels together several inches off the ground. At the same time, lift your head as if you are lifting your whole body.
Then restore your heels to the ground.
Repeat the movements as many times as you can. For a beginner, you should do it at least fifteen times.
If you practice deep breathing at the same time, you should inhale when you lift the heels, and exhale when you return the heels to the ground.
(This is what you will do if you want to look over a wall which is taller than you. )
02 Comment
Stand loosely as before.
The knees are straight and the feet are open, the arms are naturally drooping, and the elbows and arms are slightly supported, intending to guard the dantian.
As you inhale, press down with your flat palms, and lift your heels up.
With the exhale, the heels drop to the ground, the palms drop, and the whole body relaxes. This is repeated at least fifteen times.
03 Operation Tips
You may be out of balance when you lift your heels. Pay attention to keep your body in balance.
When the heels are lifted, the ten toes should touch the ground slightly apart.
When you go up you press down with both hands to stretch the spine as much as possible. If you have spinal lesions, you should drop the heels lightly, and do not use excessive force.
In the exercise, the heels of the two feet rise and fall rhythmically, and through the vibration, the joints and ligaments between the vertebrae will be exercised, and turbid air will be discharged from springing. If you want greater vibration, you can drop your heels with greater force.
04 Benefits
The stretching exercise is beneficial to the circulation of cerebrospinal fluid and the enhancement of spinal nerve function, and to prevent and treat vertebral lesions.
It helps energy circulation at your back. It helps to adjust the function of your internal organs.
