闭目冥心坐，握固静思神。叩齿三十六，
两手抱昆仑，左右鸣天鼓，二十四度闻。
微摆撼天柱。赤龙搅水津，鼓漱三十六，
神水满口匀，一口分三咽，龙行虎自奔。
闭气搓手热，背摩后精门。尽此一口气，
想火烧脐轮。左右辘轳转。两脚放舒伸，
叉手双虚托。低头攀脚频，以候神水至，
再漱再吞津，如此三度毕，神水九次吞，
咽下 响，百脉自调匀。河车搬运毕，
想发火烧身，旧名八段锦，子后午前行，
勤行无间断，万病化为尘。
以上系通身合总，行之要根据次序，不可缺不可乱，先要熟记此歌，再详看后图及各图详注，
各诀自无差错，十二图附后。

闭目冥心坐，握固静思神。
此图盘腿而坐，紧闭两目，冥亡心中杂念。凡坐要竖起脊梁，腰不可软弱，身不可依靠，
握固者，握手牢固，可以闭关却邪也。静思者，静息思虑而存神也。
\r十二段锦第二图\pt151A258.bmp\r
叩齿三十六，两手抱昆仑。
上下牙齿相叩作响，宜三十六声，叩齿以集牙内之神使不散也。昆仑即头，以两手十指相叉，抱住后颈，
即用手掌紧掩耳门，暗记鼻息九次，微微呼吸不宜有声。
\r十二段锦第三图\pt151A259.bmp\r

三十六次。神水即津液，分作三次，要 有声吞下，心暗想，目暗视，所吞津
液直送至脐下丹田，龙即津，虎即气，津下去气自随之。

河车搬运毕，想发火烧身，旧名八段锦，子后午前行，勤行无间断，万病化为尘。
心想脐下丹田中，似有热气如火，闭气如忍大便状、将热气运至谷道，即大便处，升上腰间、
脊背、后颈、脑后、头顶上，又闭气从额上两太阳耳根、前两面颊，降至喉下、心窝、肚脐、
下丹田止，想是发火烧通身皆热。

The above constitutes the total summary of the whole body. Practice must follow the sequence, neither omitting nor disordering. First memorize this song well, then carefully read the following images and detailed notes for each image.
Each verse will be free from error. Twelve images are attached afterwards.
Twelve Section Brocade - First Image \pt151A257.bmp\
Sit with eyes closed and mind in meditation, grasp fingers firmly and quietly contemplate the spirit.
In this image, sit cross-legged, close both eyes tightly, and extinguish distracting thoughts in the heart. Whenever sitting, straighten the spine; the waist must not be weak, and the body must not lean on anything.
Grasping fingers firmly means holding hands securely, which can close the gates and repel evil influences. Quiet contemplation means resting thoughts and preserving the spirit.
Twelve Section Brocade - Second Image \pt151A258.bmp\
Click teeth thirty-six times, hold Kunlun (head) with both hands.
Upper and lower teeth click together making sound, preferably thirty-six clicks. Clicking teeth gathers the spirit within the teeth so it does not scatter. Kunlun refers to the head. Cross the ten fingers of both hands and hold the back of the neck.
Then use palms to tightly cover the ear openings, secretly count nine nasal breaths. Breathe slightly and softly, avoiding audible sounds.
Twelve Section Brocade - Third Image \pt151A259.bmp\
Strike Heavenly Drum left and right, heard twenty-four times.
After counting nine inhalations and nine exhalations through the nose, release the crossed hands. Move both palms to rub the ears. Place the second finger folded over the middle finger, press down forcefully with the second finger,
and strike the back of the head heavily, producing a sound like beating a drum. Do this twenty-four times on each side, totaling forty-eight strikes with both hands. Then release hands and grasp fingers firmly again.
Twelve Section Brocade - Fourth Image \pt151A260.bmp\
Slightly sway and shake Tianzhu (neck).
Tianzhu refers to the back of the neck. Lower the head and twist the neck, looking sideways to the left and right. Shoulders also sway left and right accordingly, twenty-four times each.
Twelve Section Brocade - Fifth Image \pt151A261.bmp\
Red Dragon (tongue) stirs water fluid, rinse thirty-six times, Divine Water fills mouth evenly, swallow one portion divided into three. When Dragon moves, Tiger runs.
Red Dragon refers to the tongue. Press the tongue against the palate, then stir it around the inside of the mouth, upper and lower sides, to generate saliva naturally. Rinse in the mouth
thirty-six times. Divine Water refers to saliva. Divide into three portions and swallow silently. Mentally visualize and visually guide the swallowed saliva
directly to the Dantian below the navel. Dragon refers to saliva, Tiger refers to Qi; as saliva descends, Qi follows naturally.
Twelve Section Brocade - Sixth Image \pt151A262.bmp\
Hold breath, rub hands until hot, massage posterior Jing Gate.
Inhale through the nose and hold the breath. Rub both palms together until extremely hot. Quickly separate hands and rub the two sides of the lower back. While doing so, slowly exhale through the nose.
Jing Gate refers to the soft areas on both sides of the lower back. Rub twenty-six times with both hands, then retract hands and grasp fingers firmly.
Twelve Section Brocade - Seventh Image \pt151A263.bmp\
Exhaust this one breath, visualize fire burning at Umbilical Wheel (Dantian).
Close mouth and nose to hold breath. With the mind, visualize transporting fire from the heart center to burn downwards into the Dantian. Feel a sensation of heat, then exhale through the nose. Umbilical Wheel refers to the Dantian at the navel.
Twelve Section Brocade - Eighth Image \pt151A264.bmp\
Rotate pulley left and right.
Bend arms. First, rotate the left hand connected with the shoulder in circles thirty-six times, like a winch. Do the same with the right hand. This is the single rotation pulley method.
Twelve Section Brocade - Ninth Image \pt151A265.bmp\
Extend legs comfortably, cross hands and lift empty air.
Release the crossed legs, extending them flat forward. Cross fingers of both hands, turn palms upward. Place crossed hands above the head first, and push upwards with force,
as if supporting heavy stones. Engage the waist and body to rise upwards. After one lift, lower hands back to the top of the head, then lift again. Repeat nine times in total.
Twelve Section Brocade - Tenth Image \pt151A266.bmp\
Lower head to grasp feet frequently.
Use both hands to pull the soles of the extended feet with force. Lower the head twelve times in a bowing posture. Then retract legs to sit cross-legged, retract hands and grasp fingers firmly.
Twelve Section Brocade - Eleventh Image \pt151A267.bmp\
Wait for Divine Water to arrive, rinse again and swallow saliva again. After completing this three times, swallow Divine Water nine times. Swallow with sound, hundred vessels regulate evenly.
Stir the mouth with the tongue again to wait for Divine Water to fill the mouth. Rinse thirty-six times again. Including the previous one, this is the second round. Complete three rounds in total. The first round involved three swallows, these two rounds involve six swallows, totaling nine swallows. Swallow as before, making a sound. Swallowing saliva three times allows hundred vessels to circulate and regulate evenly throughout.
Twelve Section Brocade - Twelfth Image \pt151A268.bmp\
River Cart transport complete, visualize fire spreading heat through body. Formerly named Eight Section Brocade, practice after Zi hour and before Wu hour. Practice diligently without interruption, ten thousand diseases turn to dust.
Visualize heat in the Dantian below the navel, like fire. Hold breath as if bearing stool. Transport the heat to the Gu Dao (anus), then up to the waist,
spine, back of neck, back of head, and top of the head. Then hold breath again, descending from the temples near the ears on the forehead, front cheeks, down to the throat, chest pit, navel,
and stopping at the lower Dantian. Visualize fire spreading heat through the entire body.
