《养生方》说：精气储藏于生殖器（玉房），如果房事过于频繁，就会造成精液流失。精液流失的人，会感到心神恍惚、怅然若失，心中常常惊恐悸动。
《养生方导引法》说：一只脚脚跟着地不动，另一只脚向侧面伸出呈“丁”字形，转身倾斜身体，双手配合迅速回转，左右交替进行。这种方法可以祛除脊柱的风邪寒气，治疗半身不遂及经络不通润。
又说：蹲坐时身体端正、头部平正，双手交叉置于下巴下方，头部保持不动，两肘向上正直摇晃，上下往返七十四次（七七），也可以做二十一次（三七），以此放松身心。这种方法可以祛除乳房部位的风邪寒气引起的肿胀闷痛，调节鱼际穴附近的气血不调，每日练习可逐渐消除病痛。
又说：坐下时将两足长长伸直并自然放松，体内的气向下运行，使内心柔和舒适发散。然后弯曲一只脚安放在膝盖下，另一只脚长长伸直，足趾向上翘起，迅速仰卧，头部不接触床席，双手用力向前伸展，头部用力向上牵引，同时各自取势，往返十四次（二七），左右交替也是如此。这种方法可以祛除脚疼、腰背疼痛，以及寒血冷风之邪，每日练习可逐渐消除病痛。
又说：腹部贴着床席，长长伸开双脚，慢慢观察气息向下，知道气息运行的去向。然后用手掌拓按床席，用力使手臂伸直，疏散脊背之气，向下渐渐尽力往返十四次（二七）。这种方法可以清除脏腑内的宿积寒气，缓解脉象紧急及腰背的风邪寒气。
又说：想要通过呼吸出汗，可以握拳屈膝侧卧，屏住气息直到极限想换气时停止，待气息平稳后再屏气，如此反复直到出汗才停止。再变换睡姿，让下半身在上、上半身在下，再次像前面那样屏气，直到大汗出才停止。这主要用于治疗身体中的风寒邪气。如果想要治疗大腿、小腿和手臂的疼痛，可以弯曲一条腿和一只手臂，伸直患病的那一侧，正面向上躺好，用鼻子吸气使腹部充满气，用意念推动气息，想象气息运行到上部，感到温热病就好了。
又说：腹部贴着床席，长长伸出一只脚，向后用力伸展足趾，一只手舒展开向前尽力伸展，另一只手向背后挽拉，倒极势头，仰面蹙背使其紧张，先用手足斜长伸出的姿势，两手两脚互相挽拉紧张，然后弯曲手足与头一起，同时取势，经常记得活动手足。先后交替，上下往返十四次（二七），左右也是如此。这种方法可以祛除背部、颈部、腰部、膝盖和肩膀的风邪寒气引起的疼痛闷胀，以及脊柱内部的僵硬强直。
又说：坐正，双手向后，抓住手腕反向扭转，手掌拓按床席尽力而为，使人感到头晕目眩，上下七次，左右换手也是如此。这种方法可以损耗腹部的冷风邪气，消除宿积之气，温暖胃口，改善饮食进退困难、呕吐逆气不下等症状。
又说：凡是学习调养身体的人，必须先端正坐姿，双膝并拢，脚部并齐。刚开始坐时，先让足趾相对，足跟向外扒开坐上。如果想要安稳，必须两足跟向内相对坐上，足趾向外扒开。如果觉得闷痛，就渐渐举起全身，好像怀疑要坐下去一样，等到像向内坐进去那样不痛时，就像双竖足跟向上坐上，足趾并拢反向外。每次坐着都可以祛除膀胱内的气滞、膝盖寒冷、两足冷痛、上气腰痛等症，都能自行消除舒适。
又说：长长伸出一只脚，弯曲双手挽住膝盖三里穴处，用力将膝盖向前推，身体向后挽拉，同时取势，体内的气便会消散。感觉像骨头解开一样，左右互换脚，各做二十一次（三七）。渐渐可以祛除肩膀脊柱的冷风寒气，缓解血筋拘急。
又说：双手向后倒挽两足，达到极限姿势，头部仰起，足趾向内向外用力，缓急往返七次。然后手向前伸直。脚自然摇动，膝盖不动，手足各做十四次（二七）。这种方法可以祛除脊柱腰部闷滞的风邪寒气。
又说：身体平正舒展双手，向后尽力。弯曲手肘向后，空捺七次（四七），转腰垂手向下，手掌四面转动。这种方法可以祛除手臂内侧筋脉拘急。
又说：两手长长伸直合掌向下，手高举与肩膀齐平，尽力使肩膀感到闷痛，然后上下摇晃十四次（二七），手下至肩膀收回，上下缓急，轻手前后散振七次，可以祛除肩膀内部的风邪寒气疼痛，每日消散。双手向前拓按，努手合掌向下。
又说：手掌倒拓两臂，并向前尽力上下，旁边两腋窝用力振摇，往返二十一次（三七），最后手不移位，努两肘向上尽力上下振摇十四次（二七），想要握拳两手七次，接着相伴随做二十一次（三七），可以调理颈部肩膀的筋脉。急努一手屈拳向左，一手捉住肘头向内挽拉，上下同时尽力，屈手散放舒展手指三次，然后转手都达到极限姿势十四次（四七），调理肘膀骨筋。急强两手拓向上，尽力上下，往返二十一次（三七）。
又说：手不动的时候，两肘向上尽力七次，手不动，肘臂侧身尽力左右回转二十一次（三七），可以祛除颈部骨骼的冷气风邪急症。前十二种方法都有这种功效，能使人气行通畅，必须在疾病中酌情衡量使用。
The *Yangsheng Fang* (Prescriptions for Nourishing Life) states: Essence is stored in the genitalia (Yu Fang). If sexual intercourse is too frequent, essence will be lost. Those who lose essence will feel despondent and often experience palpitations and fright.
The *Yangsheng Fang Daoyin Fa* (Guiding and Pulling Methods of the Prescriptions for Nourishing Life) states: Place one heel on the ground without moving it, while extending the other foot to the side in a "Ding" (丁) character shape. Turn the body and lean, with both hands quickly returning to position, alternating left and right. This removes wind-cold from the spine and treats hemiplegia and lack of circulation/moisture in the meridians.
It also states: Sit in a squatting position with the body upright and head level. Cross hands and place them under the chin. Keep the head still and shake both elbows upward vertically. Go up and down seventy-seven times (Qi Qi), or thirty-seven times (San Qi), to relax the mind and body. This removes wind-cold swelling and oppression in the breasts, regulates irregularity at Yuji (LU 10), and daily practice gradually reduces damage.
It also states: Sit with both legs stretched out long and relaxed naturally. Let the internal Qi move downward, making the heart soft and comfortable. Then, bend one leg and place it under the knee, stretching the other leg long with toes pointing upward. Quickly lie supine with the head not touching the mat. Push both hands forward forcefully and pull the head upward forcefully simultaneously. Take these positions and go back and forth fourteen times (Er Qi), alternating similarly. This removes pain in the feet, waist, and shoulders, as well as cold blood and wind-cold pathogens, gradually reducing damage daily.
It also states: Press the abdomen against the mat and stretch the legs long. Slowly observe the Qi moving downward and know its destination. Then press the palms against the mat, striving to straighten the arms, to dissipate Qi in the back. Move downward gradually and strive to go back and forth fourteen times (Er Qi). This eliminates accumulated cold within the Zang-Fu organs and relieves urgent pulses and wind-cold in the waist and shoulders.
It also states: To induce sweating through Qi, clench fists, bend knees, and lie on the side. Hold the breath until the extreme urge to exhale arises, then stop. When the Qi settles, hold the breath again. Repeat this until sweat appears, then stop. Change lying position so that the lower body is above and the upper body below, holding the breath as before until heavy sweating occurs. This mainly treats wind-cold within the body. To treat pain in the thighs, shins, and arms, bend one shin and one arm, extend the affected limb, and lie supine. Draw Qi in through the nose to fill the abdomen, use intention to push the Qi, imagining it moving to the upper part; when warmth is felt, the condition heals.
It also states: Press the abdomen against the mat and stretch one leg long. Forcefully extend the toes backward. Extend one hand fully forward and pull the other hand back over the shoulder, reversing the posture and arching the back tightly. Initially, use the diagonally extended limbs to pull against each other tightly. Then bend the limbs and head together, taking the posture simultaneously, remembering to move the limbs. Alternate front and back, going up and down fourteen times (Er Qi), and similarly left and right. This removes wind-cold pain and oppression in the back, neck, waist, knees, and shoulders, as well as stiffness in the spinal interior.
It also states: Sit upright, hands behind, grasping wrists and twisting backward. Press palms against the mat to the limit, inducing dizziness. Do this seven times up and down, and similarly switch hands left and right. This dissipates cold wind in the abdomen, resolves accumulated Qi, warms the stomach gate, and improves difficulties in eating/drinking, vomiting, and inability to swallow.
It also states: Anyone learning to regulate and rest must first sit upright, with knees and feet together. Initially sit with toes facing each other and heels pushed outward. For stability, bring heels inward to face each other while sitting, with toes pushed outward. If feeling oppressed or painful, gradually lift the whole body, hesitating as if about to sit, until sitting inward feels painless, similar to sitting with heels vertical upward and toes turned outward. Each sitting removes Qi in the bladder, cold knees, cold painful feet, ascending Qi, and waist pain, allowing them to disappear comfortably.
It also states: Stretch one leg long. Bend both hands to grasp the Sanli point (ST 36) on the knees. Strive to push the knees forward while pulling the body backward, taking the posture simultaneously so that internal Qi dissipates. It feels like bones separating. Switch feet alternately, doing thirty-seven times (San Qi) each. Gradually remove cold wind from the shoulders and spine, and relieve tense blood and sinews.
It also states: Hands backward, inversely grasping both feet to the extreme. Head tilted back, toes pushing inward and outward. Go slowly and quickly back and forth seven times. Then extend hands straight forward. Shake feet naturally, keeping knees still. Limbs do fourteen times (Er Qi) each. This removes wind-cold oppression in the spinal waist.
It also states: Body flat and upright, stretch hands. Push backward to the extreme. Bend elbows backward, pressing empty space seven times (Si Qi). Turn waist, let hands hang down, rotating palms in four directions. This removes tension in the sinews inside the arms.
It also states: Stretch both hands long, join palms downward. Raise hands high to shoulder level, striving until shoulders feel oppressed and painful. Then shake up and down fourteen times (Er Qi). Return hands to shoulder level. Vary speed lightly, shaking front and back seven times. This removes wind-cold pain inside the shoulders, dissipating daily. Push both hands forward, striving palms downward.
It also states: Invert palms to press both shoulders, striving up and down forward. Press and shake urgently near both axillae. Go back and forth twenty-one times (San Qi). Finally, keep hands in place, strive elbows upward urgently up and down, shaking fourteen times (Er Qi). Clench fists twice seven times, then accompany with twenty-one times (San Qi). This regulates neck and shoulder sinews. Urgently bend one fist to the left, grasp the elbow head of the other hand and pull inward. Up and down strive completely. Bend hands, release, and extend fingers three times. Then turn hands to extreme posture fourteen times (Si Qi). Regulate elbow and shoulder bone sinews. Urgently strong hands press upward, strive up and down, going back and forth twenty-one times (San Qi).
It also states: When hands are still, strive elbows upward seven times. Without moving hands, strive elbows and arms sideways, turning left and right twenty-one times (San Qi). This removes cold air and wind urgency in neck bones. The previous twelve methods all have this effect, enabling Qi to circulate in the person. They must be measured appropriately during illness.
