&lt;!--&gt; 全身意在精神，不在氣--&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;The whole body&amp;rsquo;s intent is on the spirit, not on the qi.&amp;rdquo;
Mental Elucidation&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;input disabled=&#34;&#34; type=&#34;checkbox&#34;&gt; Stand in Wu Ji for 1–2 minutes, the eyes resting on a point on the far wall, soft and wide.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;h3 id=&#34;relaxed-not-limp&#34;&gt;Relaxed, not limp&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
