  Yi Jin Jing II(Three Sets of Yi Jin Jing Exercise)
  Three Sets of YI JIN JING(Sinew Metamorphosis Classie) Exercise  (Twenty-Two Movements in All)
     Among numerous forms of exercises, the following form is developed step by step into three steps and twenty-two movements. Mr. Zhen Guanying, a scholar in Qing Dynasty, recorded the exercise patterns and named them YI JING GRAPHICS with Bodhidharma as the founder in his book KEY NOTES OF CHINESE AND WESTERN SANITATION. In the Kingdom of Xuan Tong Emperor, the three sets were entitled THE TWENTY-TWO MOVEMENTS OF YI JIN JING EXERCISES in another edition with a preface written by Liang Shixian. The first set presented in the book contains twelve movements, focusing on figure training to strengthen health. The other two have five moves each, despite differing only in difficulty. Both of them place emphases on mind training, that is to learn to meditate while practicing, so that one's Nei Qi (Internal Energy Flowing) will function in certain parts inside his body as he required. Beginners are suggested to start with the first set and exercise step by step. Having no trouble Success in exercising will bring three advantages:
     1.The normal flowing of Nei Qi can fend off bad health and avoid serious diseases.
     2. Channeling Nei Qi to do away with discomfort when one is not feeling well.
     3. Directing Nei Qi to finger tips or some other parts and send it out as means to heal sickness for others.
