The most important move in the LHBF form is the opening move, raising
your arms slowly and lowering them. This is the start of learning chi
breathing and once achieved will open up your middle chi channel so
that chi can flow freely to and from the dan tien.
Master Li's bellow breathing is his analogy of chi breathing -- the
dan tien slowly takes in air from the nose, instead of using the lungs
which are restricted from full expansion and/or intake by the lungs.
By using the dan tien, air/oxygen fully fills up the lungs
unrestricted.
