Then divide the qi into 2 branches and go into the eyes and go to the pupils also visualize a hundred circles. Merge the qi and go into the ridge of the nose. Circle into the deep area. Circle for some time and go into que qiao (birds' bridge) and pass cong lou ("layers of buildings" - throat area), go through the chest and abdomen and enter qi hai (sea of qi). When you sleep, make child's seal with your hands and curl your toes of both feet. Bite your teeth together and focus and circulate on qi hai or get into huang ting. Practise until the mind is concentrated and the qi will go to the front and back. Bad energy will dissipate. All pain and swelling will disappear. Or, use your fingers massage both side of your head and to the ears. Use the nails to squeeze them till you feel the pain. It will create dao yin (guiding the qi) effect.

傷風導引運功法  (保生秘要)

《保生秘要》曰: 先擦手心極熱, 按摩風府百餘次, 後定心以兩手交叉緊抱風府, 向前拜揖百餘, 俟汗自出, 勿見風, 定息氣海, 清坐一香, 飯食遲進, 則效矣。 　　

[運功法]　《保生秘要》曰: 凡頭疼、目脹、 背脹、腰脹、膝酸、發熱者, 當先守艮背, 入定後用行庭, 運至風府, 用意繞回百度, 直行泥丸, 亦旋百度, 後分兩路, 旋眼胞, 漸入瞳人百度, 至鼻柱合行, 亦旋入深處, 多旋一會, 接上鵲橋, 經重樓, 行胸腹, 止於氣海。 睡時以兩手捻孩兒印, 兩腳屈指, 咬緊牙關, 意在氣海旋繞。 或繞入黃庭注念, 練至心純, 不覺真意自旋一貫, 前後間行, 邪氣無不散者, 疼脹自止。 或以手指於腦上著力分兩邊摩之, 及耳根處, 以指甲捻之至疼, 有導引之功。
