SCOPE
What it can do
Invite attention to the feet, standing, and natural breathing. It can also be a contemporary experiential entry when reading about the differences among daoyin, qigong, and standing practice.
PRACTICE NOTE / 01
A three-minute standing pause:
notice first, name later.
This is an original, low-intensity script for attention. It has no standard posture, no claim of effect, and no demand that you interpret your experience as belonging to a tradition.

Standing is not an answer;
it is only a place to begin noticing.
A video may be added after filming, demonstrator, and safety context are confirmed. For now, the complete script and chapter structure are public so an unpublished video is not presented as finished media.

Find a stable, clear place to stand. Let your feet rest at a distance that is comfortable for you; do not force a standard alignment. Notice contact with the ground and let the breath arrive and leave naturally. If you feel dizzy, in pain, numb, short of breath, unsteady, or concerned, stop and seek appropriate advice for your own situation. This practice only invites attention to present standing. It is not diagnosis, treatment, or a substitute for professional care.
STOP
When to stop
Stop if you feel dizzy, in pain, numb, short of breath, unsteady, or concerned. Do not ignore your own signals to complete steps on a webpage.
NOT A CLAIM
What it does not promise
It does not promise effects for relaxation, sleep, mood, disease, fitness, or appearance. It is not medical advice and does not confer religious practice certification.
CONTEXT
One way of standing
does not equal one unified tradition.
Standing practice appears in qigong and internal martial-arts contexts. This original script does not claim to belong to a named school or use “Daoist posture” as a cover for different sources and contemporary adaptations.
