Step 22: 左倒撵猴 (Step Back and Repulse the Monkey, Left foot front)

1. Still sitting and balancing on your right leg and with the left heels touching the ground and acting as pivot, turn your waist/hip (胯) to the right in a clockwise manner for about 45 degrees. As you turn, slowly release the clenched right fist and lower your right arm down by your side while you feel your left arm also being lowered in a 'pressing down' manner by straightening the left elbow.
2. When you turn, remember not to turn your face but keep watching the front (or 'west').
3. Once you stop turning, your left arm should be outstretched in front (left elbow still slightly bent and left lower arm horizontal) with palm facing down while your right hand is completely relaxed by your side.
4. Reverse and turn your waist/hip (胯) anti-clockwise to face the 'west' and feel your right elbow rotating your right lower arm upwards in an anti-clockwise manner while your upper right arm remains by the side of your body.
5. Feel your left palm turning in an anti-clockwise manner too, until it is facing upwards.
6. By the time you stopped turning your body, synchronise the two palms to face each other (yingyang in play; left palm facing up and right palm facing front).
7. Ensure that you are sitting on your right leg, your left toes are lifted and your left heel barely touching the ground.
