Great post! Cloud Hands is indeed a cornerstone. I'm curious about the specific connection between the waist movement and the Lung function. You mention the twisting motion aids the core, but could you elaborate on how that mechanical movement in the lower "Jiao" directly benefits the upper "Jiao"?

Is it primarily through the fascial connections, or is it about stimulating the "Qi" flow along the relevant meridians? Also, for a more martial application, would performing it with a lower stance and more intent amplify the respiratory benefits, or is the gentle, seated version equally effective for health?
