Benjamin Lo Teaching Hint: How to Find Your Own Beautiful Lady's Hand

Stand close to a wall. Place your entire forearm up against the wall,

with your palm facing the wall, and your fingertips together, pointing

upwards, and  extended naturally along the wall's surface.

Don't force your arm against the wall, but conform to the flatness of the

wall in a relaxed way. The base of your palm is very lightly touching

the wall surface. Let your forearm and straight hand and fingers align and rest

naturally, let them be slightly heavy against the wall. This is approximately the shape

and feeling of Beautiful Lady's Hand (mei ren shou in Mandarin).
