Head To Toe Routine
Meridian Double Hand/Finger Tapping
NB Listen to the tingling in your fingers/hands as you preform the Qi Gong, this is a very similiar feeling to Qi circulation, but this feeling is for the whole body, not just the hands.

Dantian (Generally) Draw a line from the head to the toe and navel to the spine.
Then imagine 3 cm below that point towards the middle of your body.
Form Fifth Principle
Solid and Empty Stance
As you shift your weight from the left leg to the right,
the leg taking the weight is towards full (Solid), the right towards empty.
This is how you move gracefully and remain balanced.
"Imagine you are walking on ice which might not take your weight (but where you are standing
is safe). You keeep your weight on your back leg. You step forward, first on the heel, then
the ball, then the toes of your front foot, then you transfer your weight forward (knee follows toe).
If at any point the ice was to break, you need to be able to transfer your weight back to your rear leg and try again. Once you are sure the front foot could take all your weight you transfer it to
that foot. The ice doesn't break so now you can transfer it back to your rear leg to allow you to move your front foot (turning on the heel) to a better position . You know know you can transfer
the weight back again to that front foot (because you've already tested the ice) to allow you to
pick up your rear leg and begin all over again.
To stress the point. In real life if you fell into water from ice, the most likely way out is to go
back, because at some point you know the ice previously took your weight. if you carried on forward
you have no way of knowing from the water if the ice would take your weight from any other point because you haven't walked on it. So the leg that contains more of your weight is Solid / Full.
The leg that you are lifting up is considered Empty."
NB: Yin = Insubstancial / Empty
Yang Family Hand Shape
1. Palm
Palm: Extend your fingers towards the straight, but bent slightly and slightly
spaced between each fingers, the thumb is more open (Tiger Mouth).
The palm remains the same shape throughout. Turning the forearm and wrist
changes the direction and meaning. Internally one also changes the meaning.
