This drill allows you to feel your own balance and when you really need to step. You must keep upright and not lean.
Feel how sinking and routing considerably improves your stability.
Moving slower than your partner will seriously drain their energy levels and this conserves your own energy by doing very little, only moving when needing to.
You must make sure that you are constantly relaxed and feel heavy. Any tensing up or struggling with your partner is wrong.

Cultivating internal strength
Cultivation of internal strength is done through training and incorporating neigong. All training from the beginning teaches us to cultivate internal strength.
We must strengthen our bodies internally so that when we move, each part of us is connected and working together for every movement we make.
Having strength and using strength are completely different. If you try and force an outcome using strength then you will ultimately tense up, limiting yourself by locking muscles and joints into place.
Through training your strength will always be there while you are relaxing the muscles and allowing the joints to be free and mobile.
The aim is to use minimal effort (strength) to achieve the maximum outcome. Through continuous training and experience you will find that your use of strength will lessen while the outcome will increase.

Opportunities to train
The average day is full of opportunities to train.
Balance can be improved by standing on one leg whilst washing up or ironing.
Juggling balls can be used to strengthen the hands when travelling as a passenger in a car.
Hand, arm and shoulder massages can be performed when sitting at a desk working.
Little changes to your day can result in opportunities to develop your level of skills.

Early morning training
Getting up in the morning can be quite difficult when it is cold outside and you are all cosy in a nice warm bed.
Make it a habit in getting up early to train before you go to work.
You will feel much better and it sets your day up with a positive start.
