- Using the 'yi', slowly sink the whole body lower and shift more weight to the left.
- When you are ready, turn clockwise to face the right, turning only the right foot using the right heel as pivot. Keep the right toes lifted while you check that the whole body (from the hip upwards) has made a full right turn (90 degrees) and is upright, with both hands relaxed at the sides of the body, palms facing backwards.
- Sink down the whole body further, tucking the right hip joint (胯) further downwards.
- Bend the right knee downwards and front-wards. At the same time, feel the right leg also bending lower at the right knee and the 'magnetic' force lowering the right toes down too. When the right foot is completely flat on the ground, the right knee should be exactly straight above the right toes. Do not allow this action to be seen by an outsider as if you are moving your whole body forward to the right facing.
- Sink further at the hip and direct the 'yi' to concentrate more on both the bottom of the heels. The repelling feeling will give you the 'Gong Tui' (躬腿) effect - the elastic force pushing up through your legs to the back of your waist and up further your body. This will raise both your hands up.
- Continue to allow both hands to float up, applying the 'running focal point' concept, until they are about 45 degrees to the floor.
- Relax both the shoulders, leading to both elbows bending downwards.
- Allow the right elbow to continue bending down with the right palm facing down while you roll the left palm downwards and inwards, as if like rolling around a big ball.
- When the two palms stop, they should be facing each other, as if like holding a big ball. The 阴阳 (negative/positive or black/white) of Taiji is in place. The left palm should be facing up and the right palm facing down. Feel some subtle force pulling and pushing both your palms. Check that both your elbows are pointing towards the floor and not to the sides.
