Sink the waist - the coccyx is curled under. Imagine the tailbone is trying to touch the nose.

Relax the shoulders - the shoulders become rounded, getting "behind" the arms.

Depress the chest - the chest becomes hollow and sunken in conjuction with the shoulders rounding.

Press - the tongue is gently touching the roof of the mouth while the hands reach and press outwards.

Lift - the anus is lifted and contracted.

Moving across and moving smoothly must be understood - "moving across" is to rise and "moving smoothy" is to lower.

Rising, drilling, falling and overturning must be clearly separated - when one raises the arms in Xingyi, this is drilling. When the arms fall, this they must overturn.
