I am about half way through the Stillness Section and thought I would post an update on what's going on for me.

(My Question has been answered in a later video! )

Hi Sifu Kelley,

I am looking for advice regarding the 'when' of training standing when also training the stillness model.
If I have understood the videos so far, you mention that a student will find that on some days they will know or feel that then want to go back to standing and other days they will just do stillness.

Is it too much of an interference to refer to both within a single training session?

Question Arising From Sunday's San Ti Shi Step Practice

I Found the San Ti Shi Step very difficult and spent an hour over this morning and during the day trying to find some way of executing the step without landing the front foot with a thump,

I started with basic standing BS/FC Cavities Upper Lower, Soft Chest, Smile, PC, then brought in the intention to step without shifting weight and maintaining the cavities.
