Perineum

I've noticed, more and more, that i have a hard time feeling any kind of expansion at my perineum. I do feel expansion at the... (cough) grain path...(cough). Any pointers on how to release more in that area?

Fajin

All movement is supposed to be from release. Is fajin simply movement by release that is supported by elasticity? It is only understood through training, but is there any discussion that will benefit training and understanding?

Absorb

Tried doing absorb a few times today on a co worker. He said he felt like he became heavy and had to sink down. I didn't feel like i was doing anything. He also groaned a little when i applied a little force in this way. A second Co worker didn't get much out of it, but i don't think i completed the cycle. Anyone have a similar experience? I've never touched hands with any other I Liq Chuan student, so i have no reference outside of these little experiences of mine.
