A few things: When feeling for the dropping down the front, I am finding that if i let go of the abdominals i can feel this"one more thing" to let go of that almost feels like something sliding downward inside as if Iswallowed something and it falls all the way to dan tian. Everything feels condensed on the front lower mass and gets hard it feels hard without flexing. Is this right? Also, i have noticed that my tongue feels heavy at times, or as if it is slightly tingly. Is that a good sign?

I have been revisiting the thirteen points. Keeping the energy on the center of the hips has always left me mystified. Is this what we do when we allow the weight to be carried at the hips and release the knees so that we aren't carrying our weight there?

So, for the last week or so, my body has felt all bound up. It feels as if my training is working in reverse. My body is supposed to be opening but it feels more constricted than ever. I'm sure that this is just me being more aware of the tension that has been there for years, but that doesn't make it any more comfortable. LOL It sucks and I am just waiting for it to pass. Any insight will be appreciated.
