I have noticed that, while doing bitter pill, if I relax my hands but keep the right shape, I get an electric feeling in the hands. Its not the same feeling of a stretch that I normally get, but it sulfa produces some hardness but not stiffness. Is this an improvement to my practice? Is the electric feeling the right one?

I have found that for me to get the feeling that Sifu describes for suspending the crown it actually comes about as a result of relaxation and not really pushing the crown up. I haven't had a lot of time fordedicated practice , but I look for these things all day as I walk and move.I foundhave that if I release the traps and hold the head and not let it fall I get a rising feeling in the neck and head that just happens. The meat of the torso sinks and I get fullness in the Dan tien. I have rising in the back and dropping and the front.

From time to time I am getting this very hard to describe feeling in my armpits, especially in my left armpit. It is like a tightness that feels a little buzzy maybe and kind of cool. Defintely not comfortable. I dont know what it is. Any ideas?
