As I approach standing each day, I find that I can work throught the checklist of standing points more quickly.

I'm able to observe/release master cavity as well as perineum much sooner than previous efforts.  As long as I "stay out of the way" I feel I'm growing taller the whole set, as the softness emerges and gently guides everyting to greater verticality.

This post is more about anchoring the joints.

In the previous training practiced, the neigong was that during standing, you released foot, ankle, calf, knee, hips, torso...ect...over and over to allow filling from the bottom up.

However there was no clarity like the bottom, middle and top of each joint.  This anchoring is already much more detailed, and I was surprised at how much intention and will it took to keep the mind on task, my mind kept wanting to run away from that mapping process.

The main thing that keeps popping up currently, is that during the standing, if I remove any self will or "force" and allow the posture to set itself up, I keep growing taller.

A "Verticality" emerges, as im gently reminded not to compress Tan Tien, then, as soon as I remove that compression the verticality sets in and I feel supported in the U.

The amazing thing in all this is that the previous method I trained PREACHED verticality, but it could not help you attain it.
