OK I know the forum police are going to be after me for asking 2qs in one thread but I'm over my posting quota already today
1) Standing med posture
Small point I know. I am finding these days that I appear to be de-evolving into a chimpanzee - thus eg when I stand in the standing med posture my fingers are naturally 'curled' (ie fingertips pointing at 90degrees to palms) and arms slightly bent (so that hands hang in front of legs). The latter may be even more pronounced when a praticularly chi-y standing med. when plams seem to want to face each other uninterrupted as it were).
Anyway small point as I say but is there a lot of leeway in the posture (at an intermediate level eg when you have learned to relax and stop worrying about - oh I don't know - your posture ) or should I be mildly encouraging my body to straighten the arms and fingers (or I guess doing some stretching exrecises to loosen tension)?
2) 'Scooping up' in 18 Lohan Hands
By which I mean the movement that is kind of gathering up with ones hands, slight leap up and then press down central axis type thing.
I can't recall when this is done (ie which exercises) - is it done from all those with a 'low' stance?
TIA
Mike
