When practicing settle the mind first. Throw the thoughts out. Put the mind into the body. Feel the inside of the body. Feel the dantian movements. Find the energies of peng, lu, ji, an in every movement.

Begin the form with Chi Xi. Stand naturally with legs directly below the shoulders. The arm raises with the wrist rising up first as the body sinks slightly. Once the lifted hands reach the level of the shoulder the hands move down from shoulder height in order of elbow, arm, with wrist leading, like petting a waterfall.

The more correct the form the more comfortable the form. When the body is more connected you want to do more practice.
