When practicing Standing Pole meditation the ear, the eye and the mind are active. Use the ear to listen to the dantien. Use the eyes, even though they are closed, to watch, to feel and to watch the dantien. Use the mind to focus on the abdomen, the dantien.

The whole body should be loose and Peng. The body should be so loose that one feather effects the holding of the arms. Use the right strength, nothing more.

With Standing Pole practice and the focus on the dantien the blood circulates and this makes the chi circulate well. When done correctly the body will become very hot. Throughout, focus on the internal, on what is going on inside.
