After fulfilling the above requirements, imagine that the body is comprised
of nothing but water molecules and that the skin is made of rubber (similar
to water in a balloon). Feel the water molecules pressing against the skin
as gravity begins to pull the water molecules down through the body, toward
the floor. As the water molecules are pulled lower, you can feel the arms
begin to swell. The fingers feel as though they are swelling to an enormous
size. As gravity pulls the water molecules even lower, the thighs become
thick and heavy. The water molecules flow deeper into your legs and feet
until your feet feel as though they are going to burst out of your shoes.
Feel the feet spread. Feel the toes spread.
Your body now feels like a pyramid, heavy at the floor and light at
the top.
Continue to breath deep into the dan tian. Allow your attention to move to your feet and notice where the primary weight is. It should be in the middle of each foot. If it's not, adjust the position of your pelvis until it is. Don't forget to be aware of the imaginary weight pulling down at your tail bone and the cord pull upward on your head.
Once you have accomplished the feeling of being grounded well to the earth or floor, imagine that the floor is pushing up against your feet, trying to up-root you. The more relaxed and grounded you become, the harder the floor pushes up against your feet.
After about 10 minutes, your feet will feel energized and your hands will become warm.
