Meanwhile, while absorbing the Spiritual Essence, Li Ping'an had to follow five key principles:
Distance: what is meant by 'distance' is to keep far rather than near, suggesting with one's consciousness towards distant places such as the horizon, the sky, or the core of the earth.
Continuity: as for 'continuity', it signifies that actions should be continuous without interruption, and thoughts connected without lapse.
Flexibility: with 'flexibility', it is meant that the degree of conscious movement should not be rigid, but appropriately moderate.
Evenness: 'evenness' refers to maintaining a uniform speed, not too fast or too slow.
Joy: 'joy' suggests that one's mood should be joyful rather than worried, smiling inwardly without losing oneself.
