Secret #12 - Opening the bubbling wells

During one of the practice sessions, Master Chow was commenting on one of the many  secrets of Taiji. 

You must open up the points at the center of your palms (劳工) and soles (泳泉).

When practicing, the chi will reach the hand and the fingers will open up (softly) like the petals of flowers. After the fingers were open, push/swell the center of the palms such that you get the feeling that the chi is bubbling/spilling out from the palms.

It is more difficult to do it on the soles, but the theory is the same.
