Aloha joangolfing,
Sometimes it's tough to represent something in print. If you follow what he says in your quote and then read the following excerpt that comes right after that, you have your answer.
quote:
• Continue moving your hands slowly in this circular pattern. Your hands move at a rate of 3 to 5 circles each minute.
The DVD from the Level I home study course does a better job representing what Chunyi is currently teaching in regards to that exercise.
As Rob mentions, Chunyi doesn't track the movement with the breath any more, and the 3 to 5 circles each minute is just a starting place (slower is better). Watching the animated gif on that page may give you the impression that it moves quickly. It doesn't.
Much Love, Shawn
