Thanks for this good information. My question: Will Qi build in the body just by doing the Zhan Zhuang or must one meditate on the dantien and imagine the Qi growing?

It is in accordance with the zheng li (zhong lik) theory which is predominant throughout the yiquan system. FWIW John I can’t speak for zhan zhuang as practiced in other systems but in yiquan one does want to expand the opposite side of the body away from the arms. It is in accordance with the zheng li (zhong lik) theory which is predominant throughout the yiquan system.
