To clarify, when holding up perineum is called for (without tensing, but keeping abdomen and perineum relaxed), this is accomplished by slightly tensing the butt muscles/thighs?
I've read (Gilles Marin among others) that Qi "travels" through the fascia. I've also read the contrary (Dr. Yang Jwing-Ming among others) that fascia is rather an insulator and a poor conductor of Qi. It is interesting that such a stark contradiction could exist in the body of collective information. Thoughts?
Ok, so when using central tendon/superfieicial transverse muscle, naturally, there is secondary tension/support/clenching in levator ani/etc. - key is to minimize that tension as much as possible and remain in the primary CT/STM.
