How does one generate Fajin with the Tai Chi Long Pole?

I've started practicing the Chen Style Long Pole, and for the most part of it I'm able to generate fajin through my dan tian enough to make the pole's tip reverberate, but I cannot figure out how to do the same for the movement where you swing the pole up in a counter clockwise circle and hit it at head height. No matter how I try, I tend to make the tip barely shake, if move at all.|||You know that power is generated from the feet and legs, directed through the hips and waist, and expressed in the hands. Ultimately, it is always an issue of improving alignment, relaxation of the joints, and maintaining proper structure. Not too flacid nor too stiff. But in the end you simply need to be practicing continuously until you get it. Not just mindless repetition, but analyzing what works and what doesn't work with each repetition.





One thing that might work is to go back to Lao Jia Yi Lu and look at the areas where you can fajing well - or at least where your instructor tells you that you fajing well. Take these areas and extrapolate what works there to your long pole form. Outside of not being able to see your form and help you in person, that's the best that I can do;).





Good luck.





Also, please be careful not to stress your back as using the long pole (all 10 feet of it) can cause injuries if you use improper technique.
