Keeping the Dantian Relaxed
By keeping the area around the dantian relaxed while still maintaining
proper structure, more yang energy drops into the legs giving more
power, stability, and root. -

This sounds like good advice. Is there a particular technique or thought we should keep in mind in relaxing the dantian?

It’s the opposite of core engagement in traditional exercise. Keep the abdominal muscles relaxed instead. However, if your abdominals are relaxed and your pelvis is anterior or posteriorly tilted, then you may need additional exercises to correct that.
