Try noticing the ankles as well, see if they're relaxed. Similarly with the spine, the chest, the shoulders... take your time, and notice them one by one. try not to rush it, as that'll just make you less relaxed! good luck. it’s a habit, maybe to hide the tummy? ;) it’s normally not just the kua, but the kua is a good indicator.
