From lazily tying one's coat the move to six sealing and four closing. Left hand floats up to meet the right hand. Both hands come down. The weight shifts to the left. Both hands travel across the body so the weight comes back to the right and the left foot comes into an empty stance. Six sealing and four closing from the right side."
