Just do one and the other will more or less follow automatically. It's easier to feel and visualize the Yang, or expansive motion. Visualization, breathing, and visceral sensation are the only way I can relate the method in words. Once you FEEL this motion within yourself, it becomes easier to do any of it. So to more directly answer you, focus all of your intent on your lower Dantien and your Hui Yin will naturally grow on its own as a result.

I appreciate the response. Do you feel that motion/energy flows in obvious directions within the body, or is it more general/vague? When I meditate, I usually visualize energy entering through my breath and flowing downwards before settling at my core.

This is an extremely crude quick representation. I recommend you familiarize yourself with the structure of a magnetic pole, and how the south interplays directly with the north.

i get magnetic poles, but what are the the rotating circles? vertical axis rotation? or just general mechanics? i'm not sure where spinning comes in, but your magnetic pole analogy is perfectly understandable

The two poles rotate opposite each other. This is the pattern all motion takes without outside interference. The magnitude of spiritual energy is so low that it seldom finds anything that alters its course. Think of the drain in your bath tub. The swirl or vortex is the path that these forces take to move into you. Your spine will act as something of a 'cable' or 'wire' for these forces to travel through, but it's up to your focus and intent to put them where they belong in the body. It takes a great degree of concentration, and that's where the difficulty comes from.

I think I understand now, the flow forms a sort of pattern like two winding snakes. Moving upwards they rotate in one direction, moving downwards another.
