Internal Kungfu has a good article about slow circle walking, letting the body adjust itself.
China From Inside has an interesting interview with Ma Chuanxu, of the Liang lineage. Here is an excerpt that is particularly good for bagua practitioners.
"JS: Does it mean that all Bagua movements are designed in such a way that one must have Neigong first to be really able to use them? MR.MA: Exactly. Without Neigong all Bagua techniques are good for nothing and there is no use to practice them. For this reason I'm not willing to teach any techniques to students who do not have Internal Skill - it's waste of time for them and me. JS: I guess very few people can learn in this traditional way? MR.MA: Yes, practitioners often feel that walking exercise is very boring and give it up after some time. However once your Neigong develops, once the Small Heavenly Circle opens, the practice becomes very interesting."
