I have been telling other fellow students to keep moving when they are pushing hands. I told them that to stop is to become stiff.
And I was told the same thing today by my teacher.
Relax is about staying flexible. Once you stop moving, you have a fixed posture, which is thus rigid and not flexible. Relax means to keep moving, but not to directly go against your opponent's force. Relax doesn't mean to collapse, it doesn't mean to run away.
Keep moving, keep up the flow and ebb. It is about keeping the balance, and thus when your opponent uses force, you draw it in; when his force is at the end of its exertion, you move in with your own force.
Keep moving, keep the balance.
