Essential Points to Remember when Practicing Tai Chi
Suspend from above - the energy at the top of your head should be light and sensitive.
Sink your chest and round your back.
Sink and Relax your waist - the root is in the feet, energy rises up the
legs, is controlled by the waist and expressed in the hands and fingers.
Distinguish between full and empty - where does your weight rest?
Sink your shoulders and drop your elbows.
Use your mind, not strength - we must relax completely to allow our chi
to flow unobstructed - then our movements will be nimble, circular and spontaneous.
Use your entire body - link body movements together from the ground up,
like a series of gears the upper and lower parts folloow one another.
Seek continuity without interruption like a great river.
Seek stillness in movement and movement in stillness - the slower the better, "remain unmoving until the right action arises by itself."
Concentrate your line of vision.
