Tai Chi Meandering 5

 

"Tai Chi cannot be practised using the rational mind. Beginners try to make the movements with their minds, and they cannot. The movements are too complicated. Indescribable.

Hands and feet, timing, balance, speed etc. - these cannot all be controlled by the mind. Just leave the body alone! When you do not interfere with it, the body moves with the Tao spontaneously."

"The nature and meaning of the Tao received its first full exposition in the Tao Te Ching of Laozi, a work which along with those of Confucius and Mencius would have a far-reaching effect on the intellectual, moral and religious life of the Chinese people. Although a book of practical wisdom in many ways, its profoundly metaphysical character was unique among the prevailing forms of thought in China at that time." thebigview.com
