By Cheng Man-ching "To study Tai Chi Chuan means to learn to relax. Relax, let go of all tension, all hardness, be soft. Hardness is the discipline of death; softness if the discipline of life. So, wherever you identify tension or hardness let it go. Relax completely. This is what it means to study Tai Chi Chuan." Upright, centred, balanced, and calm
Naturally sinking, it rises Change, exchange….inter-change Already imbued in the natural way of things In learning not to do, in, no-longer grasping The insubstantial and substantial are naturally revealed |
