A few words, notes and other wee jems than can sometimes show us another part of the great landscape of the Tao of Master Cheng.Cheng Man Ching would say "There are no secrets, but if there was one, it would be that hands don't move." Wolfe Lowenthal, Summer 2007, Stirling Scotland. Tai Chi is the art of using mind
Keep the structure
Relax and sink
Turn like a millstone
Feel the movement from within
First synchronise and then connect the movements
Send an internal wave of sinking through mind and body
The base is moving the body; the body is moving the arms
Lower body is like a river; the upper body is like a cloud
Different destinations but arrive at the same time
Internal changes come from below
Stillness in the movement
Fast is slow; slow is fast
Wee Kee Jin in Holland 2006
The morality is in the chi. When Lao Tzu says, "The sage treats the people as straw dogs," he's referring to this idea. To the taoist, justice does not exist in the realm of judgment, but in balance. Wolfe Lowenthal, Salamanca 2008
