TaiChi and You...Looking at: Change

Change?

Nothing is fixed in tai chi ; your practice and approach should be constantly under revision and reconsideration. If you feel to have 'got it', think again.

There are no plateaus or stopping points - there is always a deeper layer of subtlety to uncover and comprehend.

TaiChi and You: Priorities

Priorities?

We make choices relative to our values.

Every apparent obstacle represents a moment of conflict and hesitation. Choiceless awareness is the ideal. Choosing without choosing. Moving seamlessly through every situation without any apparent sense of doubt.

Which is more important to you: eating a brownie or losing weight? If you consider losing weight to be your priority you will not want to eat the brownie. No effort is required. There is no conflict.
