Don't think, FEEL. On the 1st DAY we played with the movement of the hands and arms. On the 2nd DAY we added some substance and structure. On the 3rd DAY we turned the Kwa (Pelvis) and shifted the weight. On the 4th DAY we brought it all together. "One part moves, all parts move." On the 5th DAY, we refined with "separate and combine." On the 6th DAY, we looked at some details by breaking the circles into parts. On the 7th DAY, we focused on the breath On the 8th DAY, we began to look at the flow of Qi. Today, on the 9th Day, we "feel" what's going on within. This is a feeling out process. A reconnecting. Remember to go with the FLOW. Float thru the practice... Float thru the day.😎 ENJOY playing in the clouds.☁️🙏 P.S. There is no rush and there are no rules. You can stay on the first video for a week or run through all of them in a day. I've dripped them out this way to give everyone a little time to practice each one and let it sink in both mentally and physically. Muscle memory and feeling your body has more to do with what we're doing here than mental memorization. The more you practice the smoother it will become and the less you'll have to think about it. So the best bet (as with most things) is to practice as often as you can (a few minutes everyday is usually better than an hour once a week) and to revisit videos like these over and over again as you build this practice into your body.

Many people find themselves interested in Tai Chi but don't know where to start. There are different schools of thought here. One of my teachers refers to the "bottom up" approach vs. the "top down" approach. The bottom up approach would be to start by learning the basics, the foundations, proper alignments, forms, and principles. The top down approach would be to start by following along and then worry about proper form and the particulars later. So which makes the most sense?🤔 We often hear that different people have different learning styles based on different personalities, but when we look at the evidence, is this really true? Think about the earliest instances of learning. The core things that we all learn. We all learned to walk. Not by different methods. Not by books or courses or videos. We saw someone do it, and we figured it out by doing it ourselves. We may have had a mentor to guide us, but nobody really "taught" us anything. We learned to talk the same way. We learned to ride a bike. When we realize this, which approach to follow becomes clear. We learn by doing.🤯 By playing and practicing. Then we refine and improve as we go along. Even if someone were to teach us all of the fundamentals ahead of time, we only really understand them by doing and experiencing them. These things are more like tips, pointers, reference guides, rather than pieces of information to memorize and then suddenly be able to implement. We stand up and walk or get on and ride, wobbly and unsure at first. Sometimes it's ugly.🤪🤦‍♂️ But as we dive in and wade through the once cold waters, we become acclimated to the environment and adapt to the experience. We develop muscle memory and what was once shaky ground, becomes second nature that we no longer have to give a second thought.😎 "Learning" Tai Chi is a feeling out process. It is a discovery.🥷 So here are a couple of tips.🔑 RELAX. BREATHE. ENJOY. The human body naturally moves in a certain way. The legs, the shoulder, the elbow.
