Cells Are Free

T’ai Chi Chih practice teaches me how it feels to not create barriers, but rather to let the flow of energy and Knowing enter. I picture each cell of the body, gently holding hands, with a trusting smile, grateful to softly and continually be a vessel of Chi. If I sense tenseness or hesitation, I appreciate the awareness, for it’s the start of transformation. With practice and time, letting go happens. Each cell is forever free to simply relax and let the flow.

Cells settle and allow for movement. There’s no need for me to pull, push, hold, create, find or use effort of any kind – because space is filled with ever replenishing Chi, which the tan t’ien loves to provide. The cells know their roles, without command, as the tan t’ien provides their energy and silent knowing. At the center is my source and support. I feel the comforting strength of joyous cells and soft Chi, flowing unencumbered … letting. Thanks to my teachers and to Justin.
