Feel The Flow Of Chi

In Justin Stone Speaks on T’ai Chi Chih, he says, “The depth of T’ai Chi Chih will never be completely plumbed.” It leads one along an ongoing spiritual journey. As TCC teachers on a spiritual path remember that “the means is the end” (Abandon Hope). We continue to be students in the process of deepening our TCC, and Tuesday morning teacher practices in Albuquerque are opportunities for this.

At a practice a few weeks ago, while we were doing Pulling In The Energy, Carmen mentioned feeling the flow of the Chi as it moves through the body. As I shifted my weight forward, I could feel the flow of the Chi coming through my fingertips, through my hands and up through my arms. As I shifted my weight back, I could feel the Chi passing through my chest, into my heart center, and as I settled onto my back foot, I could feel the flow of the Chi settle into the tan t’ien down to the soles of the feet. What an insight into the flow of the Chi. I am grateful. I give thanks.
