T’ai Chi Chih: Returning To Freedom!

Each of us has become accustomed to superimposing self-created limitations upon Reality, our Essential Nature. We sustain these unnecessary, conceptual restrictions through various justifications based on experience and what we have accepted from others.

The longer we sustain these beliefs in limitation, these restricting concepts and mental tendencies, the more deeply they seem to bind us in the way we express ourselves and experience life.

Enlightened beings have attested that we are essentially unlimited in our capacity for self-expression, comprehension and bliss. They have stated that the more we are able to neutralize or transcend self-imposed limitations, the greater will be our freedom of expression and joy. Until we are willing to release the self-created limitations of who we are and what we can experience, we will remain unfulfilled, while continually seeking relief from suffering.

One way to dissolve the restricting tendencies we have cultivated, is to improve the flow and balance of Chi, the intrinsic, life-sustaining, evolutionary force that animates and operates through the mind-body. Through regular, conscientious practice of T’ai Chi Chih, the volume of Chi that lives and breathes us increases and is harmonized and matured. As a result of this process, the mind-body is rendered increasingly fit to incorporate the limitless expression of our Essential Nature.

T’ai Chi Chih is a true blessing through which we may actualize our Wholeness, our Essential Nature by allowing the restoration of Reality. This is the only true aim of T’ai Chi Chih practice: “knowledge of Reality”.
