Tub Chi

I have found a modification of T’ai Chi Chih that helps me a lot when I am busy trying to get ready to go out. One night I had to forfeit my T’ai Chi practice in the late afternoon because I had to be somewhere and needed to bathe and so many things were piled up. I managed to get in the tub, stewing in my mind because I wasn’t outside “flowing” with T’ai Chi Chih. After a few minutes I put my feet on the end of the tub and started doing some of the hand motions and just sort of pressing with my feet on whichever side I was doing it. By the time I was through with my bath, not only was I clean but feeling a lot more energized and calm too! I have been doing this quite regularly and found “Around the Platter,” “Push Pull,” “Pulling in the Energy” and “Carry the Ball” to be some good ones. With “Carry the Ball” it felt good to really feel the energy as it passed over various organs. Anyway, TUB CHI has been added to my resources.
