Taiji - The best way of living
Among the list of problems experienced by new students to Taichi is they often complain they could not remember the moves. Because Taiji quan relaxes your body and dulls the thought processes, the moves are sometimes easily forgotten nonetheless the essential benefits of Taiji quan i.e. the meditative experience is remembered. Which is distributed around their being.This is the beauty of Taiji. The inner experience outweighs the outer for your newcomer and also as this is an unfamiliar experience, the mind fights it this is because will not understand and could not define the knowledge by looking at other experiences. The brain desires to understand to link to a past experience and commit that experience to memory. Now we have a big problem. The new student feels good as the class though when aiming to relate their experience to others, see it problematic to call it into words what that experience was, because essentially it was an experience or a felt not deciphered because of the mind.Your practice should refresh you; not burden only more important aspects to remember. True understanding in Taiji brings a deep wholeness to your essential being. Not another memory attached to the intellect. There is no need to know it - you are stuck with it...As you practise let thoughts come as well as let them pass through. Become the watcher. Be indifferent to your thoughts.
When you listen or read word of wisdom, don't make an attempt to remember them or the meaning will certainly be lost. Let them wash over you, cleaning your mind, emptying it. Don t let thoughts make your mind such as a strong wind ruffling the surface of water causing confusion and doubt, be still like a calm lake. The purpose of meditation should be to throw away the mind. Taiji quan empties the mind. Don't burden yourself with more words or thought processes.See out of your deep inner self, let that wisdom travel to seek to change and empower your essential self, the important inner you. Forget of the moment your outer self, your conscious self which was a born of this upbringing, your surroundings and moulded by others' expectation of your body along with what it is best to become.Taiji given the chance can change your life, if you let it. This is often true, I know more than a shadow of doubt due the the fact i am living a history of that.Being of service to others by passing on the teaching I have been so privileged to be brought from my Master and spiritual mentor. I am living a lifetime of happiness and satisfaction beyond my dreams. I even have found my home Dao.Perhaps I d been lucky i really believe I'd the sense to see the Master when I met him and intuitively felt until this was what I should be doing. I didn't understand why, it just felt right but i didn't deny that, or subdue it with logic. I followed my heart although the good and the bad times and allowed my inner self to flower.
