[ ] How to create light feeling in Tai Chi

1. Laser line support Centre – power from foot, transit to leg create pelvis rotation become puma stomach, balloon chest, chin down, laser line shoots out seventh chakra gate, (100 joints nerve point) – Exercise: Practice end flow of Taiji.
2. Energy rising like steam
3. Flow down like rolling river
4. Open like a balloon
5. Out of the fingers like silk worm line
6. Whole arm moving like a cloud

[ ] Hand moves with a breathing motion

1. slowly open to extend Palm to every finger and knuckles like a peacock’s tail
2. wrist always remain relax.
3. Close it like a rotating jellyfish.
4. Hand breathing motion must match balloon body effect. When balloon body open to maximum then hand open to maximum as well. When body deflate like a balloon hand rotation relaxes.

[ ] Laser line constantly charging in Tai Chi, it never stops.

[ ] Centre core of body creates inflate and deflate like balloon effect – whole arms follow like a cloud or wave. (There are exercises for both)

[ ] Rotation and jump motion – more laser line and balloon effect

• when hand follow the rotation and jump, foot and centre must charge first, hand follow at 45 degree – power in corner of wrist attack point

Advanced Tai Chi Points

[ ] Jump before eagle pose with extra hand flow – rotation into eagle pose needs body weight one side not straight down

[ ] Each final pose make sure foot leg laser line balloon then finally hand pose

[ ] Single whip hand rotation cannot affect centre before low pose

[ ] Explosion feel point to explode to, not just throw power into the air

Tai Chi is created when the four elements, Earth, Water, Fire and Wind flow together – extreme opposites in harmony.
