TJ Nov. 23

Tues. Nov. 23:  Good day today training.  Although, I re-realized something that I keep having to realize again and again:  "Exactly as teacher says.....", this is something that I should tatoo backward on my forehead.  For months and months I've wondered why I kept the tension coming up the back of the body, and why although I was dropping the perineum, I could still tell that my low back was wanting to bunch up and my pecs were trying to engage most of the time keeping my 'stuff' up in the chest at times.

Incorporating the Principles and Qualities into my local Taiji training

Now that I'm beginning to understand the 13 points and body structure better it's affecting both my practice of our Stage 1 lessons and I find it creaping into my local Taiji practices here where I live. It's interesting, the 13 aren't really different than I've been taught in my local Taiji lessons, they just seem more detailed and more to the point than the general Taiji principles I've been taught in the past.
