When
you do this stance you prepare your mind and body for all
Tai Chi movements. While in this balanced position you relax
your body and calm you mind. Use your mental intention to
"lower" your energy to your abdomen and legs, and
let all your weight sink down to your legs. Do this before
every movement.
Movement:
- Stand
up. Have your feet parallel and placed at the width of your
shoulders. Keep your weight balanced on both legs with your
knees loose. Relax arms at sides, slightly away from your
body.
- Breathe
evenly, with your whole body relaxed. This will mentally
prepare you for Tai Chi.
- Quietly
feel that your weight is going down to your feet.
