Tai Chi lesson...


I had my first Tai Chi lesson this weekend.  It went great.   I learned how to do some interesting things with my body as well as how to think about space. For part of the lesson we went inside an elevator.  I learned the Macrocosmic Orbit which is a flowing movement of arms and hands in a circular fashion.  It is an outward movement whereas the Microcosmic Orbit is more an inward/subtle circulation of energy.  It is hard to speak of this because I am trying to write of something that is very coordinated and multidimensional.  It inspires me to practice Microcosmic Orbit meditation in sitting practice. Sitting and Standing.  Letting go.  Opening up.  Flow.
