Start on the ground and search how to reduce your effort as you play, roll, crawl... notice how, especially the beginning of movements... then explore reversing direction. Sensing, seeing, listening to your habits, finding new paths.
Rest in your step exploring gestures of balance.
THE PARADOX OF TAI CHI
We appear to use postures to flow like a river.
We relax to accept the earth's support under an open sky while moving towards one of the 8 directions.
We don't try to control our breath or stop our thoughts but include them in our awareness.
If we turn our walk into something 'special', the 'correct' form, we lose our 'Way'.
