Tai Chi - the Grand Ultimate

 
The Tai Chi comes from the Unbounded Infinity, the Primordial Union, the Wuji,
thus it is the source and mother of Yin and Yang.
 
If it moves, it separates;
if it is static, it combines....
 
All movements should be directed by conscious intention, and not by external force.
When moving up or down, front or back, left or right, the same intention is unbroken and united as One.
 
First the mind then the body —- when the abdomen is completely relaxed, the Qi Energy can rise in the body spontaneously; then the Qi Energy can penetrate into the bones.
 
When your spirit and body are at ease you can always move as your intention directs....
 
The mind should direct the Qi Energy to move. The Qi should be completely composed. Then the Qi Energy will penetrate to the bones.
 
The Qi Energy circulating freely, mobilises the body. If Qi Energy is correctly cultivated, one’s Vital Spirit will be raised...
 
- The Tai Chi Classics - 太極拳經 - Taijiquan Jing -
 
 
* The Tai Chi Classics - is a collection of over 100 articles on the Chinese martial art and health cultivation practice of Tai Chi Chuan - written by the art's master practitioners over the centuries.  They cover everything from the underlying Tai Chi philosophical principles, to methods of practice and application.  Previously passed down in secret from generation to generation in whole or in parts through various lineages, they achieved classical status as they became public starting in the mid-1930s.  Together they now serve as the single authoritative guide for the development and usage of Tai Chi Quan skills.
