Sometimes I question myself as to when my energy should be released when I finish a technique in Tai Chi. And it’s because I am not feeling it. Am I not feeling it because I am not fully grounded or am I not feeling it because I have not made that tiny adjustment that needs to be made?
A second set of eyes is always helpful when you are in doubt. For the most part, I can figure it out when something feels off or just not quite right. And it’s usually because I am either rushing or am not quite grounded anymore.
So lately, instead of going through either the individual parts of the forms, like part 2 or part 1, or the whole of the short form, I have found myself focusing on a few very individual parts that I have noticed aren’t quite right for me. I had the blessing of meeting with Sifu Dennis on Friday and she was able to make a tiny adjustment that made the difference for me. I am grateful for that as I am unable to attend classes right now. There are still some pieces that I am working on and I am looking forward to feeling the release of energy once I have them figured out for myself.
