Bristol : Natural Way T'ai Chi: March 2009
http://uncarvedblog.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Friday, 13 March 2009. When we empty one side of the body to yield to an opponent's force there is a corresponding force which comes to the opposite side. This force can be issued or stored. It increases in strength as we turn and empty on the yielding side. If the body is too loose then this force will be dissipated. PS Anyone who says that "nothing is impossible" has never tried to slam a revolving door! Tuesday, 10 March 2009. Co-ordination and the benefits. At first the mind awareness seems separate ...

Bristol : Natural Way T'ai Chi: Advice at the Beginning : Surrender to relaxation
http://uncarvedblog.blogspot.com/2012/02/advice-at-beginning-surrender-to.html
Sunday, 19 February 2012. Advice at the Beginning : Surrender to relaxation. To get the most benefit from practice we should apply relaxation. But, how do we relax? If we try to relax the very act of trying will get in the way! In a similar way we can 'let go' into the experience of 'just being.'. Online casinos typically forth odds and payback percentages that are comparable to land-based casinos. Some online casinos supervise higher payback percentages payment low-spirited gismo games, and some dis...

Bristol : Natural Way T'ai Chi: February 2009
http://uncarvedblog.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Saturday, 28 February 2009. Deep stances in the sword form and squatting single whip. When going to a low positions the force is directed downwards when the body sinks. The legs must be relaxed and especially the hip joints. The downward force is achieved by emptying the upper body and following the force down. The force increases as it accumulates in the lower position. Not much time to practise? It is good to do the first three preparations and then do some form if you are short of time. I have been pr...

Bristol : Natural Way T'ai Chi: The Fist
http://uncarvedblog.blogspot.com/2010/02/fist.html
Thursday, 4 February 2010. The punch in t'ai chi is performed with a soft fist. It is worth spending time to understand the correct way to form the fist. It is important that the thumb is not inside the fingers against the palm. The thumb is on the outside of the fingers. The softest method is with the thumb on top of the hand, resting on the index finger. There is more tension in the hand when the thumb bends accross the first and second fingers. 26 August 2010 at 07:31. Natural Way Tai Chi Blog.

Bristol : Natural Way T'ai Chi: June 2009
http://uncarvedblog.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Thursday, 18 June 2009. To 'get' the ch'i you must separate the bones and flesh. There are two aspects of the body which we need to separate : the bones, and the muscles, or flesh. The bones are aligned from the feet and create a connection through the body so that you can feel a mechanical connection to the hand or wherever you wish to exert force. The separation of bone and flesh is important for health because the pathways of ch'i are opened and activated more strongly when applying this principle.

Bristol : Natural Way T'ai Chi: January 2009
http://uncarvedblog.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 27 January 2009. Between Heaven and Earth. We are between heaven and earth. We are a mix of both aspects. The dense physical, heavy matter of our body sinks down towards the earth. This occurs naturally as we relax. First we must align the body to allow gravity to pass centrally through from the top of the head to the centre of the feet then we can relate to the heavenly ch'i. This is the yang ch'i and it moves upwards when we raise the Shen. How do we raise the Shen? How do we cultivate Shen?
