Tai Chi moves are step by step , and each step contains unique skills, which not only reflects the philosophy of harmonizing yin and yang and combining hardness and softness, but also can exercise people's body and mind in the movements. Now, let’s explore the details of several key steps in detail.
Start to calm your mind
When you stand, you feel like you are on the tranquil lakeside. The feet slowly gathered together, and the mind gradually settled down. The shoulders hang down naturally, and the arms stretched like willow branches. This is not only the posture of the body, but also seems to shake off all the troubles of the day. In this state, preparing the mind and body to step into the gate of Tai Chi is like a magical journey that is about to begin.
Mustang mane
This "wild horse splits mane" is like a horse galloping on the vast grassland. Its front hooves slowly stepped, its posture gently rotated, and its arms swung like a horse's reins. First extend to one side, then turn to the other side. Every step of the transformation is like a wild horse releasing its vitality, and the swaying left and right posture is like a beautiful exchange with nature, constantly stimulating inner strength.
Cloud hand flows
When I hit the cloud hand, I seemed to be a cloud floating freely in the sky. The hands rotate gently, as if slowly weaving a warm net. At the same time, the footsteps also slowly moved with the movements of the hand, flowing slowly one by one, one by one. Such continuous actions seem to bring worries with the wind, leaving only a tranquility and harmony between the body and mind.
The tail of the bird
The move of the bird's tail is like playing with a lively bird. At first, gently carry it with your palm, and then slowly send it out. The action of acceptance and delivery is similar to the Q&A interaction in a conversation. When taking over, the technique is soft; when sending out, the force is steady. In the process of retraction and release, the exquisiteness of Tai Chi's hardness and softness is demonstrated, as if it can easily deal with various difficulties in life.
Resuming the momentum
It was finally time to end, and it was like a wonderful drama slowly coming to an end. Put your hands down gently, and your feet slowly get closer. This final action is like properly preserving the previous energy and returning to the purest state. It seems that after this round of exercise, the body has been purified. It’s like finding a quiet corner in the noisy world to settle down.
