My body has been feeling really tired and sore lately, so as I was doing my Tai Chi this morning, I just let myself really relax. I know we are supposed to relax in Tai Chi already, but I feel like I haven't been. And whatever I did, felt really good. I felt settled into my "highchair". Everything seemed to stay nice and centered over my hips as I moved. And it just felt "easy" and "right".
So what the heck have I been doing before this? Why does this feel so extremely different? Why do I suddenly think that I may have been reaching...overextending? Has my body been TOO engaged? Too intense? Or maybe this attempt was just too relaxed...too flow'y. Maybe it felt so easy because I just simply wasn't engaged at all?
Maybe I've just gone from one extreme to the other.
Tai Chi is one of those things that takes a long time to feel good. It is also something that will always be improving.
