In the beginning we have to learn about our mind, emotions and body and harmonise them.
Then we have to make them all more intelligent and skilful.
Then we have to stop thinking so much and watch them, allowing insight and wisdom to arise.
Then we have to be able to recognise energy in all its stages, nurture and alchemise it.
90% of this work is done in the unworded mind.
When all of this work is harmonised we can enjoy Tai Chi at the highest level.
