Why is it that while practicing Tai Chi I feel the tension in my body? Is my alignment off? I would often try to fix my posture so I don't feel the tension. Am I not doing something correctly?
Tai Chi is supposed to be like swimming on land. The imaginary water around me should be able to freely pass through me. Air should feel like it can pass through me unblocked. How can this be achieved?
The answer is in the Tai Chi Symbol. Imitate the Yin and Yang Symbol. As you practice the form be smooth, balanced, circular, equally Yin and Yang throughout the form. Be aware of your front, back, sides, top, and bottom. If you move one way move the opposite way at the same time. Fill the spaces all around you.
Try it and you will feel the difference.
