Gather Celestial Energy... by emmteeyess

This is my T'ai Chi blog.

'Gather Celestial Energy' is the sequence name for the first 3 moves of the Lee style that I practise, so it seems an appropriate title to begin this journey.

The aim is to focus my intentions and record my progress. If I can inspire you along the way, so much the better. If I only inspire myself then that works too.

For a good overview of T'ai Chi check out realbuzz's own pages

and

1 quote from there seems to sum it up:

The practice of Tai Chi can ground us, bring us into a healthier relationship with our own energies and the world around us, and open doorways to the contentment, clarity and wisdom to be found in being present in this very moment.

A 2nd quote shows the problem in trying to sum it up:

In my experience, Tai Chi practitioners find it difficult to put their experience of Tai Chi into words; it is something to be explored and known from the inside.

I agree with both. We'll have to see how this works.

Chee Soo tells us - 'Having started, keep on, for there is no end to the road in front of you'
