Tai chi

Tai chi may be physically easy to perform but it does require awareness.
The mind must be without thought in order for you to move internally.
Beginners initially learn standing qigong because this helps them to calm the mind and be present.

The exercise is uncomplicated and offers almost no physical challenge except to remain relaxed and aware.
It is the very simplicity of the qigong that causes problems for people; it is an exercise that lacks activity.
An agitated mind needs entertainment and rebels against inactivity.

Once the mind settles, the senses become more acute and you begin to notice more.
This is the beginning of presence.
