Our culture has saturated consciousness
with redundant information.
People are in an almost permanent state of distraction.
Concentration is limited.
The mind is trained to become weak, limited and easily
led (misled?).
Instead of possessing strong mental health, people are merely
facile consumers; addicted to trivia,
gossip, meaningless
second-hand opinions and shopping.
Tai chi and baguazhang forms require the individual to stay focussed and
present for a lengthy period of time.
The form is re-training your mind.
It would be true to say that every exercise, form and
drill in the syllabus also requires sustained attention.
