Commonly people seek to understand new things on the basis of
old experiences.
This clearly has limitations.
It is important to recognise that change requires the
introduction of the unknown, the unfamiliar.
Many of the things that you think, feel or believe
will not aid you in tai chi.
The habits you came to class with must be shed
like a husk: in order for the nimble, supple, freer you
to emerge.
This process of unlearning operates side-by-side with learning.
As a student you are continually shown the usual
way of doing things, and then offered a whole-body
alternative.
