You
cannot practice taijiquan with the rational mind. The most difficult thing for
beginning students is that they try to make the movements with their minds and
they cannot. The movements are too complicated. The flowing of the hands, the
correct timing, the bending of the knees, the breathing, the balance; all this
cannot be controlled by the mind.
The pianist cannot think of each note as she plays it, it must simply be there. Just leave the body alone. When we do not interfere with it, the body moves with the Tao spontaneously.
