Tai chi has again delivered some great lessons this week.
White stork spreads its wings has not felt good for a while now. What I thought was more of a timing issue turns out to be more of an issue with releasing. After talking with Sifu Dennis I quickly realized what was missing. I’d been too focused on releasing my hands and lost sight of the fact they are connected to my arms, shoulders etc. I wasn't committing to the release. it was definitely a aha… duh, me moment. In a good, way!
This has also led me to thinking and evolving my understanding of contraction and expansion, both internal and external. When I apply my new understanding of releasing and incorporating more of the body, I realized this will also naturally improve contraction and expansion and flow.
