The Truth About the Nature of Chi

Tai Chi is not some magical art that exists outside the laws of physics and energy in nature. Most think of ‘Chi’ as just being some sort of abstract concept of ‘energy’ in the body. Chi is not JUST the concept of energy flowing along the major meridians in the body, it is the synergistic summation of all of the subtle energies of the body; the electrical impulses of the nervous system, the compression and expansion of the muscles, the power of the breath and so on. This energy is ‘Life’ itself. This is true ‘synergy’ or ‘synthesized energy’, defined as the ‘whole’ is greater than the sum of the ‘parts’. Tai Chi is much, much, greater than the sum of the individual movements. The Tai Chi form is really just one complete form from beginning to end. One can never truely ‘master’ the form. For as soon as you reach the point you thought of as mastery, you will be wise enough to know that there is always more to learn since even though the form sprouts from ancient times and is in a continuous state of evolution and refinement, thus keeping it the ‘Grand Ultimate’.
