External Stillness Of The Body And The Internal Tranquillity Of The Mind

Silence encompasses both the external stillness of the body and the internal tranquillity of the mind. The term "movement" refers not only to
physical actions but also to the internal flow of Qi or life force energy. The relationship between quietness and movement is fundamental, as they are interdependent. Change is impossible without movement, and true movement requires a foundation of inner ease and quietness. This inner ease forms the core of every Qigong and Tai Chi practice, regulating meridian systems and restoring the harmonious flow of blood and Qi, whether the emphasis is on movement or stillness.

To cultivate a quality of presence and awareness, engage in Tai Chi practice with a harmonious blend of Meditation, Imagination, Breath, and Consciousness
