Relaxation in Taiji is always associated with sinking. Sinking because our tendency is to rise into doing, machination, plans; as though we ache for freedom from Earth's sluggish clamp and claim, which, of course, we do. But when we sink, where do we sink from? Not from aspiration, but from home – origin and source – of spirit: above, sky, Heaven, cosmos, God. And this our Taoist heritage, our pendulum truth: we spring from Earth and we drop from Heaven. The work a reconciliation.
