The spiritual comes into play as soon as we agree to give more than our due and receive more than our lot. Giving of love, and receiving of responsibility. Two-way traffic. In other words, as soon as we recognise and accept our primary roles as the great communicators of the universe. Tai Chi becomes a spiritual exercise as soon as the student begins to understand and enter the world of Ward-Off. Such a tender posture of emanating embraces. It swells and it contains. It is irresistible and irrepressible, and if ever there is a homecoming then it is into this king of postures. Tai Chi then becomes an ever deepening journey into ward-off which expands into new domains and dimensions – of our humanity and our divinity – as we mature and develop.
And remember that ward-off is as much in the legs/groin as it is in the arms/heart.
