When practicing Tai Chi, stand erect, stretch comfortably and move slowly and smoothly. Be conscious of your breath so your mind is consciously moving with your body. Tai Chi's graceful movements will help you learn to move more naturally and to shed unhealthy physical and mental habits.
If knowledge is firewood,
Understanding is fire
Firewood gives light and heat
because of fire
Understanding fires, knowledge then gives
the light of wisdom
and the fire of life.
