I really appreciated reading folks'

thoughts about the meaning of this

phrase...so much so that I'd like

to pose a general question regarding

the relationship of the principles

of tai4 ji2 to the practice of Chinese

medicine.

 

How do people look at this?

 

Does such a relationship exist?

 

How can it be defined? described?

taught? studied?

 

These are not idle questions on

my part as I'm now completing the

first draft of a manuscript for

a book about the relationship of

tai4 ji2 and tui1 na2.

 

Thanks,

 

Ken

Isn't this an invitation to investigate who it is, in ourselves, that has

something to lose? We invest in loss of ego, loss of the one who has

something at risk? Is this the gateway to Wu Wei?
