Wudang Tai Ji Quan
Online course
Segment 1
Online, from 26 October to 03 january 2025
Tai Ji Quan is the Movement Art of Unifying with the Ultimate. This Art is a language built on the fundamental principles of Dao. As a language, it unfurls from basic building constituents, fused to make up units, linked in sequences, that are connected in the entire forms. The form is a poem made of phrases that contain words that are made of letters. As any language, one first needs to master the basic constituents before being able to write poetry, like a child first learns to draw letters through countless repetitions. The language of Tai Ji Quan, resembling the universe, is a fractal art that expresses the fundamental principles of Dao at every level of expression. The principles influence positively health and spirituality through harmonic resonance.
Roots : The foundation is solid, the roots are deep, Humanity is established in Earth.
Center : The Cinnabar Field is vibrating and pulsing, while offering stability at the center. The Gate of Life fills with Qi, longevity is at the foundation of spiritual life.
Movement : Fluid and harmonious, Qi flows unhindered in the meridians like the clear waters of a mountain stream. The body releases tensions and obstructions and metabolizes the crystallized stressful emotions, it expulses the old to welcome the new. The meridians are strengthened, the joints are supples, the blood flow is full, the fluids irrigate every cell, the entire being is rejuvenated. The crown, third eye, hands and feet receive Qi from Nature and communicate with Heaven and Earth.
Unity : Yin-Yang, Heaven-Earth, emptiness-fullness, inhaling-exhaling, opening-closing, giving-receiving - through the principles of mutation, one unifies with the ten thousand beings. Qi is everywhere and everything is Qi.
Spirit : Circles within circles express the fractal nature of the universe, the Spirit communes with the cosmos. Stillness within movement, the brightness and innate wisdom of Original Nature is revealed and illuminates the spirit.
