I love going to the gym because it can exercise muscles more effectively than other sports, and with muscles, there is less fat, which makes the body lines come out. My father once watched me iron clothes in the gym and couldn't help saying, good man. I think I'm a little less feminine, but fortunately, I consciously tried to dance to balance the masculinity I learned in this gym, which seems a little too strong. It turns out that subconsciously I am also pursuing both rigidity and softness.
The teacher said: the body should be soft, as soft as cotton. It should not be rigid and closed, but should be like water. While Tai Ji Chuan is mobile, you can feel the combination of rigidity and softness. There is a power here, it is complete, and it makes our bodies neither fat nor thin. There should be some fat, and there should be no fat. It also makes our bodies soft, but once we exert ourselves and feel the strength, our bodies will be tight, which is elasticity. The body should be elastic, soft and powerful, and more importantly, energetic.
Not only the body needs to be elastic, but also the mind needs it. Now more and more people are suffering from depression, probably because they can't stand the blow of life. Climb high and fall badly. Just like a stone, it may shatter when it encounters some external force. And if our psychology can be like a sponge, it can be squeezed and expanded, and it can cope with external changes freely, which is elasticity.
The teacher also said: Be able to bear it, let it go, and be gentle when you lose your temper. This is steel tenderness. It can be fine or rough. More receptive to all kinds of setbacks in life. Can accept love and give love. Only people with real mental health can pay attention to it and do it. You can live a rich life or a poor life. This is psychological resilience.
Tai Chi Sheng, Tai Chi Sheng and Tai Chi Culture are traditional cultures in China, and the culture of the unity of Yin and Yang and the unity of man and nature is also connected with them. Ok, study Tai Chi and psychology with the teacher.
May we live as flexibly as running water and sponges.
