Tai Chi Chih: Bass Drum

Here we go with this week’s installment in the Tai Chi Chih “Joy Through Movement” series.  This time we look at Bass Drum.

*drum roll*

(Get it?)

Some key points:

  • Do what you can.  Push yourself, but not your limits.
  • The hand flutter in the left hand comes usually after about two years of regular practice and is a confirming sign that chi is flowing.
  • You may experience flushes of gentle warmth while practicing.  That is a good thing.

As always, I would love to get your comments on these exercises and their presentation.  Cheers!

    hi Trav. this is sooooo wonderful. perhaps you’d consider mentioning breath in each of these videos. your non-dogmatic approach is reassuring, AND breathwork helps connect mind and body in a grounding way, i believe, and is part of what gets that heart-rate healthier.

    Esther, you make a great point. Perhaps we can film a short vid at tomorrow’s class? ;)
