Tai Chi Chuan
Form
2. Pressing the Chi Down
Begin
with the unpolorized pose. Raise the arms forward at an angle to
eye level, palms facing downward. Then, while continuing to raise
the hands a little higher than the head, turn the palms gradually to face
each other. Palms and fingers should slant upward. Imagine
that you are touching the surface of a big ball. Continue the movement
by turning the palms downward. Then lower the hands to the level
of dantian, fingers pointing toward each other.
Breathe
in while raising your arms and breathe out while lowering them. Remember
to relax the shoulders and drop the elbows while raising the arms.
You can feel the chi filling the dantian while you are lowering the hands
in front of your body. Repeat the movement many times.
