We live in a time where everything now must be “pain-free” even physical or mental training. Life and living will always be a struggle. And anything than that is not, is an illusion created by us. Outside of human society, suffering is worse and necessary in nature, for there to be balance. Whether are ideas and plentiful isms do not like it. You will encounter pain if your sinews are tight, there will be vasodilation and all these experiences will be beneficial. Vasodilation is good.
Ultimately the mind is what we cultivate and in training, we try to have the mind unite and lead the body. The greater the connectivity between the two, the better the Taiji Quan.
It is not unique to Taiji Quan but can be achieved with many other practices. This is also what makes taijiquan and effective martial art. With the mind in control, the power can then be manifested externally.
