WHY DO YOU “SINK” IN TAI CHI?
The sinking in Tai Chi as written about many times here in deadlyduels.com, simply the letting of tension held by the upper body to the ground. Allowing for the sinews to become flexible, so that the blood can better flow throughout the body or the qi (pronounced “chee”) can flow more smoothly. Qi/Chi can be said to be energy here. And the more flexible the sinews are, the more the mind or mental force that initiates the release of tension from the upper body, can then relax.
So that one can start to be “empty”, empty of the tension. Think of it like an electric circuit, less resistance, better current flow.
