How can you tell if your Tai Chi practice today was effective?
The next time you practice, try observing yourself:
✔ Does your body feel slightly warm?
✔ Do you have a light, fine sheen of sweat?
✔ Is your breathing natural and smooth?
✔ Do you feel mentally refreshed after practice?
✔ Are your clothes still dry and comfortable?
If most of your answers are “yes,” then congratulations.
This indicates that your body is entering the state that Tai Chi seeks to achieve—
where qi and blood flow smoothly, meridians gradually open up, and yang energy slowly rises.
