Imbalance (with a meditative mind) creates a condition whereby our "inner self" (without our conscious intervention which incidentally is facilitated by our meditative mind) will generate chi (or internal energy) to "save us from danger" (because our conscious mind is more or less excluded and therefore can't negate that). This is the essence of activating our innate survival instinct for energy generation. <br /><br />PS: Well, we can philosophize THAT as "the junction of yin-yang" but for me such conceptualization doesn't add any extra meaning to understanding, nor to practice effectiveness. Too much indulgence on philosophizing might be counter-productive to practice.Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15867403006412320812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5020010160030365744.post-24775664062753283302014-06-13T19:24:26.587-07:002014-06-13T19:24:26.587-07:00Very interesting post as always. Stephen Hwa in hi...Very interesting post as always. Stephen Hwa in his book also mentioned that it is at the junction of yin-yang that the most chi is generated. I think that ties in well with your observation of imbalance to create chi. Would you agree?BeginnerTaiChihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14892697120298664771noreply@blogger.com
