The Chest

December 17, 2019 by CHEN TAI CHI ACADEMY

The chest should be empty. If the chest is thrust out energy is blocked from reaching the dantian. When the chest is not empty the dantian will not feel full. Nor should the chest be sunk or concave. The empty, relaxed, soft chest allows breath to be slow and deep like a baby’s breath that can be seen deep in the baby’s belly.

Use the mind to bring breath to the ming men, to the kidney area.
