Feel Like a Spring

March 31, 2026 by CHEN TAI CHI ACADEMY

The waist feels like a spring. Feel the compression within the waist. Feel the stretch out of the compression as the head stretches up and through the back.

The tendons reach out. From the middle of the back feel the back stretch outwards and in so doing loosens the stretch. Empty the chest and the breathing will go deeper. One hair strength is used to pull up the head into “ding”.
