In an important respect, T'ai Chi is an essence. Beyond the study and practice of this martial art, it is a set of principles and philosophy that guide how we stand, how we sit, and how we move. Practically speaking, we can apply T'ai Chi to any of our day to day activities.
I like these Shaolin exercises - the eight pieces of Brocade - because they're meditative and Qigong (i.e., develops and circulates chi). These are the fourth and fifth sections, so please look to my next post for the remaining three.
I practice them daily, and I do so, as I would any T'ai Chi form.
