Most of my students who have practised Tai chi for more than 5 years and above were surprised to see me showing them only a first few steps so rhythmically and effortlessly. And they have not mastered the steps and performed it gracefully. Their fingers are hard and their bodies are stiff. I have been kept on telling them that theirs fingers should be like the petals of flower opened up gently and softly and their movement should be like a flow of a gentle stream. The sinking of the inner part of the body is like the stillness of a mountain so majestically. It is not the mind they should focus or concentrate. They should follow the inner flow of chi directed by the heart of soul.
This way can also apply in our meditation. We need to sit up majestically and allow the heart to observe the in coming and out-going of our thoughts and also be aware of the inhaling and exhaling of the breath at the base of the nose. The body should should be soft like cotton wool and the mind so be very relaxed. It will be better if you listen to the inner sound of the heart-beat. Last but not least we should not expect thing to happen. Let the divine takes over the whole process.

Even the teacher speaks the truth, just don't believe it, because you don't yet know the truth of it yourself.
Whatever I posted here, my students will click like.
One day I asked them," Do you really understand what I had written?"
" Some simple ones I believe I understood." said my students.
" I am surprise, you all don't practice what I had said."
I noticed a lot of fb friends just doing copy and paste some of the great masters sayings, I hope you do, will understand and practice what all these masters had written.
Otherwise it is waste of our precious time.
Lord Buddha teaching is not so difficult. " Observe your thought, speech and action." This practice will benefit all of us for life.
