I think the classic analogy of sinking/rooting like a tree can still apply, if you also keep in mind that the branches of the tree are simultaneously "pulled" upward toward the sun. This keeps the joints open, alleviating the unwanted compression and allowing the opponent's force to pass through your structure.
I must admit I agree with you. It is all about that balance isn't it? If there is a downward sensation of growing roots then there must also be an equal quality of upwardness, much like the tree. I guess my point in this video was that if we emphasize the deep roots too much, then we become rooted and cannot move. Instead we do have the potential to be rooted and move like a cat. That is what I'm demonstrating in this video.
Haha love the bloopers 🙌 I am looking forward to more teachings and future lives 🙌 My whole body , mind and soul is feeling the benefits. Would I be able to get your email for the upcoming courses and your book ? Thank you Susan ! I appreciate your time
Yes, absolutely! My book is nearing completion and will have a set of companion videos to go with the learning process. I plan on having a small group of "beta" live stream students to go through the modules with. If you go to my "about" page on my RUclips home page, you can find my email there. Or just go to my website and scroll to the bottom of the first page for "contact me." If I type my email here it can get hacked. My RUclips home page is: www.youtube.com/@internaltaichi I hope to hear from you in email. Thank you for being a loyal and engaged follower!
hmm when you said like pouring water and then something rises up, maybe it's like pouring soda drink? because the soda releases gas up and that gas can really put pressure on the bottle or other vessel...
Not fake. I honestly don't know how to get people to believe what I am doing is true. I have tried to demonstrate with random people with no Tai Chi experience, people that are much larger than me, as well as people that are my size. It would seem that after watching my videos you would see the natural sincerity of those individuals trying to push on me. Not all of them could be that good of actors! Anyway you have the prerogative to not believe me. And I was one of those doubters at one time too. Then one day someone did it to me and instantly I knew all that I had been seeing previously and not believing was actually real. This was a game changer for me. I wish you well on your journey and hopefully one day you will know that what you see in this video is real.
I do understand your frustration. I was in that place once too. I'm doing my best to communicate the quality and teach it however it is not a simple thing to teach. Ironically once you feel it it is really a simple thing to do. Keep watching videos, thinking about it, and approaching it with an open mind and one day it will make sense to you and you will get it.

Thank you! Thanks for watching and commenting.
NICE THANKS FOR VIDEO😮❤
You are very welcome. Thanks for watching and commenting!
I like it that you practice with a much bigger and stronger opponent than yourself, shows that the weaker person can overcome the stronger.
Thank you. That is one of the reasons why I choose people larger than myself. I want to demonstrate the Tai Chi principles is an equalizer.

That is a great analogy! I like it. Thanks for sharing that vision of upward filling.
Root full body to Aether
