T'ai Chi at the Allen Center - 2011 Day 97

Five found their way to practice this morning for a 15 minute uncalled set. After the set, there were questions on Turn and Sweep Lotus and Bend Bow Shoot Tiger. Following Q&A, four enjoyed about 6 minutes of standing meditation.

Although I have often heard the term "belly breathing" it wasn't until recently that I started exploring breathing more than just air into my belly. Either last week or the week before I started visualizing the "breath" entering the belly directly from outside the body. This has had a profound effect on my meditation and the energetics I'm experiencing during said meditation.
