The Eclipse & Tai Chi
Last week, Ibiza experienced a total solar eclipse. 🌑☀️
It got me thinking about Yin and Yang — and about something I was taught in Tai Chi: that Single Whip can be understood as a moment of pause within the continuous movement of the form.
The form never really stops. But there are moments where movement gathers into stillness before expressing itself again.
For me, there’s something of the eclipse in that.
So next time you practise your form, pay particular attention to Single Whip.
Can you find that tiny moment of stillness within the movement?
And does it feel different now that you’ve seen an eclipse? 🌑
