"The goal is to unite the various levels and not work in isolation on one of them. First, learn to move the body freely and fluently, then to release and align, and finally to find the forces that operate in the body Combining all these aspects with the mind, this level is one in which the mind and body learn to work together.The purely physical training of the body has very little to do with Tai Ji. between mind and energy, and further still the deeper aspects of the mind. During this journey the development of the connection between the Deep Mind and the Spirit can begin to grow. "

"It is possible to say something about it, but the true understanding of this comes only through proper training. There are different levels of awareness and intention, from superficial to very profound. Awareness and intention interact producing a response. Generally in taiji people train something similar to awareness but hardly know how to train intention. A conscious action implies an active / passive mind body, while an action done with the right intention implies an active mind / passive body. intention (yi) was deliberately kept secret, for example the masters Huang and Ma Yueh Liang, for example, taught it only to the most internal students of their school, transmitting it to very few of all their thousands of students. specific training method for intention is almost impossible to find in tai ji schools both in China and in the West. However, in taiji classics this type of training is defined as the most important. But even when taught, students must practice it for a long time before they really begin to understand it and develop it in depth. "
