October 2006 Table of Contents:

The October Newletter is split into four parts, as follows:

Part One: Tai Chi as a Martial Art:

  • How many years of practice are
    required before one can
    successfully apply Tai Chi fighting
    techniques in the outside world? - Page 2
  • It seems that Tai Chi does not
    emphasize discipline to the degree
    that other systems do. - Page 2
  • Tai Chi has an image that is very
    different from what most people
    associate with “martial arts.” - Page 3

Part Two: Pain during Practice:

  • Should there be any pain when
    practicing Tai Chi? - Page 4

Part Three: Further Benefits of Meditation:

  • How does having a strong mind
    help us in our daily life? - Page 4

Part Four: Questions from Subscribers:

  • On Taoist Meditation:
    I realize that I am fearful of emptying my mind, even though I have gone past that stage in meditation, and have been able to do it. Every time I get to that point, it feels terrifying even though I know everything is going to be okay once I do it. I guess it seems like a little “death,” to empty the mind of thoughts. What’s this all about? - Page 5
  • On Push Hands:
    People have such different types of energy. While yielding though, I feel like I am losing myself: I become a chameleon, adapting to each person. How do I yield but also maintain my own goal and energy? - Page 6
  • On Tai Chi Practice:
    We learn the tai chi form very meticulously. How do we bridge the gap between including all the details of the form and achieving smoothness? - Page 6
  • Sex and Chi:
    Does sex without release work the same way Nei Kung does in increasing chi? - Page 7
  • If sex is a natural part of life why do Taoist monks practice celibacy? - Page 7
