I
usually practice my tai chi in the same space at home. I always face the
same direction. I recently learned that this practice places limits
on my practice.
One
day recently I faced the opposite direction to start my forms.
Sometime during the forms practice, I lost track of where I was. I
stopped and tried to figure out where I was and how I had gotten
there. It took a little time, but I finally figured out that I had
made a wrong move somewhere along the line and ended up facing the
wrong direction.
Tai
chi sets often contain the same forms repeated several times but they
move through those forms into something different. Somehow my mind
had realized that I was facing the "wrong" way. I ended up
moving into the wrong form after one of the repetitions so that I was
facing the "right" way.
Maybe
I need to change things up more often. How do you deal with this?
