The practice of Tai Chi might be characterized as Taoist principles becoming manifest. Often imagined as the “Empty Vessel”, or a means by which we “empty” ourselves of attachments to stress, anxiety, anger, and fear. Tai Chi’s meditative states allow our bodies to release or let go of the energy that inhibits growth and change.

Though logic and reductionism have roles in our lives, they too often yield existential anxiety. Tai Chi is a tool which helps us cultivate patience.
