NUMBER 1
The head should be
upright so the
Spirit (Shen) can
reach the crown.

Yang Cheng Fu, grandson of Yang Lu Chan the creator of Yang Style Taiji, left ten instructional insights to correct training. The newsletter will carry an introduction to these one at a time so they can be studied and relished.

To do this employ the mind (Yi), don't use strength (Li) and thereby stiffen the neck. The stiffening of the neck restricts both the circulation of the blood and the energy (Qi) to the crown (Baihui).

The feeling should be light, lively and natural, with the spine relaxed, allowing the spirit to rise.
