The Art of Tai Chi contains ancient tools that are essential for resolving the conflicts we face every day.
But Tai Chi isn't just conflict resolution theory....
You train your nervous system at the deepest level to respond to threat and pressure in the graceful, relaxed way that has made Tai Chi famous for centuries.
Check out these playful "under pressure" partner practices:
You learn to:
- Handle incoming force, whether it's a shove, a verbal threat, or an electronic one (hello, 10pm email!)
- Neutralize threats by finding your root and learning to respond flexibly -- you practice this physically, but the payoff is also more energetic and emotional flexibility!
- Sense subtle, underlying tension that the other person is projecting at you before they even realize it
It all starts with the Internal State that you create....then each encounter becomes a chance to practice and refine your response, until you move through your day unfazed by the world coming at you.
