Very Cat Chi

By Chris Leave a Comment

Just had an insightful lesson in Tai Chi from Hershey.

A lesson in how to sink your Chi effortlessly (how to become more grounded).

There were no words spoken. I simply lifted Hershey up of the ground and she demonstrated how ‘to sink the chi.’

Hershey Practising Tai Chi Hershey the cat (pictured) is a Tonkinese.

You see, when I try and pick Hershey up, she automatically sinks her body to the ground. But she only sinks according to how much effort I put into lifting her. If I pause she pauses, if I lift she sinks.

Her movements and stillness are similar to the the feelings I get when I do Push Hands with a human. Only with Hershey those feelings are somehow more sensitive and alive.

Maybe I should Push Paws with Hershey and learn even more.

I’m sure she will teach me (because I feed her).
