It will feel like an electric connection (of being plugged into something from the crown point) after a few months of sincere practice.<br /><br />Some of the best Taiji practitioners I've seen are from the Temple style taiji system as taught by Master Liao and that's how we are taught. The weight will naturally drop to the feet and farther below the energy if one can suspend from the Crown point.<br /><br />If you can't move the energy between the feet while you have the "top light, bottom heavy", you will run the risk of being double weighted. The "clearly separate the substantial and the insubstantial" works on multiple levels, not just a top-bottom, but also left-right, front-back, etc.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3926482844100900134.post-88408982060295092792010-04-16T08:46:53.058-04:002010-04-16T08:46:53.058-04:00Nice...
