Learn to be song. Or sung. Or soong.

Rick Barrett in Taijiquan: Through the Western Gate believes that to be song, you should "let go of extraneous muscular tension and relax into the intrinsic support of your connective tissue."

Oh. And as Phoenix44 wrote, practice.

i did not know where to post this so...Last week something happened while i was standing...my shoulders loosened. All this time i had been doing what i could to keep my muscles relaxed. Yet, it was the joints and socket of my shoulders that i felt ...loosen. I had never thougyht of it that way before. I can accoplish this now while standing but it is not so easy while moving in the form! The elbows and wrists and fingers and waist come easily. i am waiting for the knees ankles and spine next. It is really interesting, am i way off in a wrong direction, is my question?

Respectfully,
Marlon
