oppose force through yielding

Softness of mind

If the mind is rigid and inflexible, then the body will be too.
Mental tension is a kind of anticipation; a preparation for expected events.

In tai chi, we must learn not to anticipate and to go with the flow of what is happening instead.

Soft meeting

Soft meeting refers to the way in which we encounter an opposing force.
If we stiffen and offer resistance, then the force can enter us.
If we remain relaxed and allow the force to move us, then then it will not find purchase.

Force meeting force is not tai chi.
Force must be met with softness and yielding.
Soft meeting requires a serious degree of physical sensitivity and awareness within your body; the ability to feel the tension within the incoming force and to dissipate your own tension at the same time.

I once had a friend tell me that i was manipulative...lol

and when i was offended by that statement he said no no it's a good thing. You give people what they think they want until they are right where you want them...

No wonder why i like tai chi so much...
