The Dragon's Head Blog: Letting go

My dentist recently made me realize that I was clenching my jaws. I was surprised by his comment, but in hindsight, I realized that I was often under tension, as if a background of anxiety kept me on my toes, ready to pounce.

I thought about how to eliminate this tension, using the tools transmitted by the Fung Loy Kok Institute of Taoism.  

At the very beginning of the Taoist Tai ChiⓇ arts sequence, there’s a little expansion and contraction movement that really helped me relax. It’s so discreet and portable that I can do it anywhere, anytime. This movement relaxes my shoulders and jaw. All the weight falls into my feet. My body expands, I breathe more deeply and calmness sets in.

Through my practice, I realize that this movement can be found everywhere and that, thanks to the Taoist Tai ChiⓇ  arts, I’m developing my ability to let go. Now the effects are spontaneous, the release has become internalized, and I feel the benefits every day.
