I was training my low stance the other day and my legs were getting wobbly and to achieve my target I had the choice of either using will power or letting go and just relaxing my mind.

Well, I just let go of my racing mind, relaxed and achieved my target.

In my earlier days I used will power to get through difficult Tai Chi exercises but that was counter productive and more tiring than training your mind to let go.

So if you find yourself using will power to get thorough a difficult exercise learn how to 'let yourself go' and you'll be surprised on what you can achieve.

I use aspects of this book as a quick reference guide when I'm researching a theme on Chi (energy).
