Hope you all had a good Christmas. As we’ve had our New Year celebrations, I thought you might like to see the details for the Chinese one. Sheila
CHINESE NEW YEAR
The year of the Dragon, starts Jan 23rd 2012. The dragon is a yang animal.
People born under this sign are exotic, dynamic, free spirits, essentially a law unto themselves. They tend to be extremely charismatic, lead high profile existences since they like the limelight. Usually very lucky when in trouble. Original and extrovert they brighten the day with their enthusiasm and optimism.
Motivated people who do not take ‘no’ for an answer, as this drives them on to prove the task can be done. Not very domestic as they like to be out in the world. They like their homes to be grand and opulent.
The Sunday events are on 22nd Jan from 11-4 pm in Liverpool Chinatown
Master Wong Chung-yua (ca 1600 C.E.)
T’ai Chi is born out of infinity. It is the origin of the positive and the negative. When T’ai Chi is in motion, the positive and negative separate; when T’ai Chi stops, the positive and negative integrate.
When practicing T’ai Chi, doing too much is the same as doing too little. When the body is in motion, it should follow the curve to extend the movements.
When you practice T’ai Chi, you should relax the neck and suspend the head, as if from a height above you. Internal power should sink to the lower part of the abdomen. Your posture should keep to the centre. Do not lean in any direction. Your movements should be constantly changing from the substantial to the insubstantial. If your left side feels heavy, you should make your left side light. If your right side feels heavy, you should make your right side disappear.
