2 Parts Yang Taiji Form and a Dash Winter

Facing the Top of the World
There’s something magical about facing North…a pinpoint of stability in a vast, spiraling Universe. I wonder if facing South, if you’re in the Southern Hemisphere, boasts similar magic?
- It’s strange, I’m certain.
I won’t tell you what the magic should feel like and I won’t reveal why you should face the Pole. Instead…go try it…tell me in comments some of your profound realizations. There’s a number of great reasons to face North, whatever time of day you practice. Share yours.
Share your experience, not just a theory. The bigger problem is: we could sit here in front of our computers and theorize about what-for and why we face North while practicing form, but sitting and theorizing is…ah…un-real.
- Every day, Why We Face North is fresh, alive, and new.
Go practice your form outside…here’s a short show of me practicing Taiji by the Bitterroot River.
