There is nothing like getting up early and going to the park and practicing Tai Chi! I find that when I am outside doing Tai Chi my movements seem to slow down more so than if I were inside. I am not sure why that is but I noticed that I get more relaxed and I tend to not think of the movements and they just flow as I go along. The cars are going by on their way to work and I seem to be oblivious to them but can hear the sounds of the birds in the trees. This is why Tai Chi is called meditation in motion.
