Taijiquan's internal mental training mainly trains the spirit, the mind intention, the energetic quality and the state of the body. It is neither an easy task nor is it a casual pursuit. Through a disciplined process of mental and physical adjustments, it enables the conscious state (for focus and intention) and the physiological state (for movements and actions ) to progress from the chaos of a chattering mind and scattered thoughts to enter a state of quietness and focused consciousness, where blood and qi flow unobstructed and the physical body becomes free of tension and stiffness. How can this be achieved? First and foremost, the acceptance that it is a long-term cultivation of the body and mind. Amend, modify, repair the physical and mental states that do not meet the requirement of taijiquan principles. Cultivate, nurture, breed the mental and physical requirement that are in accordance to Taijiquan principles. Implement these processes at all times without exception. The physical and psychological adjustment is the prerequisite for internal mental cultivation.
