THE SIGNIFICANCE OF BODY-MOVEMENT
Body-Movement
Many people talk about “shen-fa” or body-movement in Taijiquan. If both your hands are “closed” and you have been pressed back into an awkward position, an effective way to counter this is to use body-movement. The movement comes from the waist, and the exponent's arms do not move much although there is a huge shift of arm position. Body-movement harmonizes with hand-movement and footwork, constituting the three external harmonies. The movement must be elegant, the internal energy flowing and the mind focused and relaxed, constituting the three internal harmonies.
