There are three ways to practise.
When you concentrate to improve and develop your habit to use the 'correct technique' it is the first method. For example, as you go through the form you might focus on moving from the feet or alignment of the body, etc.
The second method is to put your emphasis on relaxation, but without allowing the body to collapse and compress. Remember to draw out the bones.
Finally, practise with spirit. Here you concentrate to use your 'mind intent.' To do this you will need to know the application of the postures. So, the intent moves first, the eyes then lead the force and the body follows.
During this method the mind intent should not break or loose focus. There are a number of key ways in which the mind breaks.
The attention should not move to the stepping leg. Stepping comes naturally from the movement of the force and mechanically is often following the movement of the torso and the turn of the waist.
The eyes should remain open and not blink.
There should be no break between the end of one posture and beginning of the next. Likewise, after issuing a force there should be no break before rejoining with the next application. In other words the transitions should be smooth. Ultimately one should abandon the concept of a separation between one feature and another. For example between one posture and another, between self and other, between ground and foot, and so on.

Soup to Water...
I have been practising not blinking and definately experience a break in 'something' when a blink occurs.
You described this as 'the feeling being like soup and then you blink and this feeling becomes like water'.
For me, the feeling was more as if the focus and connection was clear - like a tranquil flow of water with no eddies or waves... and then a blink... is almost like a drop of water or a pebble falling into this tranquil stream... causing ripples... and there is a slight 'downwards' feeling and the clarity is disturbed and takes a while to come back into focus and for the flow to continue smoothly again.
Very different question here... I want to get into the habit of doing some tai chi in the mornings, but mine are invariably hectic (toddlers, work etc.!). If I only have a few minutes, is it best to go through the form or just do some of the preparatory exercises (and, if so, which ones)?

When utilizing social media marketing to market your company, it is essential to recall not to pay or provide rewards for others to write down good reviews of your respective organization. Within the very same vein, do not perform same to denigrate rival businesses. This comes across as tacky and unfaithful, and behavior such as this can often be easily detected by other people on internet sites for example Yelp. In the event you operate a great organization, it should speak by itself as well as the positive critiques should come. [url=http://www.ss12w12ws.info]Scan2122344d[/url]
