EmeraldHead Posted July 19, 2018 Interesting. Can all Tai Chi practicioners expect this state in the long, or short, run? Â Is the word medha related to the medha nadi? What does it mean? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What does it mean? Medha means “wisdom” in Sanskrit.  As to whether all taiji practitioners can expect this state depends on the nature of practice AND transmission.   There are many who’ve practiced for 30-40 years with no significant progress along the spiritual path (or even the martial path).  My master says “what you get from taiji is what you put into taiji”. If you practice diligently with the right principles etc, you will progress for sure.  I’d say that having a jnana Yoga practice along with taiji will help immensely. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It helps if a teacher with proper lineage (not necessarily traditional) transmits the lineage.  After this, it will enable the cultivation of jing/Qi/Shen (like super-charge). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
