[1] In Tai Chi bill learned about the 10 points of alignment, he is going to develop these Tai Chi alignments to help release dukkha - full explanation here. 10 points for practice are:-
|
1 |
Head |
Keep the head straight and relaxed, using the mind to lift upward without physical force. |
2 |
Chest and back |
Keep the chest slightly sunken and the upper back slightly bowed out, which helps the breath sink to the lower abdomen.
|
3 |
Relaxation |
Maintain a relaxed state with no tension. Keep elbows and wrists relaxed and sink the elbows downward.
|
4 |
Center of movement |
All movement should originate from the center of your body.
|
5 |
Harmonise the body |
Coordinate the movement of the upper and lower parts of the body so they work together as a single unit. |
6 |
Body unity |
Move the entire body as one connected unit.
|
7 |
Smoothness |
Perform all movements in a smooth, flowing manner |
8 |
Substantial? |
Not sure about this |
9 |
Breath |
Breathe deeply and naturally from your lower abdomen, in harmony with the movements. |
10 |
Mind |
Use your mind to lead the body's movements rather than brute force. |
This 10-point alignment is far from complete but it is helping - he feels it s needed. Hopefully if the body and its movement aligned in this way, the dukkha will come in, do its work and be released without attachment.

[2] This alignment is adapted from chakra embodiment used in ZPAP. With the chakras aligned in this way it will help with "bringing in" the directions and skills of consciousness in tetrad 4.
Create the chakra ridgepole. Use any chakra model but zandtao uses 7 chakras - root-red, sacral - orange, solar plexus - yellow, heart green, throat - dark blue, forehead - light blue, crown of head - lavendar. These 7 chakras create a ridgepole from the root to the crown. Using colours or otherwise bring in healing to each of the chakras in turn.
