Paying attention is probably the single most important aspect of learning Tai Chi at any level.

Tai Chi is the most sophisticated thing I have ever come across, also the most paradoxical and it just may be that attention is the most paradoxical part – it may be that the whole point of all Tai Chi practice is to encourage and channel us into paying attention to reality.
