Grounding is a concept which should be at the heart of everyone's tai chi training but can often be difficult to achieve. Literally we are looking to establish a deeper connection to the ground, both physically and mentally. With a few simple words and body actions Michael Ploetz provides a sense of what it is to achieve this desired state and how it can serve us, not only in our training, but also in everyday life.
