Monday Morning Tai Chi Training Tip # 365
Marvelous Hands
The hands are the fine tools of the internal arts practitioner. They have to be able to sense and convey to the brain the most subtle messages, as well as, when needed, being able to concentrate and emit a most powerful force.
There are up to 21,000 sensors of heat, pressure, and pain per square inch in the fingertips. One sixth of all the bodies muscles are devoted to hand movements. A single hand movement can involve as many as 50 muscles working together.
Take a moment to look at the incredible objects you have attached to the ends of your arms and marvel at the wonder that you see. Take good care of these fine tools and they will serve you well, all of your life.
