Sometimes when interpersonal interactions take place we may react as we learned to when we were children, according to rules more appropriate to relationships between parents and children, or between children, than to adult, or grown up relationships and interactions.
This may happen between people, groups, countries, in many different arenas.
These regressive behaviors might often occur when we are not at our best, as when we are tired or ill, or otherwise preoccupied.
This can happen to anyone, and fall into the category of human beings not always being perfect.
The acceptance of such imperfections, both in ourselves and in others, may allow much more functional transpersonal behavior.
It may suggest the solution to many problems encountered in real world situations.
We can apply this principle to our T’ai Chi practice and it allows the parts in many spheres and situations to work together by letting go of tensions. This works for tensions of many types.The principle is the same.
When Susana and I used to walk our dog, Bud, sometimes he would see a cat. All of his civilized dog behavior would immediately leave him and he just wanted to chase the cat. We would say “Let it Go, Bud”. This Mantra might often provide the solution to many problems that we encounter in our world today.
Let it go.
Let go of the tensions, both physical and emotional.
Just Let Go.
Namaste, Daniel
