When you find the joy and the sense of play in learning a thing, you learn it faster and with a greater sense of accomplishment. Then wonder can arise.

Tai Chi Chuan is truly an inexhaustible art. Every layer you begin to understand you realize there are ten more layers above that you have not fully fathomed yet.
In the wilderness of Tai Chi there is a narrow path that leads one forward to true accomplishment where age has no debility.
"If you engage in practice with any fear of it being unsuccessful, or with any craving for it to be successful, it will cause obstacles to positive results. If you have either of these while practicing, relax and release them, and continue without any fear or craving, and simply allow positive results to naturally arise."
~ Chamtrul Rinpoche
Relaxing the body relaxes the mind,
Relaxing the mind relaxes the body,
Sinking arises from the opening of the facia layers and joints caused through the mutual reinforcing of the relaxation of both.
Those who seek it in the Tai Chi Forms miss it.
Those who seek it in the techniques do not comprehend.
Essence is Form while Substance is Empty.
"Do not fight, just surrender to the posture. If you try to "DO" [Tai Chi], [Tai Chi] will be far away. If you leave everything to the posture itself, [chin] will manifest naturally, automatically. [Tai Chi] must not be a tool for you, you have to give up yourself for [the internal] to realize itself.
a paraphrasing of a statement about zazen meditation made by - Kodo Sawaki
The Masters Secret: The closer you get to becoming a "Master," the less being a "Master" matters. Until one day you realize through non-realization that one arrived without knowing how one did so, and yet Mount Tai's cloud hidden summit seems taller than before.
To train only for oneself and one's own desires and ego needs is the ultimate form of being double weighted.
-Golden Jade Tai Chi
One should develop a sincere and deep sense of gratitude for one's fellow students, for without them progress in Tai Chi is impossible.
At a very surface level, Tai Chi Chuan is a Chinese calisthenic dance for health and wellness, but at its core it is an ontological change of being.

Empty and full must be distinguished clearly. In each part there is a part that is empty and a part that is full. Everywhere it is always like this, an emptiness and a fullness. Throughout your body, as the movement goes from one section to another there is connection. Do not allow the slightest break in the connection.
-Taiji Boxing According to Tian Zhenfeng
Among the substantial and insubstantial there is also substantial and insubstantial.
Just like the Tao symbol itself, the Yang (white-substantial) leg's foot has a Yin bubbling well-root and the Yin (black-insubstantial) leg's foot has a Yang bubbling well-root.

Golden Jade Tai Chi Chuan (AKA. Sacramento Cheng Man Ching Tai Chi Group )
"Learning, practicing and studying Tai Chi Chuan is not a desire for a belt, or a race towards a finishing line. It is a long slow contemplative journey toward a sacred mountain peak that one has glimpsed from afar.
Along the way if one practices diligently and steadfastly one is slowly transformed physically, mentally and spiritually. Graced with worthy generous teachers and fellow companions the path is illuminated, difficulties surmounted and insight, skill and depth is slowly attained.
Joy and contentment is slowly gathered along with skill and sharing all that you know with others becomes the most precious of gifts. The Hall of Happiness then rings with genuine laughter and the Golden Spirit of Cheng Tzu along with his radiant smile warms each heart and spirit."
