Qi Gong

If you really want to deepen the spiritual and energetic side of your Tai Chi practice, simplify. Before there was Tai Chi, there was Qi Gong (pronounced Chi Gung). Where Tai Chi is a series of intricate movements, which are mirrored by an intricate flow of energy through the body, Qi Gong repeats the same simple movements over and over, focusing on breath control and on the movement of energy through one specific meridian or chakra at a time. By narrowing one's focus, it can become much easier to identify your energetic body, and work with moving that chi with your intent. This is a particularly good time to practice your Qi Gong, as Master Zi has a new class in it on Sundays from 10:35-11:35am. And remember, sometimes, doing less is doing more.
