“Holding the ball” is a basic exercise in Tai Chi used to develop your “root” and to cultivate energy flow in your body. It’s simple to do, yet each time you do it, you will discover something new. When I first started Tai Chi, I preferred learning new movements than sitting in this posture. But the more I practiced Tai Chi, the more I appreciated “holding the ball” and started to have so much fun.
