T'AI-CHI CHUAN is a Chinese martial art based on consciously aligning with the unforced balance of Yin and Yang energies that underlies all things. Whether or not you are interested in martial arts, T'ai-Chi principles of balance can be applied to any life activity to increase performance, efficiency, health and enjoyment. T'AI-CHI FOR GENIUSES is a practice companion, not an instructional training manual. Rather than presuming that the reader is a "dummy" or "complete idiot," author Gene Burnett asserts that there is an inner "genius" within everyone. This genius is a wellspring of intuitive knowledge vastly more intelligent than our conscious minds. Burnett encourages the reader to listen to this inner genius while he breaks down the often confusing and mysterious T'ai-Chi training into four levels of work: Bone, Muscle, Energy and Spirit. Applying these levels of work to solo form training, partner work, weapons training, and daily life, Burnett shows how you can improve the quality and clarity of your practice, eventually becoming your own teacher and student.

This article is the enriched version of the article published in T'ai Chi magazine in 2014. It covers many topics regarding the concept of of懂勁 "Dong jin (understanding the power of tai chi)" that could lead the practitioners into the Enlightenment stage, called神明(Shén míng) in tai chi. The importance of the new health concept called the CranioSacral postural reflex in Tai Chi is introduced in this article..The theme of discussion revolves around the following quote from the Theory of Tai Chi by the ancient sage, Wang Zongyue王宗岳 (around 1771~1853 ): "由著熟(Zhe shú, meaning to have known the movements by heart)而漸悟(Wù, comprehend)懂勁(Dong jin),由(Yu, from)懂勁(Dong jin) 而階及(step into)神明(Shén míng),然非用力之久(without a long period of practice),不能豁然(Huòrán)貫通(guàntōng)焉(cannot obtain a sudden breakthrough into the state of enlightenment to advance into the神明(Shén míng) stage。" My translation of "由著熟(Zhe shú, meaning to have known the movements by heart)而漸悟(Wù, comprehend)懂勁(Dong jin),由(Yu, from)懂勁而階及(Jiē jí, step into)神明(Shén míng, enlightenment":The chosen tai chi movements have become so well practiced that the practitioner reaches the state of 懂勁Dong jin, which means that the mind/body complex has established a new and very efficient pathway in the neural system. Using this new mind/body complex as the platform of further refinement might lead to enlightenment coveted by so many practitioners. One of the benign side effects of this new mind/body complex is its health enhancement to release stress with the practice of meditation. 神明(Shén míng) is a very vague term that could have quite a few interpretations. 神(Shén) as a noun means "god". It could be an adjective, meaning miraculous. 明( míng) can be an adjective, meaning "bright" and it can be a verb, meaning "to understand". In the above context, I think Shén míng means a "miraculous" upgrade of intelligence. Shén míng in tai chi is similar to頓悟Dùnwù, the sudden emergence of direct knowledge in Chan Buddhism. This will be further elaborated later in this article. I in our modern age after the 2nd World War I have never heard of any tai chi master, who has reached this Shén míng stage of super intelligence, especially when most people practice tai chi as a form of martial arts. Most tai chi practitioners are impressed by masters, who can demonstrate their superior power to push people flying up in the air. This kind of kung fu does not have any practical value in real fighting. It has never appeared in a real fight.

In teaching children Tai Chi as a self-care modality, I observed how effective they were at using their “child speak” language to help each other learn an entire Tai Chi routine in less than twenty-minutes. This observation inspired me to write this instructional Tai Chi book in a child’s voice, to help families quickly achieve the health benefits from Tai Chi practice.
