用「意」不用「力」

用意不用力。意を用い、力をもちいず。太極拳でよくいわれることば。
また、太極拳では、「勁(ジン)」もしくは 勁力 という語句もよく使う。筋肉による「力」とは分けて考える。

たとえば、いきなり腕をつかまれたようなとき、つい身構えてしまうというか、ビクッと反応してしまったり、硬くなってしまうような「力」は必要ないということかなと、まだまだ初心者なおいらもはっきりとはわかってはいないけれど。

とはいえ、いやぁ、そんな風にできたらいいなと思いつつ、力んでしまうんだなぁ。

ピアノでもそう、ついつい「弾こう」弾こうと思ってしまう。


So, yes, I mean I'm talking about my piano practice, right? :D

In tai chi method, you don't need the "power" of muscle.
You just need, mmm, kind of sense? mm, I can't explain well.

Relax.
And naturally.

I think it is.


How about you?

Oh, it is understandable,I think.

Relax , playing the piano naturally without straining is
important.
I also know what that means,but actually ,,,

If you play a thousand times, you can achieve a kind of sense in a way.

Good morning
How are you?
Today,it is quite cold .
So I did exercize before playing the piano.

Ex tennis player Agasi said in an CNN interviw
''Playing is to discover myself''
It is cool thinking,isn't it?

Even the good player can be nervous and down over what he plays, I think...

Let's take it easy and face to the piano with a big breath. Chao

I quite agree.

Well, moving whole body is pleasure.
So, I'll go to practice tai chi in a sun shine, at first.
