7. The TaijiFit Philosophy
The solution to bringing about World Peace, justice, and
equality lies in teaching individuals to find Harmony.
When one has found Harmony - when you are in
balance - everything works better. When you fall out of
Harmony, everything begins to break down.
Flow is a key ingredient in the equation of Harmony.
We get best at what we practice most; we get worse at
what we practice least. We practice Flow.
