Opening the Ming Men Point; Life Gate in your Tai Chi Stance #mingmen #taichistance #posture

This is a short Tai Chi lesson on how to open up the Ming Men point. The Ming Men point is the area of your lower back directly opposite of your Dan Tian. Most people misinterpret what to do with this area, creating a "C" shape with their torso by tucking in the tailbone. However, this is often overly executed and misunderstood. This brief video walks you through some simple strategies of finding the "sweet spot" in your Tai Chi stance by gently opening the Ming Men point through positioning of the lower and middle Kua, rather than focusing on the tail bone. When done correctly you will feel a expanded presence with low back opening. Yang 24 (lessons 1 - 13).
