How to use the intention Yi in Taichi (part 1)

In this video master Zhang Haisong is teaching us how to use the intention Yi when pushing in Taichi. In the first exercise he is using a leaf that is like a bridge that connects the two bodies. When you pull the leaf the two bodies connect and become one. When you push the leaf the two bodies stay connected. He said there is written in the classic treaties of Taichi that "when the body moves, the hands don't move". This is the first method of practicing Taichi and pushing hands. The second method is "When the hands are moving, the body doesn't move". In both methods it is important to use the eyes to direct the intention where you want the energy to go.
