Is Tai Chi Really a Moving Meditation?

Recently while in class we were doing my favorite chi kung walk.  This walk takes me to a calm and peaceful place faster and easier than anything else I’ve done.  Afterward I was thinking about how tai chi is often referred to as a moving meditation.  This quote is what I believe is the main goal of tai chi.

“A free and silent mind is always in meditation.”

Your thoughts?

    A most beautiful and most accurate quote! I mean dose a bear crap in the woods! Yes and at this time at my present ability i probably agree the main goal of Tai Chi.
    Now where on the internet could i find the Chi kung walk you refer to?

    Grant,

    I really like this quote. I’ve posted the walk here before. I am currently revamping the lighting in my studio and once it’s set, I’ll look at doing another take of this walk.

    Thanks,
    John
