Note:  in the following text

•  Each paragraph is a single move where all body parts must start and end their movements at the same time, although each part will be moving at a different speed and through a different range of movements. This is known as the Tai Chi principle of ‘synchronicity’.
• Please note that T’ai Chi is performed very slowly, becoming even slower as you advance.  'Slowly' is implied with every move.
• Breathing is shown by IN and OUT.
• Directions are:
• Forward / in front of (same direction as body is facing),
• Backward / behind (opposite direction as body is facing),
• Up (away from floor),
• Down (towards floor),
• Out (away from the body) and
• In (towards the body).
• Left and Right are abbreviated to L and R.
• Cardinal compass points are abbreviated to Nñ, Eð, òS, ïW, NEö, SEø and so on.  North is taken as the direction you face when starting the form.
