Gwen, thanks! I love this, since I am always looking for more images and metaphors for relaxed sight, looking with interest and curiosity, neither grabbing nor resisting. No use trying! 🙂 Keep up the good work.

Basically you and a partner place your hands on each other’s shoulders or arms and one of you begins to push. The non- pusher must relax and send the pressure down through their legs . The idea is to receive the push without tensing up. If the non-pusher anticipates the push and moves backwards they lose balance. Ideally you alternate being the pusher and the receiver over and over, never straining and staying relaxed. I love the connection (to me ) between tai chi and relaxed seeing. Thanks!
Gwen
