WUJI AND TAIJI

Chapter 28 of the Daodejing has these words: "constant virtue never changes: return to the limitless."

“Limitless” is wuji, 無極. The term also means “everlasting” (if there’s no limit, there’s no end). Wu, 無, means “no.” Ji, 極, means limit in the sense of “most extreme.” The word wuji first appears in the Daodejing, and it’s still used in philosophy today. By contrast, taiji, 太極, means the ultimate limits. Tai, 太, means “ultimate.” Look at a yin-yang symbol: the outer circumference represents the ultimate limits of that phenomenon.

According to the ancients, Wuji leads to Taiji. The Limitless leads to the Ultimate Limits. The Limitless cannot be differentiated. The Ultimate Limits can be differentiated according to yin and yang.

When we practice Taijiquan, we begin with our hands at our sides and our feet together. This represents Wuji. As soon as we move, we are in Taiji. Everything is yin and yang then. Front, back. Up, down. Forward, rearward. We are slow and gentle so we can feel Dao itself.

As the set ends, ideally on the exact spot from which we started, we return to Wuji.

“Constant virtue never changes: return to the limitless."

In Western medicine, the spleen is a soft, fist-sized organ that sits just below the ribcage on the left side. Its main roles are to filter blood, recycle old red blood cells, and help fight infection as part of the immune system. While it serves useful functions, the spleen is often thought of as non-essential.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the Spleen (pí) is far from a secondary player and is seen as the center of postnatal health... the main organ responsible for transforming food and drink into qì, blood, and other vital substances that nourish the entire body. Together with the stomach, it forms the foundation of digestion and is often called the "root of later heaven," meaning it sustains life after birth.
