A paragraph from the chapter "Push Hands"
Different Energies must be dealt with differently: knowing how to deal
with all different energies is the key to good Push Hands. Each style
pushes differently, each individual has a different energy; their
styles and energies could range from black to white, through every
shade of grey. There is no one way of making the basic circles that is
superior to the others; there are many variations, but all should
follow the Taiji principles. Power, speed, agility and techniques are
the physical factors; discipline, experience, trickery and heart are
the internal factors. There is always going to be someone who is
better than you in one or more aspects, so you must prepare and know
how to deal with it, and learn from it.

Red Book
Taiji can be practiced while
walking, standing or lying down. Always use Taiji principles and
work on Taiji, in any situation. For example, try to pick up a cup
or glass using a lot of energy and then with very little. Pay
attention while walking, are your steps heavy or light? Compare
standing with knees locked and then bent, with hips relaxed or on
one foot versus both. These are all excellent learning experiences.
