I went with a friend to a Tai Chi lesson and it was awesome. There was the geek feeling of thinking about Water Bending, but it was also just a lot of fun. Like yoga in the whole exercise-the-body-empty-the-mind type of thing, but my instructor kept reminding us how these moves would be used properly to knock someone's eye out or break a rib. It was so much fun.
Really though, it's very magical when such a type of exercise makes you feel so connected to yourself...in so many different ways. First, it's focus on the balance and movement of the body made you feel in control and calm, and...the fact that we learned "Repulse the Monkey" made me think of Xiaolin Showdown and realize that Tai Chi is officially awesome. But that aside, I think the best exercise does and should connect you to your body and soul, in different ways. And the calmness of the mind brought on by things like Tai Chi and Yoga is pretty special, magical, especially when the mind seems full and stressed. It's like proper prayer and/or meditation, but you're actually moving and all. It was just a lot of fun!
And because it's absolutely worth mentioning, as anything good is, the ending to (THE FIRST) Yu-Gi-Oh show is just awesome and sad and sweet. Even if things end earlier than you'd like, no matter what the reason, there is still the exceptional blessing that you knew anyone or experienced anything. It's truly a lucky thing given to us by God!
