Sensual pleasures of movement: tai chi and multiple sclerosis

Only with tai chi do I experience sensual pleasures from movement . Internal and external feelings become one. The pleasure starkly contrasts with the deliberateness and challenges of ordinary walking and getting around. Tai chi practice makes me at home in my body and the feeling is especially welcome. These feelings are present even when my tai chi form has multiple sclerosis wobbles and kinks.
