The way, the way.

The Dao you can read about on a blog, is it the true Dao?

The way of nature is twofold: self and inspiration.  Memory is the tertiary figure that is so destructive.

When the self connects to inspiration, the Dao is realized, and only then.....

but the mind is focused forward and not on the self....

so the Dao may be felt but not understood.

Man and animal.

self and inspiration.

instinct and meditation.

low brain, high brain.

innate skill and training.

The Daiji movement that comes through is to make two ellipses, one with each hand, beginning with hands straight out from the shoulders, coming then slightly in towards the center over the heart, and then down, then arching out near the navel cavity, proceeding up, then arching back across the shoulder to the heart, a full circuit.

These are the sides of the body, the sides of the person, aligning.  This is the achieving of balance.
