I am Allen Davidson and I am here on behalf of expertvillage.com and I am an expert in somatic coaching. And then the metal is the spiritual alchemy. It is the gathering of all the elements that we worked with, all the elements in the earth, water, fire, sun and the alchemical change that takes place when we transform those raw elements into pure gold; so that is the essence of the metal is scooping up those energies and transforming it into spiritual brilliance. So those are what I am naming and thinking of as I am working through so there is an engagement at an emotional level, there is the concentration on a physical level. One of the things I have always loved about tai chi is that if I am thinking about my day I forget what I am in the form and I have to stop, remember what I am at and to start over. So there is no dual tracks here of thinking about the dry cleaner, and dinner and that sort of thing and being able to stay with the sensation of moving.
