Tai chi and martial arts expert Bruce Frantzis once told me something I’ve never forgotten. When he started out as a student in China, he told me that one of his teachers once put his hand out, and Frantzis shot to the other side of the room. He hadn’t been touched, but the energy from the teacher’s hand sent him hurtling back.
“That,”I said, “is impossible.”
“Of course,”replied Frantzis, “but only according to your science.”
