hi i dont know if i am suited to respond, since i cannot relate to advanced and since my initial response to your question of "inner strenght" immediately brought out the phrases "following" and "the ability to adapt". I don't do taiji. I did years ago. Now I have a certified qigong teacher and know his lineage. In the beginning there were some sudden movements like "hiccups", then rocking and swaying. Gradually the positions in qigong which are quite similar to those in martial art, appear as spontaneous qigong movements where breath aligns with the expanding and contractions. Spiralling movements. My fingers and skin breathes. My body offers me counterbalance, and now my arms have started to "work on their own too" with similar circular moves also like in the video posted . The hands and fingertips seem to be most important! The only strenght I recognize is deep focus (talk about trance..) I dont have names for these forms. In a way I dont care. I know this is probably stupid. I dont think ill ever teach this though. That is the whole core. It just happens and has no name. I realise that I am intergrating the various blocks and punches, kicks and turns from MA (they have names, and so do the qigong exc.) but in new combinations. (testing?testing?hello) I dont will these moves , they come and go and are literally working on me, like water flowing through the system aiming at further straightening out "cramps". A strong, determined flood with one intention, preparing for..flow,......... then whip?. I guess. Maybe?l There has been preparation. Detailed physical training.

thanks for mentioning this. I've had similar sensations for a long time now, it happens both sitting, standing and walking and sometimes surroundings seem brighter. I feel just tall, or expanded like filling the room. Wondered if it was connected to the qigong or meditation practise.

Another great one is "Rites" by Jan Garbarek, if you want to get emotional try "The Moon over Mtatsminda". i dont understand the language but still it's just like a poem.
