Abstract
Despite the widespread practices of tài jí and mindfulness, their principles are often misunderstood in the West. This paper shows the authenticity and integrative wholes of Mindful tài jí by demonstrating its overarching principles. It also provides an account of the lineage of a Mindfulness tài jí. The paper was based on the workshop at the 19th Annual Transpersonal Psychology Section Conference on 18–20 September 2015, Cober Hill, Cloughton, Scarborough, which aimed to provide participants with an insight about tài jí and how it relates to mindfulness, by learning some basic principles and movements.
