When I do Tai Chi or meditate, my hands, especially, start tingling.?

Why? Is this tingling indicative of relaxation or tension?|||All things being normal (no irregular blood sugar, nerve damage, etc.), this is actually a good sign. If you practice Taijiquan (another spelling of Tai Chi), then you are familiar with the three internal harmonies: xin-yi, yi-qi, qi-jing. In other words: mind-intent, intent-qi (intrinsic energy), qi-fluid. Ultimately, the mind leads the intent, which then leads the qi, and then moves the fluids - in this case the blood. I would consult your teacher to go in further detail about this, but it would seem that you are on the right track. You are now feeling the circulation of your own blood (and qi) as you are practicing. Continue to practice and explore this phenomenon.





Good luck.|||maybe neither. maybe it is an activation of something. maybe it is lack of circulation. pay attention to it and sense it and try to see what it is.|||Check your blood sugar.|||Blue's right, you've discovered the "Chi" in Tai Chi! Hopefully your teacher will know the tingles, but surprisingly many don't - this stuff routinely gets lost in translation so is often overlooked as an abstract force rather than one that is actually felt.
