Eckhart Tolle, in A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life’s Purpose (2005)
“
The painbody is to some extent mitigated by the widespread practice of t'ai chi... Every day in the streets and city parks, millions practice this movement meditation that stills the mind. This makes a considerable difference to the collective energy field and goes some way toward diminishing the painbody by reducing thinking and generating Presence.
