Tut-ankh-Amon's embroidered linen cranium covering, marks the connecting point between the two hemispheres of the brain. The serpents represent Nun – absolute consciousness through the bringing together of the Ba and Ka energies of the Genesis. The rise of Heka from spine to crown was known has holding up the solar bark.Tai Chi philosophy is at its heart a mastery of balance and harmony. In this case between the relationships of the spine, our connection to the physical world (function) and the heart, our connection to the spirit (essence) each of which, both influence and co-support each other.
The ‘Tu’ channel at your back is ruled by your spine and the ‘Jen’ channel at your front is ruled by your heart.
The spine is the most important bone in the body but with thirty two joints it is easily prone to loss of condition.
It is said in Tai Chi chuan -“If the Chi is sufficient and the spine is correct then there will be no illness.”
The spine is often referred to as the root because it is connected to all the internal organs. This is why development and energetic condition of the (Tu Mo) is so important.
So awareness of the danger should not be taken lightly. The Root meridian originates at the soul of the foot grounding us to the Earth's energy.

The chances are that you are slumped or tense while reading this. Do not try to correct yourself by force or you can restrict energy flow in a different way.
Instead, consider the balance of spine from the top of the back of your head down to your base.
Relax and try to let the spine support itself. To assist this pump your breathing from the stomach, reasonably fast for about ten repetitions. Depending on the condition of your Tu Mo you should feel some ease in lift up through your back.

Two of the most common problems of the spine come from the head and stomach.
The head is heavier than we realize and for the benefit of the spine we should be mindful to balance it rather than let it hang on the neck. It may be helpful to imagine the crown is supported from above. Our head will commonly follow the eyes, so if you look down a lot try not to let the head follow for prolonged periods.
The second common problem is the stomach. If we do not use the stomach to breath correctly, over time it will begin to hang or sag. This will tilt the pelvis forward and so not support the base of the spine. This is common cause of ‘sciatica’ causing nerve pain down through the legs and progressive poor posture. Long term behavioural patterns can cause tightness in any or all of the spines joints. While you assess yourself do not overlook your sleeping conditions. A hard surface is recommended.

For the most part regular practice of the postures and breathing will repair your condition. As the energy begins to more strongly flow, your posture will more regularly take care of itself in finding the correct and most comfortable posture, but this will be aided by overcoming your bad habits.
“When the Chi is strong the blood is full which is extremely beneficial to the internal organs.”
Note: A sign of good internal health and strong energy condition can be seen in the skin, nails, eyes and hair.
