Jane, A few months back there was a discussion about using trees as broadcasters for preps and a few people wrote in their impressions as well as tree spirit's impressions and the general conclusion was that the trees had to do the work in addition to everything else they do. I was not really worried that Tai Chi practitioners would suck the life from all the trees, but that the effect could not really be dependent on good "spare chi" from living things in nature. Rather the practitioner must be able at some level to pull energy out of the void. Given the number of good TaiChi people in big cities, nature must not be the only source.
