Peace

Principle:  Intention: Listen

Listen to the telegraph.

To hear in a push-hand situation means to actively perceive not only the movements but also the underlying feelings, emotions, and non-verbal cues of the other player, like the surface tension of the skin or body stiffness, to fully understand the mood of the situation and the overall context and dynamics of the interaction. It's about going beyond just movement routines to grasp the underlying feel of the other player and situation. It requires active listening to what is happening paying close attention to interpret the true intentions behind their movements. 

Being able to "hear" in a push-hand situation allows appropriate response by picking up on subtle signs of discomfort or anger through body language. By observing posture, gestures, eye contact, and facial expressions to understand unspoken emotions, players learn to interpret intentions accurately. Navigating these dynamics effectively builds stronger relationships between the players involved.
