Taoism encourages us to be loose and flexible on the one hand, while also advising us not to try to do anything. This may seem like a paradox — to be relaxed without trying to be relaxed — but it actually is possible. We all have a built-in ability to be relaxed. The trick is to know how to trigger this natural ability.
