Tai Chi teaches that in order to have internal power, you must have several connections. 

On a physical level, you must be able to move as one piece. Without full body integration, you are segmented and can easily be overwhelmed with little more than good aim.

To help facilitate the full body connection, the mind (Yi) must be expressed through the body- extending outwards. If the mind recedes inward to deal with pressure (as opposed to occupying the whole space), power and integrity are lost.

Although strange- strong emotions also affect integrity and power. Most are familiar with power from fear or anger because it is a natural response to hostility- but other emotions also have powerful effects on your body integrity, and even to others.
