    Can you explain exactly what "agile" means when used in this context?

    The word light is also difficult to understand. Does it mean to be relaxed?

    Agile in this context means to be able to move without distraction, whole body synchronisation. In the chinese language the same words put in a different context have a different meaning. Light normally is about weight, you are correct, in this context it means relax.

    Can you please elaborate on 'spirit'? What is the original word in Chinese that this is a translation of? Are there other terms in English that could be used to translate it? Is there any relation to the Chinese 'Shen'? Does 'spirit' relate to the quality of 'mindfulness'. Thank you.
