TAI CHI as a path to enhance your Health & Wellness

The ancient art of TAI CHI has evolved in China over a vast time period originating within the Internal systems of Chinese KungFu. The now well-known and extensively researched benefits of TAI CHI stem from the unique methods found within it’s practice.

Classically described as the Shen guides Yi that moves the Qi – Spirit guides Intention that moves the Qi or Life Force energy – TAI CHI’s inner mechanisms allow for magical effects on the Mind Body Spirit trinity that we are composed of.

In the initial stage of TAI CHI practice, Song – Relaxation or Loosening is worked on throughout the entire body. This is coupled with breathing methods (Lower DanTian breathing) and Qi – Energy cultivation with specific Energy generation postures.

These are then combined to cultivate ChanSiGong or “Silk Reeling skill” – expanding and contracting rotational movements governed by thought guiding internal energy and internal energy moving the body.

This particular method of animating and moving the body from a Yi Qi – Intention Energy initiation driving the body motion makes the actual experiencing of TAI CHI very unique.

Often people wonder if they have Qi or whether it is easy to perceive their Qi.

When one considers that everything is Energy from the particles that emerge from the Quantum field to the atoms that compose the cells in our bodies – all is Energy.

So really the skill is to perceive Qi – which is actually quite easy – just that it is not something that many have focused on before.

Once you directly experience your Qi or even the experience your Qi has on your body then TAI CHI practice can go a little deeper.
