Tai Chi | QiGong Exercises
I was introduced to Tai Chi Exercises about 15 years ago and I have
used their techniques ever since.
the purpose of this website I am lumping Tai Chi and Qigong into one
group but they are NOT. Both have hundreds if not thousands of
different styles depending on your teacher but generally focus on the
same things: muscle control, smooth flowing motions, flexibility and
especially breath control.
Tai Chi is generally known for slow
forms but this is only a part
of the practice of Tai Chi. Translated it roughly means "supreme
ultimate fist" so there is obviously another side to it. It was first
and foremost a method of fighting and self defense.
Not only are these exercises good for your body they are extremely beneficial in reducing stress and anxiety as well as promoting a general feeling of calm and balance as well as enabling you to "flow" with whatever situation life deals you. I know we all want awesome bodies with 6 pack abs but the truth is if you don't deal with your mind then you are just a pretty package all wrapped up in a pretty bow with nothing inside. What a disappointment when you finally get it open.
Qigong (Qui
Gong, Quigong, not sure I've seen it spelled many ways) is a practice
that emphasizes breathing techniques and slow deliberate movements. Qi
is translated as air or breath but it refers to the energy flow or
electrical force that runs through each living thing.
I have just
been introduced to qigong but I am enjoying the new exercises I have
been learning. I use the slow deliberate movements of Tai Chi and
Qigong in my personal workouts because there is nothing better to improve muscle coordination, increase balance and develop breath
control. Another added benefit is the relaxation and meditative state
that these exercises allow you to achieve.
