Tai Chi for Health
Who may practice it? Any age, race, sex or religious group. No previous training in any form of tai chi, chi kung, or meditation is required. Both the sick and weak as well as healthy and strong benefit from it. The amount of space needed is minimal - an area of about three feet by three feet (a square yard) is enough. Nor is it limited by the weather such as cold or hot, rainy or windy, unlike most tai chi and chi kung forms.
Although the form is designed for Enlightenment, it has many beneficial medical effects. Dr. Zhu Hui had a major clinic in China and used it to treat more than ten types of chronic diseases, especially heart diseases and high blood pressure, and for people with weak kidneys or chi deficiency.
This form is also recommended to Seniors who might injure their knees with more vigorous forms. This form puts no stress on the physical body, and uses easy weight shifts and balanced movements to activate the Energy Body. Few seniors are interested in martial applications anyway, and will find more joy and grace in these movements. Seniors are also at a time in their life when they seek completion, and this form helps to achieve a sense of internal completion.
This form is amazingly easy to learn. It is so simple to practice you literally don't even have to think. This "not thinking" state is also one of the pre-requisites to allowing your own Enlightenment process to naturally unfold!
I urge you, with all my heart, to take advantage of this rare opportunity. It also makes a wonderful gift to give someone else. You have nothing to lose, and everything
At some point, each of us arrives at the realization that we are ageing. The conventional view of ageing has been that these changes are a downhill slide that includes loss of reproductive functions, a decline in cardiac capacity and a loss of muscle and bone strength. New research however, is challenging every belief that we have held about ageing. Many researchers believe that most of what we attribute to ageing results from disuse or misuse of the body and mind.
