Thai Chi Instruction

The practice of Tai Chi is for both experienced and beginner students. There are specific forms for each purpose. Being a part of a group affords you the opportunity to watch and learn the strategies and habits of others. Your instructor will be teaching you the fundamental movements of the forms. After mastering each form, you will notice the purpose and will be taught the details of execution. When you are ready to advance, you will be taught the fuller form and will be given the necessary ling exercises to execute it properly.

 

There are some forms which need to be practiced before being done for the full exercise, and these include some water forms. The forms in the book are usually all Basics and should be practiced before doing other types of the forms.

 

Find a local center and allot of Tai Chi books or videos to practice with. You can also find Tai Chi books online to practice with. Many are available in standard libraries like the Oneida Free library by Dr. Brian senses. This book is available on CD by Dr. senses and also by purchase online.

If it interests you,  You can do the Hypnosis or the Qi Gong. Since it is Yoga, both are very suitable. I would stay and practice the Qi Gong. Qi Gong is VERY good for stress reduction, and it also is a meditative exercise. Hypnosis is slow, proof, effective and long lasting.

 

accelerated Learning This would give you the edge for your meditation. Practice more and more, and practice it with intensity and consistency. It really helps the mind to focus for the harder part of the meditation.

 

gradual elimination Once you focus at the moment, it is really not hard at all. It is the sudden realization of the in-the-way; it is like a with sudden awareness and safety. It is the same as driving to a safe place, landing like a water bird after jumps.

 

Limitless supply of energy If you practice the full spread of the exercises then you will not have to spend any money. However if you want to definitely loose fat and slim down, then you can’t afford to have a limited supply of energy from the fat-burning foods. So you can definitely reduce your food intake and still lose the fat and have the energy to do the exercises.

 

Pertinence afterwards Some of the exercises may be tough after a while, but you don’t need to give up. You can carry on with the exercises after you feel you are done with them, but you can also go for a walk for ten minutes, or do anything else that you want after you give up on them (within reason of course).

 

Healthy life order Because Yoga helps to shape up the physical body and also helps us to be content with who and where we are right now, it is very beneficial in creating a healthy life order.

Benefits of Tai Chi

This gentle form of exercise can help maintain strength, flexibility, and balance, and could be the perfect activity for the rest of your life.

Tai chi is often described as “meditation in motion,” but it might well be called “medication in motion.” There is growing evidence that this mind-body practice, which originated in China as a martial art, has value in treating or preventing many health problems. And you can get started even if you aren’t in top shape or the best of health. (health.harvard.edu)

In this low-impact, slow-motion exercise, you go without pausing through a series of motions named for animal actions for example, “white crane spreads its wings” or martial arts moves, such as “box both ears.” As you move, you breathe deeply and naturally, focusing your attention as in some kinds of meditation on your bodily sensations. Tai chi differs from other types of exercise in several respects. The movements are usually circular and never forced, the muscles are relaxed rather than tensed, the joints are not fully extended or bent, and connective tissues are not stretched. Tai chi can be easily adapted for anyone, from the most fit to people confined to wheelchairs or recovering from surgery. (health.harvard.edu)
