YUAN - CHI

Tai Chi Chuan
The Spontaneous Way

 

Tai Chi Chuan is the physical manifestation of the Way; the Tao.
The mystical way of Tai-Chi awakens the flow of the All-Pervading Energy; the Chi, spontaneously.
This hidden technique is based on a natural approach to the practice of the forms of Tai Chi Chuan. It does not require any wilful control or interruption to the autonomic functions of the body.
In fact, the key to this method of Tai-Chi is transparently simple:

ENJOY EFFORTLESS FLOW


 

 

Benefits of Tai-Chi

"..The only difference in this particular weight loss attempt was Tai Chi which to me is the only explanation as to why I lost the excess weight in this attempt, and have been able to maintain the weight loss since. I have gained increased strength and muscle tone, significantly improved posture and balance, and a decrease in emotional reactivity when I am under stress. I have no doubt that Tai Chi has been of inestimable benefit to me.."

    "Tai Chi has a profound effect improving leg strength and balance on your feet. This extends to improving posture. Endurance increases and walking becomes effortless. Even when you are feeling weak, your legs will be able to keep you upright until you can rest."

    "..and, btw, one of the nice (and, at times, drives-me-potty) things about learning Tai Chi as a Westerner is learning a different way of learning.."

    Tai Chi Chuan embodies Chinese culture, including the values of Chinese Kung Fu and learning, derived from the teaching of the sage Confucius. Its philosophy is that of the sage Lao-Tze, the master of the Way; the Tao. You become one with Nature when your inner world reaches harmony.

    Snug in the cold, cool when it’s hot. Your body becomes more adapted to the weather. Beyond removing unhealthiness, Tai-Chi makes you super healthy. With mystic awareness, you become enchanted by reality. By-the-by, you may eventually realize it as the ultimate martial art.

    You can live a life beyond the grasp of ordinary mortals.
