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 |
"..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.
