Qi Gong/Chi Kung and Tai Ji Quan/Tai Chi Chuan
Qi Gong and Tai Ji Quan are human physical manifestations of the Tao: stillness and movement, softness and firmness, sensory awareness and response, Yin and Yang. Focusing on breath, relaxation, balance and flexibility can lead to an increasing awareness of both our internal and the external environments. There are many forms and and practices used to accomplish this: Wu Ji and Soaring Crane qi gong; Yi quan standing meditation; stretching; tai ji/hsing yi walking; Yang style tai ji quan form; stick and saber forms, among others; and push hands double exercises.
There are numerous health benefits to these practices, including relaxation/stress reduction, improved balance, strengthening of the body, increased flexibility, lowered blood pressure and improvement in bone health.
