Are you interested in Tai Chi, or a related practice like Qigong? You're not alone. Millions of people worldwide practice Tai Chi and Qigong to help improve their balance, strength, flexibility, mood, and energy. Tai Chi and Qigong are recommended to help you deal with joint pain as well as for overall strength, flexibility, and balance. What is Tai Chi? Basically, it's a form of martial arts that's practiced for its health benefits, for meditation, and for self-development, although some people use it for self-defense as well. When you start practicing Tai Chi and Qigong, you'll probably learn a series of forms. These forms include stances and postures that gently work your muscles and joints to increase your strength and flexibility. Practicing the different positions will help you to activate different energy pathways in your body, resulting in a more balanced and awakened feeling. You'll also learn how to move from one posture to another with slow, flowing motions. The slow speed of Tai Chi can be helpful for a variety of reasons: 1. It can provide time and space to practice mindful breathing, which helps you release tension while strengthening your body. 2. It helps you to increase your internal focus and awareness- or mindfulness 3. It can help you minimize the chance of injury, and more commonly, to correct improper body mechanics. Tai Chi and Mindfulness In addition to learning stances, postures, and flowing motions, with Tai Chi, you'll usually learn to coordinate your breathing with your movement. This can be another great way for you to relieve stress and increase awareness. You know how professional athletes talk about being “In the Zone?” Coordinated breathing and movement can help get you there. In Tai Chi or Qigong, you'll have a chance to learn simple 'energy awareness' exercises to help you develop more sense of your body.
