The last Saturday of April
each year (April 25, 2015 - 10 am local time) in hundreds of cities,
spanning 80 nations, people come together to provide a healing
vision for our world.
Tai chi (tie chee) and Qigong (chee gung) combine deep breathing
techniques, gentle body movement, and visualization techniques. Tai
chi is a form of Qigong and is an ancient Chinese tradition that is
practiced as a graceful form of exercise. It involves a series of
movements performed in a slow, focused manner and accompanied by
deep breathing.
Tai chi is a noncompetitive, self-paced system of physical exercise
and stretching. Each posture flows into the next without pause,
ensuring that the body is in constant motion. It has many different
styles. Each style may have its own subtle emphasis on various
principles and methods. There are also variations within each style.
Some may focus on health maintenance, while others focus on the
martial arts aspect of tai chi. I have been learning tai chi
locally for the past six months and, although some call it gentle,
it is still a workout.
