to
improve health and vitality
"Journal of
the American Medical
Association" found that Tai Chi
can help improve the balance of
the elderly
and help reduce the risk of
falling. In fact, in comparison
to other exercises, including
weight training,
stretching, endurance training,
and balance training, Tai Chi
was the most beneficial
exercise,"
(JAMA , May 3, 1995, Vol 273).
Many studies have shown Tai Chi
can reduce stress, enhance mental
agility, strengthen the immune
system, lower high blood pressure,
increase balance and reduce falls.
Regular practice of Tai Chi can
improve circulation and maintain
the flexibility and strength of
joints.
Tai Chi exercise is a part of the
4,000 year-old system of
Traditional Chinese Medicine and
is characterized by a series of
slow, gentle, dance-like movements
performed in a relaxed and
conscious manner. Tai Chi
synchronizes body movements with
our breathing to foster peace and
serenity within.. The purpose of
practicing Tai Chi is to tame our
minds and to cultivate the flow of
energy (Qi) throughout the whole
body. Tai Chi, in essence, is
really a form of meditation in
motion to improve our overall
health.
