    Are You Missing The Point?

    31 January 2022 / 0 Comments

    It’s hard to oversell Tai Chi.  Certain aspects of Tai Chi have been around for thousands of years.  There’s a good reason why it’s stood the test of time.  The list of benefits is wide-ranging and tai chi is a richly researched exercise, linking it to help with insomnia, stress relief, depression, improved heart function, cancer, diabetes, Parkinson’s Disease, balance, muscle strength, joint health and so much more. One of the things I love about Tai Chi is the depth; we can learn a simple form and that can be enough for us – the benefits can still be enjoyed.  But if we want more, there’s a whole world to discover; a notion of where the name “Tai Chi Globe” came…

    Photo by Cristofer Jeschke on Unsplash “You possess the ability to tap a bottomless well of physical and psychic energy…. With it, you can harness the magickal power of the universe. Yet most of us unknowingly block the flow of this power, and live out our lives not reaching the potential that we could achieve if we only knew how.” — L.V. Carnie, Chi Gung “Qigong is a jewel that has many facets.” — Ken Cohen “Qigong is the art and science of refining and cultivating internal energy.” — Ken Cohen, The Way of Qigong: The Art and Science of Chinese Energy Healing “Stillness and action are relative, not absolute, principles.…

    Father Of Tai Chi

    20 March 2021 / 0 Comments

    Tai Chi’s origin is shrouded in mystery, legends, and myths and is widely debated today. While the accounts vary and evidence point in different directions, the stories help to immerse ourselves into the philosophy. Who is the father of Tai Chi? Let us explore the varying accounts, beginning with the oldest attribution, here in part 1. Zhang Sanfeng (pronounced Jhan(g) San Fong) was a legendary figure in Chinese folklore, an enlightened individual who was in harmony with nature. He was one of the most highly regarded of the real people who became immortals, second only to Lü Dongbin. One account states Zhang was born in 1247 near Longhushan Mountain and…

    27 December 2020 / 0 Comments

    Science doesn’t know everything. But it is beginning to understand what ancient Chinese wisdom has understood for a very long time. Tai chi and qigong are powerful. No matter who you are, they can empower you. It doesn’t matter if you are young or old, healthy or frail. They can make a vast and surprising difference in your life.   Too few people in our area understand this.  In my personal experience, there’s a big difference between a) the number of people practising tai chi and qigong, then b) the number of people who would benefit.   Why? Is it because you don’t want a calm mind and boundless energy? Is it because…
