Tai Chi is simple and easy to do, yet benefits

us on many deep and complex levels. Tai Chi’s slow, relaxed movements incorporate breathing and relaxation techniques that cleanse our

mind, body, and emotions each time we go through the gentle movements.

  Just as we flow through the changes of life our life energy, or Qi, flows through us. Qi is the energy of life and flows through all living things. Qi animates, heals, and nurtures life. When the stress of change makes us tense, we squeeze off the flow of life energy.   

  Physically, this feels like tension. Tai Chi and Qi Gong are easy, simple, yet sophisticated relaxation exercises that encourage the muscles to let go of tension, the mind to let go of worry, and the heart to let go of angst. Tension, worry, and angst all block our Qi flow.
