Because it s based on movement and flow, some people even call T ai chi a moving meditation. T ai chi is rooted in the Taoist philosophy of harmonious living. <br><br> Because of its rich heritage, T'ai Chi Chuan has been characterized as the pearl of Chinese culture. To the Chinese, the pearl not only has great beauty and value but also is symbolic of great wisdom. At present, T'ai chi chuan is becoming universally recognized as a high level system of health that can benefit adults of all ages. But, in addition to health and healing, T'ai chi chuan encompasses philosophy, spirituality, and self-defense <br><br> T'ai chi's gentle, flowing movements have been used since ancient times to release stress, heal chronic health problems and slow down the process of aging. This is done through mind body exercises that develop chi, the life energy that flows within us. <br><br> <b>What are the benefits of Tai chi?</b> <br><br> Tai Chi training brings many benefits, including: toned muscles; improved posture when both still and moving; better balance and coordination; greater self awareness; and increased well being. The stress release and relaxation response created by Tai Chi also help general health and peace of mind. <br><br> Tai Chi movements encourage Chi to flow through the acupuncture meridians of the body and clear any blockages, to maintain good health. At the end of each training session, the energy generated is stored in the Lower Tan Tien energy centre. The Lower Tan Tien is a major energy centre located just below and behind the navel. As time goes by, you accumulate more and more energy, which strengthens your resistance to disease and provides a reserve which can be called upon in times of need. </span> </td> </tr></TABLE></TD> <TD WIDTH="1" VALIGN=TOP ALIGN=LEFT BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF"><IMG SRC="VLINE.GIF" WIDTH="1" height="920"></TD> <TD WIDTH="142" VALIGN=TOP ALIGN=LEFT BGCOLOR="ffffe7"> <TABLE BORDER=0 CELLPADDING=4 CELLSPACING=6 width="185"> <tr> <td valign="top"> <span class="ul"> <b> 1) Reduce Stress and Anxiety<br><br> 2) Clear your mind<br><br> 3) Improve your outlook towards life<br><br> 4) Develop Discipline and Self-Control<br><br> 5) Achieve Better Health<br><br> 6) Breathe Better<br><br> 7) Find the flexibility in your muscles<br><br> 8) Perfect your posture<br><br> 9) Lower your blood pressure<br><br> 10) Raises the energy level<br><br> </b> </span> </td> </tr> </TABLE></TD> </TR> <TR> <TD COLSPAN=5><IMG SRC="HLINE.GIF" WIDTH="779" HEIGHT="1"></TD> </TR> <TR> <TD COLSPAN=5 VALIGN=TOP ALIGN=CENTER><br> <SPAN CLASS="body">T'ai Chi India : All Rights Reserved<br><br> <b>Powered By: <a href="http://www.PartechSystems.com">Partech Systems Pvt.
