Tai Chi for Self-Healing

The Chinese people consider body and mind connection and physical

activity essential to health. We continue to hear of the amazing

results from practitioners of this great art. We all have been

exposed to the slow, graceful, fluid moves of Tai Chi through the

media – advertising and reports of this great way to build the body

while remaining calm at the same time. It has continued to grow and

it's been practiced all over the world. Here in our own Tampa area,

we have ongoing classes at such facilities as University Community

Hospital (Carrollwood and Temple Terrace, YMCA, Tampa Palms and at

Aston Gardens, a retirement community offering adult choices for

active lifestyle.

 

On going research continues to confirm what the Chinese have known

for years. We are just beginning to understand how it works and how

we can all benefit from it. Researchers from John Hopkins University

in Baltimore had doubts as to whether this exercise/art of graceful

moves would have any effect on lowering blood pressure. They were

quite surprised when their research indicated that Tai Chi appeared

to lower blood pressure as much as moderate, aerobic exercise. Tai

Chi is a kind of energy therapy. The health benefits of Tai Chi are

a result of the mindful use of energy for self-healing. The new

quantum physics seems to prove that all matter at the molecular

level is energy in motion. As the research continues in the

field of mind/body medicine, more health professionals and students

of mind/body disciplines are coming to accept the ancient belief

that the life force energy activates all our biological processes.

 

Research further indicates that Tai Chi offers many benefits to

people 50 and over. Some of the benefits include strengthening,

flexibility, balance, and increased circulation to all parts of the

body, proper breathing, better concentration, and emotional balance.

Some doctors are beginning to see the benefits of this great art and

are encouraging their patients (those suffering from Osteoporosis,

arthritis, Fibromyalgia) to get involve with this type of exercise.

 

An article published by Time magazine praised Tai Chi as " the perfect

exercise " . The greatest benefit, which most practitioners seem to

enjoy, is the relaxation and sense of peace reached from practicing

Tai Chi regularly. No other exercise has been known yet to provide

us with a sense of peace and relaxation, while strengthening bones

and muscles at the same time. The physical benefits are obvious, the

emotional and mental benefits are hard to put in words – you just

have to experience it to fully appreciate it.
