Tai Chi Chuan means \"the fist of Supreme Energy\" or \"the Action (strike) of the Absolute.\" <\/span><\/p>

Extending this, we could say that it expresses the spontaneous Action of Consciousness, of Being, the \"Wei Wu Wei\" (the Action that comes from non-mechanical action), when the personality becomes passive and the Action of the Supreme, of the Self, appears.<\/span><\/p>

That is why another definition of Tai Chi Chuan is \"meditation in motion.\"<\/span><\/span><\/p>

That is, when the personality (mind-emotion) is in a \"seat\" and I AM.<\/span>\u0399.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

The approach<\/h5>

A general and brief approach to Tai Chi Chuan.<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Tai Chi Chuan can be approached in three ways\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

-firstly as a gentle exercise that rejuvenates the body, calms tension and stress, and is suitable for everyone, without requiring special physical condition or special clothing.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

-at second glance, Tai Chi works on the energy part of the physical body and ensures the smooth flow of energy in the \"meridians\" (where energy, Chi, moves), promoting good health.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>

-At a deeper level, it is a meditative technique, during which, through gentle, harmonious movements, the practitioner tries to remain constantly \"awake,\" that is, constantly aware of what is happening, without mental translations. At this level, the enemy they face is the unbridled internal chatter that tries to distract them from the Now, which is their Purpose.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Practicing<\/h5>

Practicing Tai Chi has certain benefits for both the physical and mental-emotional aspects of our existence.<\/p>

It provides us with the opportunity for qualitative development and balance, such as gaining physical endurance and energy, as well as feelings of calmness, happiness, inner peace, and a clear mind under any circumstances.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/div>
The basis of health on which traditional Chinese medicine is based is Qi, or energy. All of its practices, such as Qigong, massage, herbal medicine, and acupuncture, are oriented toward correcting energy imbalances.<\/div>
If our vital energy flows harmoniously through the meridians of our body, then illness simply cannot arise.<\/div>
Of the numerous therapeutic approaches, Chi Kung, part of Tai Chi Chuan, is direct and effective. It acts on our acupuncture meridians and balances the flow of energy.<\/div>
\u00a0<\/div>
Tai Chi is suitable for the elderly, as well as for young people, the strong and the weak. A special feature is that it can also be practiced by patients who are recovering from illness.<\/div>
\u00a0<\/div>
The movements effectively exercise the entire body. Deep breathing regulates heart function and blood circulation.<\/div>
A focused and relaxed mind improves the nervous system and stimulates the body's self-regenerative functions. Furthermore, the emphasis on grace, gentleness, and the harmonious flow of energy is inherent in the development of mental freshness and the attainment of harmony, both with bodily functions and with others, as well as with cosmic harmony on all levels..<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
