Learning and practicing Tai Chi (Taiji) can help you relax and relieve stress. Do you know it is also an experience of exploring Chinese culture and life philosophy which will benefit your mind and soul?
Taiji's essence is Lao Zi's philosophy of immersing human being into the nature and following the laws of nature to achieve life balance.
Taiji's movements have the following characteristics:
1. Many movements and postures resemble that of birds and animals
2. The body, hands and feet constantly move in the opposite state, Yin and Yang.
3. All the movements require the lead from Yi (a mind state) to the coordination of eyes, hands, body and feet.
Taiji is not just a slow and smooth exercise but is also a culture, a philosophy and a way of looking at the world.
