Experience Tai Chi with Elaine Waters
My experience with Tai Chi has lead me to respect this art as a powerful tool for growth and healing. Tai Chi cultivates the wisdom of the senses and develops mind -body connection. Tai Chi practice develops one's abilty to connect to the moment, thereby increasing the quality of life.
Unlike exercise regimes that pound the body and numb the mind, Tai Chi exercises the mind and body as one. It teaches us to tap into our chi, or life force, and achieve harmony. In tai chi, softness overcomes hardness as moving waters can carve through rock. " Stand as Still as a Mountian; Move as a Great River" The slow, soft, gentle movements of tai chi develop balance, relaxation, alignment., flexibility, strength, co-ordination, stability, and awareness. Tai chi has been recognized for its numerous health benefits. Tai Chi uses movement to let go of tension. Tai chi practice will clam the temper and clear the mind, strengthen the central nervous system, improve circulation, enhance joint flexibilty, open the compression of the spine, lower blood pressure, and naturally improve posture.
