But the answer we give usually surprises them. “The best time to practice is whenever you can!” “But, I’ve [...] Most people want to be perfect. Not everyone, but most. I recently took my 4 year old son to get pizza at one of the local re-developed town centers around Washington DC. These places, though very commercial, are often great fun for the young ones. That evening they happened to feature a local band which was [...] Day 9, Saturday, April 24 (Xizhou) I went up to the terrace at 7:30 AM to practice my Yang Style 108 Form Tai Chi with the sight of people working in the fields and barren 13,000 ft. mountains rising in the background. It was absolutely beautiful and peaceful with clouds seeming to brush the tops of [...] Day 7, Thursday, April 22 (Xizhou) Today began at 8:00 AM in the courtyard where we started to learn Chen style Tai Chi, the original, style of Tai Chi.

It included my favorite bok choy, steamed buns with bean paste [...] The Qigong State and Five Animal Frolics medical Qigong were part of the Qigong credit courses that we taught to holistic nurses at their annual convention this year. All forms of higher cultivation including meditation and Qigong benefit from the Qigong state. This video introduces you to the Qigong state and the Five Animal Frolics form [...] Here is a selection from the Yang Tai Chi 24 movement form performed by our very own Dr. Yinong Chong, Executive Director of TCCII. The Yang 24 can be very “Yin” or meditative when performed as Dr. Chong demonstrates. The Yang 24 form is a good choice for those just beginning Tai Chi who wish [...] We did Qigong in Jing Shan park, part of the Forbidden City on recent China trip. While there we saw this old man doing Turtle Walking Qigong and filmed video of his practice. The turtle is revered in China by the Taoists for its longevity. Several forms of Qigong and breathing are patterned upon the turtle. [...] |
