Tai Chi & Stress Management


As we have seen, there are many ways to become stressed, but when most of us talk about stress today, we usually talk about being mentally stressed, and these mental worries, fears and frustrations of each day spilling over into our physical system. While non-mental forms of stress can be simply attended to by removing the stressor, such as the heat or cold or noise, mental stress is another matter. Yet just as in a condition of excess heat we create behaviors and systems that can reduce the heat we create behaviors and systems that can reduce the mental stress that is affecting us.

Tai Chi enables you to do just this. The technique it uses to dissipate mental stress consists of two processes: first it relaxes the mind and allows the flowing movements to reduce the stress put into the physical system and removes the physical effects of the stress itself.

Tai Chi’s flowing movements and energy meditations have the therapeutic effect of slowing down the pace and refreshing the body with peaceful relaxation and renewed energy. Tai Chi relaxes the mind and body circulation, cures indigestion, loosens stiff joints, tones up muscles and refreshes the skin. It re-establishes balance, both physically and mentally, encouraging your body and mind to return to their rested states.

The Three main aspect of Tai Chi are – Meditation, Movement & Breathing.
