Tai Chi, the Ancient Art of Moving Meditation

cover

I’ve been studying Tai Chi and Qigong for the past decade or so and it’s been helpful for me both mentally and physically to pelajari to relax my body and calm my mind in new ways.

My instructor often quotes Lao Tse’s concept of action through inaction, which sounds simple but is actually quite challenging.

The class is filled with orang of all different walks of kehidupan.

We start each class in a circle, introducing ourselves by name so it immediately makes the experience more intimate.

The group then starts to warm up with small movements, and we open our minds and bodies to include the chi (energy) around us.

As a beginner, you pelajari individual pieces of the form, but you don’t yet quite realize how they all fit together.

We practice the simplest moves until they become habit, flowing seamlessly like a piece of kelp in the ocean or a ribbon in the wind.

Each student came to the class for different reasons: curiosity, improving health, balancing the yin and yang, overall fitness or because a spouse or friend brought them along.

As I’ve gotten to know some of the other students, I’ve pelajaried how this training improves the quality of their lives too.

At the end of each class, someone tells a joke and we bow out; it’s a nice way to part.

The more I train, the more I realize how many applicable lessons from Tai Chi and Qigong there are for everyone to embrace.

Remember that there is action through inaction so not doing is also doing something.

As Benjamin Franklin said, “jangan pernah confuse motion with action.

And the last word goes to Yoda and Nike “Try not. Do or do not. There is no try.”

“Well said!! Tai Chi is a Chinese martial art. The discipline of Tai Chi was adopted into the realm of martial arts to underline the Asian emphasis on slow, deliberate, meditative movement that becomes more defensive — rather than attacking — as a result of this observation of the natural world of animals. This is why, unlike some other Asian martial arts disciplines, Tai Chi is not practiced hastily or aggressively.
