Mind Power - Chinese techniques for your health and strength

Tai Chi Chuan - the wonder dance
This is how it looks like: very early in the silence of the morning, hundreds of people, alone or in large groups , perform apparently a weird gymnastics, with waving movements. The eternity of the universe and the rhythm of its permanent changes have induced the idea that the human being can become immortal if he adapts to and follows this rhythm. This method combines the subtle side of the human being (mental control, spiritual progress etc) and also his physical side (bones, muscles, articulation etc). Whenever you feel intellectually or physically tired, Tai Chi Chuan gives you the possibility to gain back, in only a few minutes, your strength and harmony.

Chi Kung, or the art of internal harmony
Chi Kung is a complex philosophical system at least 5000 old, which became very popular at the beginning of this millennium. This art of the vital energy is a very advanced and complex method of improving health and longevity, by offering a feeling of harmony with yourself and with the surrounding world. This technique takes into consideration four main principles: the mind, the eyes, the movement and the breathing.

The mind represents the intention, the eyes are considered the focusing of intention, the movement is the action of intention and the breathing is flood of intention. Although looks simple, it takes time and practice to understand and master profoundly their dynamics.

The practice of Chi Kung bring a lot of benefits, such as a better general health state and an increased vitality, even anti-aging effects. This technique is also a training of the mind and improves the intellectual capacities.

According to Chinese medicine, many diseases are the result of a subtle disequilibrium that make the vital energy to diminish or to be present in only certain parts of your body. By practicing Chi Kung you become more conscious of what’s going on in your inner universe and learn to build yourself a defensive system against the disequilibrium, which affects your vital force. The harmony of breathing and the agility obtained during the training sessions, confer a better concentration and a fast recovery from stress and tiredness.
