Why?

Why would you want to study and practice Taijiwuxigong, Taiji37, and Wuxi Meditation?

People study and practice these systems for a variety of reasons.  Typically, these reasons include improving physical, emotional, and/or mental fitness and wellbeing. 

This is a very broad and sweeping statement, so here are some examples of specific benefits...

Sport & Physical Activity

The more active elements of these systems facilitate improved:

• Posture
• Grounding, resulting in a centred and stable stance
• Core Strength and Flexibility, resulting in more balanced and deliberate movements
• Yielding, resulting in greater resilience against tackles and attacks
• Proprioception, allowing you to move your body with more timeliness and precision
• Orchestration of the whole body in any movements made
• ...

Artistic Expression

All aspects of the systems promote:

• Deepened self-awareness, hence better self-expression
• Improved breath and voice control, hence stronger, more precise singing voice
• Better physical expression, through the deepened rapport with self, and all points for 'Sport' above.

Health

All aspects of these systems promote:

• Wellbeing: developing and maintaining personal strength in mind and physical body, helping you to cope better with causes of anxiety and stress.
• Recovery: from disease, medical treatment, and loss.
• Self-defense: protection from attack by other humans, animals, and other elements of the environment.

Maybe I'll explore some of these points in more detail in later posts...
