By Tai Chi For Health In recent years, 24-style Tai Chi practices have been continuously carried out. It realizes that it is not just a set of separate movements, but also a philosophy with fluid characteristics. It guides us to pursue the balance between movement and stillness, and find a space for ourselves with a peaceful and peaceful atmosphere in a life with rapid rhythm. The simplified Tai Chi moves retain the core essence of tradition and are more in line with the needs of people who are currently using to get started and carry out daily exercises.
How Tai Chi improves health
If you practice 24 styles of Tai Chi for a long time, you can clearly feel the significant changes in your body; the body not only becomes light, but also full of strength; the basic moves in Tai Chi, such as starting or wild horse splitting, look slow. However, in fact, the extension of each joint will drive a group of independent muscle groups to operate independently; in the past, every time you bend over or run quickly, it will cause the bones and muscles to make crisp and bright sounds, but after half a year of continuous and continuous long-term practice, the body unexpectedly miraculously restored its former vitality, and the symptoms that once appeared frequently did not recur. The teacher gave an explanation, claiming that it was equivalent to the fact that Tai Chi had knee bent, which strengthened the muscle strength near the knee joint, which was like wearing natural but unshaped protective clothing on the knee.
Every morning, after finishing a set of punches, you will feel that the meridians in your whole body have been opened, which makes the circulation of qi and blood smoother. Especially for those staff who sit to work for a long time, those movements that can stretch the body and twist the body can effectively relieve the stiffness of the shoulders and neck. I have a friend who suffered from mild hypertension. After three months of exercise, his blood pressure gradually stabilized. This is not a magical and surprising effect. It is just that after a long and deep breathing and gentle and soothing exercise, the autonomic nervous system has achieved a more balanced working state.
What should I pay attention to when learning Tai Chi?
When I first started practicing Tai Chi, my body and mind were all about the movements that were standardized and beautiful, so my whole body was as stiff as hard wood and stone. Later, the teacher gently pressed my shoulder with his hand and said: Keep it loose and don’t give up, don’t let it stagnate during the tight phase, and find the key to balance. These words made me realize suddenly. The essence of "explanation" in Tai Chi is not to completely relax, but to keep the muscles, bones, limbs, and torso in the most comfortable and natural state of mind under the condition of keeping the muscles, bones, limbs, and torso straight. It is like holding a chick in your hand . You must hold it firmly and never hold it to death.
Breathing is a very easy trick for novices to make mistakes. The purpose is to hold your breath and do the movements. However, in fact, you should rely on natural breath to attract the rise and fall of the movements. I learned to inhale when rising and exhale when falling, and the whole set of boxing seems to have a lively rhythm. The use of eyes is not just staring at the hands rigidly, but to look into the distance through your fingers to help open your mind and let the breath flow naturally.
How to integrate Tai Chi into daily life
Modern people have a relatively fast pace of life, and it is difficult to have a long time to practice boxing every day. According to my experience, Tai Chi is to "break it into pieces". For example, when you wait for the bus, you should practice the momentum, feel the center of gravity shifts between your feet, and carry out cloud hands during the gaps of work to relieve the fatigue caused by long-term typing. Parkinson Tai Chi even practices in bed before going to bed to assist in getting into sleep. After constantly accumulating these fragmented exercises, the final effect is significant.
Establishing such a habit of fixed investment and implementing relevant exercises is the most important thing. I will use the time I take out for practicing boxing in the morning of dawn as a moment of conversation with the self that is intimately related. This is the case every day, and there will be no changes due to interference caused by external affairs. On the weekend, we will invite friends who are obsessed with practicing boxing to go to the park to do their best to practice. During this period, we corrected each other's movements when practicing boxing, and communicated our thoughts and understood the true and profound experiences through our heart-to-heart communication. As time goes back a little bit, I don’t know when, the Tai Chi type is no longer classified as a task category, but becomes an indispensable part of life, as if we have to achieve the natural instinct of eating, resting and sleeping, which is so appropriate, comfortable and comfortable. .
When I was practicing Tai Chi, have there ever been such a sudden moment? Can I give my own understanding and feelings in the comment section to communicate and display it? Once I feel that this text expression can provide you with a supporting value, can I be more stingy in the like action and sharing behavior?
