4 - Orono Weekly Times Supreme benefits of Tai Chi by Pat Irwin.Lycett • health improvement, • relaxation and stress reduction, reduction, • concentration and meditation meditation I've been asked to compose an article on the great benefits of the movements known as Tai Chi, a centuries-old Chinese exercise, designed by the Taoist Monks. Taoism teaches us to respect nature and the environment, to respect others, and to respect ourselves and our place in the world. All age groups can practice these non-strenuous, soft, flowing and relaxing movements to regain 1 natural health and remain in good physical condition. I like to think of Tai Chi not only as an exercise but also as a dance, a moving meditation, and as energy-work. Tai Chi produces produces complete mind and body coordination; the slow- turning motions loosen the joints and spine, and release tension in the body to allow a free movement of the internal energy, or Chi. There is evidence to suggest suggest that Tai Chi may boost the immune system, slow the aging process, lower high blood pressure, and reduce the incidence of anxiety, depression, depression, fatigue, and general mood disturbance. Tai Chi massages and relaxes the abdominal organs, contributing contributing to ease in raising and lowering lowering the diaphragm thus, increasing oxygen intake. An improved breathing capacity and balance (according to Dr. E. Vincent) are definite .results. Tai chi actually bums calories. It is thought that over 70% of doctor visits are due to unmanaged stress, and that the six leading causes of death are stress related. After a few sessions one begins to feel more peaceful, and to feel oneself more capable of man aging stressful situations.
