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.
Also, let's not forget the secret chinese massages used
not only for the body but also as the keys to self-trusting
and to physical harmony.
Using these techniques you can achieve many accomplishments
without having to put yourself through great psychological
or physical efforts, violent conflicts or aggression.
The secret -and the difficult part- is to master the genuine laws
of the universe.
The spiritual techniques mentioned above are just a few
of the many Chinese arts whose efficiency has been proven
along the centuries.
