TAI CHI & QI GONG 太极拳 / 氣功
Tai Chi has a smooth, soft, graceful movement, but this does not mean that no effort is required.
When we practice Tai Chi Chuan the mind should be calm so that all intellectual and psychological strain disappears.
When practicing, your mind listens, sees and feels all movements. This is inner seeing, inner hearing and inner feeling. Gradually your breathing adjusts to your movements.
Through the movements of Tai Chi Chuan you can release all the tensions caused by daily stress and the accumulated tensions from your body. Getting to know your body through feeling is the beginning of Tai Chi. Awareness is the beginning of learning.

In de gewrichten zitten de pezen en pezen zijn de energie (de Yin). De energie kan daar worden vastgehouden, Door het stretchen van de pezen ontspannen de spieren en komt de energie in beweging. Daarom noemen ze het Dao Yin. Yang Sheng betekent “de energie cultiveren”, “de innerlijke energie in beweging brengen”.
