Wu Tai Chi Uses Slow Movement, Like Moving Meditation

Share With Friends

Tai Chi is meditation in movement.

Wu Tai Chi uses slow movement, like moving meditation, to calm the body and mind, increase sensitivity, and promote health in numerous body systems. Tai Chi focuses on using body awareness and relaxation that can then be taken into all aspects of life.

This Wu Style Short Form comes from B. K. Frantzis and his teacher and is a short form that can be practiced by busy people without a great deal of space or time, making it ideal for modern Americans.

Instructor Ken Keihn at O2 Lifesource in Folsom now has two new Tuesday night classes. Tai Chi at 5 pm and Chi Gung and Meditation at 7 pm.

Chi Gung is the basis of Chinese internal martial arts and health practices and is a branch of Chinese medicine. It works all of the body's energy pathways, opening and closing all the body's joints and tissues to produce powerful changes in the mind, body, and spirit. Chi Gung has been used to relieve stress as well as build health and expand athletic performance, flexibility, and balance while calming the body and mind for Meditation.

A regular Meditation practice is the doorway to personal freedom. Putting non-attaching awareness into our personal issues slowly unhooks us from their control and brings more space, freedom, and presence into our lives. With proper posture, breath, and understanding some simple principles of mind, freedom from our most pressing issues is only a matter of time.

John, Grace and I wish you and your family a very blessed Thanksgiving!
