Tai Chi is for Me and You Too!

During the month of July I attended the National Wellness Institute in Wisconsin and received an intensive training certificate to facilitate Therapeutic Tai Chi and Qigong. I did the training for my own benefit but was encouraged by my teacher Dr. Roger Jahnke to offer it to my employees and clients. I began leading sessions in August and the participants have reported  impressive health gains including, lower blood pressure, lowered blood sugar, greater flexibility, less pain and anxiety. My personal trainers have noticed that I have greater flexibility and balance. It is amazing is how word has traveled about the sessions. I never know who is going to show up and folks from our community that I have never met have joined us. Western science has now embraced mindful movement and meditation for healing and stress relief. This practice requires a folding chair and all movements are taught from a seated position. The key health benefits of Tai Chi and Qigong include:

Stress Relief-Induces a relaxed, meditative state of mind that helps relieve stress

Balance-Emphasis on good posture and shifting of weight from foot to foot improves balance

Heart Health-Lowers your heart rate, lowers blood pressure, and increases circulation by dilating the blood vessels.

Immune Boost-Gets your lymph flowing,eliminating waste and toxins and carrying specialized immune cells to fight disease.

Mental Focus-Calms your mind by slowing down brain wave patterns and improving focus and attention. Tai Chi and Qigong uses the power of healing imagery and affirmation which helps to promote a positive attitude.
