CHI GUNG: This meditative practice incorporates and integrates both stillness and motion to strengthen the body and mind. Its deep breathing techniques, stretching and massaging of the acupuncture meridians, tendons, ligaments and muscles help to fend off disease and old age. TAI CHI CHUAN, based on the same principles as CHI GUNG, further embodies the expression of our intrinsic energy (CHI) in general physical movement and stillness meditation, as well as the deeply intricate movements found in the self-defense aspect of the Tai Chi form. Both of these practices were founded on the combination of Shaolin Buddhist meditation, Shaolin martial body mechanics and Taoist spiritual alchemy, but the first step in attaining results in these arts depends on setting the body and mind to the true nature of things. There are no short cuts. These esoteric practices have brought health, vitality and youthfulness to myself and my students, some of which are in their 70's and 80's. The only requirements for Chi Gung and Tai Chi Chuan are: determined practice of the principles and the will to persevere.
