What are the benefits of Tai Chi?

Chinese Tai Chi is a gentle whole-body exercise, which is good for all aspects of the body, and the practice of Tai Chi has a particularly good auxiliary effect on weak and mild coronary heart disease, tuberculosis, hepatitis and even cancer patients.

Taijiquan is a kind of boxing technique that combines both internal and external cultivation and combination of movement and static, and is one of the unique martial arts in China.

Tai Chi is characterized by looseness, quietness, softness, and depth. Loose is relaxing. Muscles and spirit are relaxed, and a natural standing posture is adopted for comfort and naturalness.

When practicing boxing, the movements are gentle and round, and there is no need to be nervous and forceful.

The tranquility of Tai Chi is quiet, quiet, engrossed, and distracting thoughts, which has a unique effect on regulating the function of the cerebral cortex and autonomic nervous system, and has a good effect on neurasthenia.

The softness of Tai Chi is that the movements are soft, coherent, not impatient, up and down, inside and outside, the eyes turn with the hand, and the steps are changed with the body, so that all parts of the body and organs are organically coordinated. It can improve the regulatory function of the nervous system and improve the coordination and cooperation between various organs, thereby enhancing the functions of all aspects of the human body, promoting metabolism, and improving the ability to adapt to the outside world and resist diseases.

The depth of Tai Chi is that the breathing is even, thin and deep, calm and stable, and the breath sinks into the dantian, strengthens the depth of breathing, maintains the elasticity of lung tissue, increases lung capacity, and has a good effect on enhancing the function of the respiratory system and helping tuberculosis patients.

Tai Chi is also based on the waist, and the movement of the waist can promote abdominal blood circulation, enhance gastrointestinal peristalsis and secretion of digestive juices. It also has a massage effect on the liver, can improve the function of the digestive system, eliminate liver stasis, improve liver function, and has a good effect on patients with digestive system diseases and hepatitis.

Abdominal breathing! Breathing peacefully and evenly is basically fine! Don't worry too much about how you breathe and go with the flow (personal opinion).

Breathe long, slowly. Don't think about so many useless things. Go with the flow.

First breathe naturally, then reverse pose.

The boxing proverb cloud starts from the feet, carries it in the spine, and forms it in the hands. It looks like a hand hit, and the actual force should come from the spine.
