Taijiquan, Chi Kung, & Personalized Movement Therapies<\/strong><\/p>\n

Chi Kung (Qi Gong) and\/or Taijiquan (Tai Chi) training was a required (min. 2.5 years) part of my medical school training and I did both sets of forms. I don\u2019t know of any other medical program in the United States with such a strong focus on cultivating chi, i.e., electrochemical bioenergy, and becoming aware of the flows of energy within our bodies. Those of us who completed the grueling 3000+ hour training program in three years looked forward to these sessions to calm us and to center\/focus our attention. I feel more connected and body aware, even two decades later, since I have built on what I learned.<\/p>\n

Included in my Integrative Health Services are movement therapies to (re)build muscles using the safe and gentle forms that I have developed, regardless of age or injury. These forms require instruction, during clinical sessions, for safe use.\"\"<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

A key component is building the discipline needed to maintain long term wellness, after the 90-100 day training period.\u00a0 Our bodies can do without many pain drugs once we establish regular stretching routines, and I expect to see dramatic results in a few months among dedicated students. No equipment needed, just the time to connect Body and Mind.<\/p>\n

As an alternative, develop your own Physical Activity (PA) routines, including calisthenics, dancing, jogging, team sports, swimming, and walking. It is important to speak with a licensed healthcare provider when starting new PA routines. <\/strong>
\nI realize that some parents and hard working people may be challenged by taking on tasks requiring additional time commitments, even for personal health.<\/p>\n

Check out my Community Services Program (FREE). Using the ideas from these sessions, develop and work out your own Health Implementation Plan, perhaps with a neighbor or family member.<\/p>\n

Build Self Awareness and Confidence<\/strong>.\u00a0 All you need is Motivation<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Taijiquan, abbreviated as Tai Chi, represents the eternal spring, i.e., artesian, \u00a0of the Taijitu, in my vision. Its forms have gained a lot of attention in the United States and are being offered in many community settings, including Wilsonville (OR).\u00a0 Many researchers have worked to demonstrate its utility for healing a variety of mental (Mind) and physical (Body) health issues. I have heard from people leading\u00a0 lives free of arthritic complaints after long term and regular use of Tai Chi.<\/p>\n

As with all other chi kung, i.e., chi cultivation, \u00a0techniques, Tai Chi teaches us about developing increased awareness of \u00a0the root <\/strong>of our stance and the fluidity<\/strong> of our movements.
\nGreat for balance, limb power, and agility.<\/strong><\/p>\n
