Tai Chi Meditation

With Tai Chi Meditation, not only are you reaping the mental benefits of de-stressing your inner core. You are also getting physical exercise through the movement of your body. Like Yoga, Tai Chi Meditation practices controlled movements. This control comes from the careful use of the muscles in your legs, torso, arms, almost every part of your body. This leads to physical sanctity as well as inner peace. 

The practice of Tai Chi Meditation has also become known as Movement Meditation. In this practice, you do not sit still and ruminate; instead, you move your chi through your body to reach out and eliminate the stress that you feel. This is practiced through constant movement of the body. The movement is slow, but constant. You are constantly shifting your weight from one side to the other of your body. While doing this you are slowly and in a large circular motion moving the extensions of your body. Your thoughts are focused entirely on the movements of your body. The movements are in perfect control and alignment with one another.

When you have gathered a lot of stress and are having a hard time letting it go, one of the best known ways to handle it is through meditation. Some people may think that sitting and meditating on their problems is a way to add stress, not decrease it. But contemplation and reflection on the things that are causing stress does help to eliminate it. If you’re a person that can not sit still and deliberate on what causes your stress, Tai Chi Meditation will get you where you need to go.

Tai Chi Meditation has been in practice for hundreds of years. Its historical roots are still up for debate today. There are beliefs surrounding its origination, but no proven facts. What is known, however, is that it is an ancient Chinese practice and one that works. Its purpose is to channel your concentration into the movements of your body and align those thoughts with the focus of your mind. In this way you are releasing the stressors from your body. You are sending your chi or life force to all parts of your body through physical movement which leaves no room for stress. It is eliminated through practice of this method.

Tai Chi meditation is a practice that will continue to de-stress those who regularly participate. It is an ancient practice that has been proven. It encourages movement of the body in alignment with movement of the chi. Stress will no longer be a word that is combined with fear and negativity to those who regularly practice tai chi meditation.
