Flowing with the changes

April 5, 2009

Hey everybody, we have moved around the corner and just up the street a little at 215 McCormick. I really appreciate the support of our Tai Chi group. We are fortunate to have such a nice facility to use to play Tai-Chi. This entire month I am going to be handing out cards good for a free month of Tai-Chi so new students get an opportunity to find out about the wonder of Tai Chi. Please feel free to ask me for a handful of cards if you would like to give one to anybody as a free gift of Tai-Chi from you and Prescott Tai- Chi. In the mean time everyone’s Tai-Chi is flowing and growing, I am proud of the accomplishments of our group and I am honored to share the treasure of Tai-Chi.

What Does T’ai Chi Want to Become? World Altering

March 2, 2009

(by Bill Douglas, Founder of World Tai Chi & Qigong Day,  Copyright 2005)

“The great empires of the future will be empires of the mind.”

Winston Churchill

I see T’ai Chi as perhaps the most important aspect of humanity’s future. In fact, in June, Consumer Reports Magazine named Tai Chi the #1 exercise of 2000. Paradoxically, I realized just how important T’ai Chi was going to be for humanity, by being told to “let go” of just how important I thought it was. Everything changed for me a few years ago, when I went to a weekend growth seminar, and during my discourse on why T’ai Chi was “very important” to everyone’s health, one of the moderators interrupted to suggest, “why don’t people just do it because it is fun?” (more…)

Burn Calories, dump stress, Boost Immune Function-without sweating?

March 2, 2009

We must as Westerners understand that there is a need to express the theories and philosophies of Tai-Chi in a way that is easy for the Western mind to comprehend. To understand Xin and Yi one must simply realize the clarity and wisdom that arises as a result of quieting the mind. For instance the notion of Xin and Yi. There are not actually two different parts of our mind that could be subdivided in this manner. It is a way of speaking to teach that an overly emotional mind can cause one to be out of balance. Calmness directly experienced through the physical comprehension that Tai-Chi offers becomes a Physical foundation to build deeper mental experience. It is perhaps wise to say that when we have a mind that is calm and our emotions are in balance we make wiser decisions. The balance in our mind between wisdom and emotion comes about through calming the mind so that what is real can be perceived by the individual for themselves.No one can walk out the steps of the path for someone else. We can only so called “point a finger at the moon”

The Martial Art of Tai Chi

February 18, 2009

The Martial Art of Tai-Chi

Hmm, Tai-Chi—Kung-Fu.  Kung-Fu really is supposed to be referred to as Wu-Shu, or Martial Art. Kung-fu can refer to a high level of skill in making pottery, or weaving baskets or painting a fine painting! Kung-Fu can be any activity that takes a long time and a lot of dedication to develop skill in any particular context. Tai-Chi can definitely be Kung-Fu. (more…)
