Dear Reader,

In this issue I cover what I consider are the real secrets of Tai Chi.

There's also a Tai Chi tip, an interesting interpretation on Chi from Master Chia, a Lao Tzu quote, and a lying down Qigong clip that may be of interest to aged care staff. Plus a post related to sport, with a checklist for better training that applies to Tai Chi training as well.

Regards
Chris Bennett

Chi Is Bio Magnetic Electric Energy

MantakChia2

In this 4.59 clip Master Chia talks about Chi as bio magnetic electric energy.

He covers themes on 'aligning energy around you, using inexhaustable energy, focus and concentrated energy'.

Lying Down Qigong and Tai Chi Chuan

LyingDownQigong2

This is a long clip atb22.47 minutes. But worth watching if you want to practice Qigong lying down on the floor or in bed. It's from Acupunx and contains several short segments of breathing and moving exercises.

I may develop my own staff training program so staff can teach aged care residents with restricted mobility issues, in the aged care sector - if there is interest.

Ten Tips for Sports Training

SportsTraining2

Elizabeth Quinn's, Athlete's Checklist for Better Training post applies to Tai Chi training as well.

Her ten tips are guidelines I always try and follow when I do Tai Chi training.

The one tip I have to be careful with is over training because I'm tempted to do more than I can handle.
