Tai Chi- the moving form of meditation

Tai Chi is a fitness program that was developed to promote the flow of energy within the body.

Through slow flowing movements, Tai Chi increases strength and muscle tone, enhances range of motion and flexibility, and improves balance and coordination. As well, practitioners of Traditional Chinese Medicine believe that although these positions are low impact and low intensity, they have the power to break up energy blockage, and re-establish the flow of this vital force.

All Tai Chi movements are pairs of opposition, i.e. left and right, yield and thrust, etc., which reflect the attempt to harmonize the two opposing forces of yin and yang.

Ultimately, Tai Chi is a moving form of meditation where precision movements and controlled breathing are synchronized to enable the practitioner to flow with the direction of energy in and around the body.

Tai Chi offers a variety of quality of life benefits, such as improved cognitive ability, decreased levels of anxiety, depression, stress, and muscular tension, improved circulation, speed of rehabilitation following surgery, injury, or serious illness, and enhanced energy combined with an overall sense of well being. It is especially helpful for people suffering from Hyperthyroidism and Graves' Disease.

Qigong

Qigong is the ancient chinese art of developing internal energy and unlike yoga, places less emphasis on stretching movements and postures, and more on how to feel and move energy within the body.

Some of the basic routines involve standing still for periods ranging from a few minutes to hours at a time, to create awareness of the movement of energy in the body.

Other exercises involve flowing movements that are gentle and almost rhythmic in nature in an attempt to generate and conserve energy, rather than burning calories.

Although qigong is not a highly aerobic exercise, it's benefits include toning the body, creating greater flexibility and a tremendous sense of relaxation. And as we know relaxation is a critical step, if you want to heal your Hyperthyroidism or Graves' Disease.

As well, the controlled breathing during a qigong session helps to provide inner focus, relieve blocked energy, and increase energy levels. Click here to learn more methods:
