Tai-Chi is quickly growing in popularity here in the U.S. It is estimated that literally tens of millions of people practice Tai-Chi worldwide daily. Tai-Chi helps to rebuild one’s body, mind and spirit as it removes negative energy along the meridians (pathways) of true health, fitness and wellness; helps to quicken blood circulation as it brings about peace of mind (stress relief); and stimulates the respiratory system by the slow, deep breathing which is linked with form or movement. The movements of Tai-Chi are purposely slow and even, which causes the practitioner to become more deliberate in all their other thoughts and actions, as well as, increasing balance.
