What’s Happening

Mar 6th, 2019

We are in March, autumn now. In Chinese medicine, autumn is associated with metal and the lungs. In autumn we move from the external, expansive nature of summer to the internal, contractive nature of autumn.

It is a good time to begin new projects that focus more on the internal- cultivating body and mind and becoming more introspective. The energy of the lungs is “letting go”, so autumn is a good time to be mindful to let go of anything we may be holding on to so we can make room for new experiences that will help us to learn and grow.

A new Journal of Neuroimaging study in 2018 provides insights into the biochemical mechanisms by which Tai Chi — a mind-body exercise, improves brain metabolism and muscle energetics in…… I got rid of the last bit though. To see the article, https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/04/180419100204.htm

I personally don’t agree with the social impression that Tai Chi is primarily related to older adults. I started Tai Chi training when I was five. It benefits my whole life. All I can say is Lucky Me!  How many health issues (physical and mental health) are the young and middle-aged group facing every day? Just mention a few: stress, sleep deprivation, loneliness, no energy, lack of concentration, chronic pain…

Tai Chi is not excluding anyone; Tai Chi is for everyone! Younger you start, better it is. I recently posted an article with very basic underlying reasons of Tai Chi for better health and wellbeing. https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/why-can-tai-chi-practice-lead-us-better-health-wellbeing-fang-qin/?fbclid=IwAR15jzoTjo2NIBsbpvxGh45HCdybAOig-oxsdc_uGkX1WcjoYAWDGSvrB3s.

For me, sharing is a big part of my life, I share with others what I know well, others share with me what they know well. Together, we grow and become better self.

I want to say THANK YOU to all my students for your sharing. I am better Tai Chi teacher today because of you. For this, I like to give all of you a special offer of my popular “Qi Gong 12-Gesture” learning DVD.  To get this great 50% off deal, use promo code “TCMARCH”. The offer is valid till end of this month while the stock is available. So be quick!

Another good way to learn how to use Tai Chi for better health and wellbeing is to come to one of our workshops. The upcoming workshops are on 16th and 23rd March. Early bird booking rate is still available. More details can be found at https://meridian-connection.com.au/our-events/future-events/.

till next time!

Yours in Tai Chi,
Fang and the team
