Tai Chi, lead to a more focussed and empowered You!

October 2022

Hello Tai Chi friends and enthusiasts, a warm welcome to our October Newsletter!

Greetings. Finally the spring is here with beautiful birds chirping and stunning blue sky, sea and sunset in Adelaide. I hope you are enjoying your time in nature with your families and loved ones. Of course, weather changes all the time, may we find beauty in changes.

Have you ever felt overwhelmed and lack of focus? Have you ever blamed the internet with enormous amount of information available at your fingertip? I certainly did in the past. You may be in great control of your life. If so, good on you. If this is not the case, I guess you may be looking for something or tools to gain better focus and overcome overwhelm.

There are many useful tools and apps you may like to consider, such as Headspace app- Guided meditation and mindfulness. The question is what suits you the best considering time, money/investment and outcome etc. People who are generally happy and have abundant in life are the ones who are clear with their goals and are committed to make it happen. Plus a high level of fitness, energy and vitality.

Once one of my very dear friends told me that her goal is to die well while witnessing her elderly parents have been through difficult years with physical and mental illness.

To die well, she is committed to live well.

What are your goals in life? Good health, fame, freedom, loving relationship, financial independence?

No matter what your goals are, you need to be fit and healthy (body and mind) to enjoy what you have and will achieve in life. Otherwise, money and fame are just a number and a title, won’t take any pain and suffering away.

This is what I wish for my life. Be healthy and content, grow each day, enrich life to the fullest. Live well and die well.

Tai Chi and Qi Gong practice can help anyone who wants to be helped to gain a deep level of focus and clarity. Consequently, less stress, better health and more joy. Studies have shown a significant increase of Alpha brain waves when you are practising Tai Chi and Qi Gong, even after your practice.

You may be wondering why alpha waves are so important. When your brain is producing these waves, it’s responding to activities like meditation and rest that can reduce your stress levels and help you feel calmer. How good is that when you are doing Tai Chi, you are exercising while resting and meditating? Boosting your alpha waves may also increase your creativity levels. Studies have found evidence that they could trigger a surge in creativity if they specifically focused on enhancing alpha waves.

Can you let me know how Tai Chi and Qi Gong help you to achieve your goals and enable you to stay focused? Your commitment to your goals is important to you and your feedback is important to us. All feedback will be gathered and at the end of this month, we will draw a winner. The winner prize is a $50 gift card! To be qualified, we will need you to write between 50-100 words, sharing your Tai Chi/Qi Gong story with us. Please send your feedback to 4yourhealth@meridian.connection.com.au.
