 Longevity Tree
Longevity Tree is the foundation form for the Nam Hoa Internal Arts system. It is a moving meditation and is believed to be well over a thousand years old. Itnb provides the most benefits in the shortest amount of time. The form also has a pleasing aesthetic quality which many find beautiful and expressive.
Due to various factors our flow of energy in the body and mind can become diminished over the course of our lives. In the LT form we are provided the means to restore the free flow of chi (vital life force) and regain a more natural and healthful state of being.
Benefits
For the physical body the LT provides a method of daily exercise which can improve balance, tone muscles, increase flexibility, and promote relaxation. It can open blockages to the flow of chi, revitalize the system and enhance our state of well being. LT is also very beneficial for the mind as it promotes mindfulness and concentration. As these skills are developed we improve our ability to remain focused and aware throughout the form The art of mindfulness and living in the present moment, when integrated into our daily lives, can be of immense value. Tai chi and Qi Gong will help to balance emotions and develop concentration.
At a time when all aspects of our lives seem accelerated, it is well worth our time to consider these treasured practices. Tai Chi can help one discover calm and live in a way that benefits ourselves and the world.
Classes
Classes consist of a variety of warm-up exercises, Zhan Zhuang (standing concentration), acupressure points, Qi Gong exercises and Stick Practice |
