Mind-Body Connection
Ancient Chinese tradition suggests that to "strain is not to gain." They also emphasize a strong belief that one must have a mind/body connection that allows one to feel "inside the body" and recognize when energy is "out of balance." The practice of this "moving meditation" enhances the mind/body connection and allows one to have a deeper connection with the internal body. Chi Kung and Tai Chi are exercises as well as meditations. You will move every muscle, joint, bone, and organ of the body in a slow, gentle, and methodical way.

Breathing Techniques
The movements cited above are part of a Chi Kung form called "The “Longevity Tree," a 36-step moving meditation form within Chi Kung, is a very gentle program and therefore is perfect for rehabilitation. It is a form that combines meditation, exercises and breathing techniques to create a mind/body/spirit connection. Deep breathing will enhance your exercise. This form is a great place to start studying the art of internal energy.

This moving meditation helps to develop focus and concentration and contributes to a feeling of peace and harmony. This is the practice for anyone who suffers from worry, perfectionism, Type A personality, and/or stress illnesses.
