Training using Taiji-Bone
There are eight methods employed in the use of Taiji-Bone in the exercise rituals which are good for old and young, both male and female.
The Taiji-Bone is light and easy to carry, store and be used in exercise anywhere as place is not a problem to practice.
The methods of Hit, Knock, Step and Roll will encourage massaging to stimulate blood circulation. Using Taiji-Bone to roll under foot is akin to the foot reflexology act which will help to stimulate good blood circulation.
Lift, Drop, Swing, Spin, Press, Push, Pull, Grasp, Hold, Twist, Shake and Trow methods will train and strengthen fingers, palms, wrists, elbows, shoulders, waist, thighs, knees and ankles joints resulting in them being flexible and in element.
When these methods are co-ordinated with the NINE BEND BALL and UNFALLEN BUDDHA method, the practitioner will be in good mind control or " Yi " to cultivate good co-ordination of the "flex", stimulates the nervous system, use physical method to train the mind, body, emotion to be synchronised and harmonised.
Daily practice brings calm and peace, reduce stress, promotes good sleep and the practitioner will find himself very energrtic. This is best form of exercise.
Long term practice will cultivate "Peng Force" and soft "Jin" which is good for "Taichi Pushing Hand" practitioners.
You can select one or two methods for training. Before training with Taiji-Bone, be sure you are very relax and of calm mind before holding the Taiji-Bone between your two palms. Only if you can feel the weight of the Bone, then you can begin to practice in any posture you choose.
For every movement, practice 40 to 60 times.
