Taji Quan

This qigong set is made famous by the legendary Taoist Master Zhang San Feng, founder of Wudang sect in China. There are two widely known styles- Yang and Chen styles. The strength of this qigong lies in Yi Rou Zhi Gang (soft defuses strength).

Natural Breathing

You may think that your breathing is natural breathing but you may be surprised to find otherwise. Have you used your abdominal muscles when you breathe or air just goes down to your heart and gets exhaled out the next moment.

On inhalation, the diaphragm muscle contracts and moves downward, pushing the abdomen outwards. During exhalation, the diaphragm relaxes upward, the abdomen releases inward, pushing air out. By doing abdominal breathing correctly, you allow a greater volume of air to be exchanged between your body and the external air. Do not force the breath. Emphasise on Long, Slow, Deep breath.

You may be interested to know that by slow and tranquil breathing, your cells and organs are likely to work less and they will age at a slower rate. That's why when you observe people who practise qigong or meditation, usually you will be amazed by their young looks which belie theit real age.
