In practicing it regularly you will be accumulating and balancing the chi (energy) and will learn to tap into it and use it more effeciently.

I did feel looser and more relaxed after doing this the very first time, especially in my left shoulder and neck which is a real spasm prone area and figure when I can visualize more and concentrate on form less, it will be even better. I can see where this can really help to reduce headaches and muscle pain from stress The PM one is supposed to help promote sleep too Barb who is lucky to have the time to pursue this stuff and the support of my family Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 4, 1999 Report Share Posted December 4, 1999 " have a nice day!! " wrote: original article:/group/tae-bo_on/?start=2672 > Which Tai Chi tape do you use?? I would like to try it! > , The one I use is called T'ai Chi Chih-Serenity in the Midst of Activity. By Pam Towne. This form of t'ai chi was originated by Stone. If you can't find it at Amazon or one of those places, you can call 877-9TAI CHI. Or order it online at www.enhancing.com/products.htm l Just keep in mind that these are slow circular flowing movements, and very different from the aerobic workout of tae-bo. does use some of the movements at the end of the instructional and basic studio tapes for the cool down.
