Tai Chi Basics. 2: Circular Breathing

Basic Exercises
based upon my lesson plans and post analysis of sessions with the Parkinsons Disease Sufferes Tai Chi Group.


You are not likely to 'accidentally' or without intention push open a stuck door! You will need to put your mind to it. And should the door remain stuck shut after an initial effort, more Chi may be naturally applied to the task and power increased with the addition of breath. The 'natural' and instinctive way to add power to you push is to first set your self, breathe in and then … puuuussshhhhhh on the out breath.

 

PUSHING AWAY - ARMS ONLY.

"Breathe in from the bottom of the circle, Breathe out off of the top of the circle."


PUSHING DOWN - SINKING.

Concentrate upon developing movement in harmony with your body; coordinating it all with "Circle Breathing".

 

RISING AND SINKING - LIKE THE MOON.
