If someone were to offer you a magical secret that could bring you health, harmony with yourself and your environment, power to defend yourself, a sense of deep inner peace, and all for the investment of a few minutes every day - how would you respond? and if, after trying it out for a while, you found that it really did work, what would it be worth to you?
Tai Chi can be practised at any age, for health, to enhance our protective energy-field, to strengthen our physical and energetic immune system, to connect with higher and lower forces on the spiritual path, for self-defence, or simply to harmonise with our environment and alleviate the effects of stress.
In the double-helix spirals of Tai Chi we reunite the Yang and Yin forces of our creation, to ebb and flow throughout our meridian network, feeding the organs that sustain our life. We open and stimulate the meridians, the energy-flow channels, enabling the bio-electro-magnetic force, Qi or chi, to come on full charge as we do the slow graceful form.
Healers and Martial Artists use Tai Chi to improve external Qi-projection and internal rooting. Combined with Iron Shirt Chi Kung, Tai Chi helps develop the rootedness to keep ourselves safe when practising kundalini or astral projection in the higher meditations.
Tai Chi comes to us as a gift from the past, a way to create our own tranquillity: “to keep our cool when all about us might be losing theirs.”
Beyond the Basics: As you progress through the Nine Rings, or levels, of the Hidden masters practice of Steel Body Tai Chi, you learn to integrate the power-techniques of Iron Shirt, the psychic self-defence of Fusion and the extra-sensory perception of the Tao of the Shaman, utilising the Inner Eye to anticipate, disappear and counter.
After the Tao of High Degree you attend special training-camps to master the secrets of weapon-work, physical, energetic and spiritual, to step into the Celestial Circle.
These powerful practices are not lightly transmitted: prepare to dedicate yourself to reach the highest levels...and, enjoy the journey.
The BASICs of Tai Chi form an integral part of Foundations Step 3. Basics are also taught on Mondays at the London Tao Centre, at the Winter Weekend Intensive, and at the Summer Training Camp
