Qigong includes silk Reeling for Tai Chi for Health - Silk reeling exercises (Chan Si Gong) can be viewed as repetitive movements practiced in sets using simplified forms to enhance the spiraling character of movements in a relaxed and safe manner. Key terms for our purposes are -

Mind- body awareness
Relaxation
Co-ordination
Breathing

While there may be specific exercises found in the traditional Chen style of Tai Chi Chuan from where the term has been derived historically, it is important to understand that the concept of silk reeling or spiral force is something that applys to Tai Chi for Health where the focus is on improving health, fitness and well-being.

The overall aim of training is to develop skills for a technique to be executed achieving "Efficient use of Energy”, using the “Mind not Force” principle, emphasizing strength through softness, biomechanics of spiral force that emphasizes redirection and control over brute strength and the ability to adapt, be flexible and not resort to brute force.
