Qigong - Relaxation Silk Reeling

 

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 spiralling character of the movements in a relaxed and safe manner.  Key terms for our purposes are -


• Relaxation
• Mind- body awareness
• Co-ordination

 

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 can apply to all styles of Tai Chuan and especially to Tai Chi for Health where the focus is on improving health, fitness and wellbeing.

DON'T BE A SLAVE

to any predetermined sequence.

Let the freestyle flow

of slow and controlled

deflect anxiety and stress,

training the mind

to find a rhythm and pattern

neutralizing anger and pain reflected

in the rear-view mirror of life.

Be motivated through the discipline

of sustained effort,

drills, repetition

of  focussed practice.

Don’t become a victim

to rage on the road of life

hooked on speed.

GO WITH THE FLOW

MORE POWER TO YOU!!
