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!!
