Rejuvenating Practice of TaiChi/QiGong

Doctor of Oriental Medicine, Jampa Mackenzie Stewart of Valley Spirit and Wellness Center in Washington Depot, CT presents TaiChi & Meditation an Introduction. Join us for a relaxing yet enlivening evening and sample what Tai Chi and meditation have to offer.

The ancient Chinese exercise art of Tai Chi is sometimes called “meditation in movement.” All the movements are done in slow motion, yet it actually speeds up your reflexes, improves balance and reduces falls, lowers high blood pressure, calms the nerves and builds strength. Including the Chinese people, there are literally hundreds of millions of people around the world enjoying the benefits of Tai Chi daily. After warming up your body with Tai Chi’s gentle relaxing movements, you will learn a simple and brief sitting meditation that can be done either seated in a chair or on a cushion. Both Tai Chi and sitting meditation practice integrate your posture, healthy breathing and calmly focused attention.
