Tai Chi, this long-standing form of exercise not only provides an effective way to strengthen the body, but also contains rich philosophical concepts and cultural essences, which is of great significance to improving people's health.
Strengthen the body
Tai Chi movements include many actions such as bent, stretching the arms and turning the body. These actions are of great benefit to the flexibility of multiple joints in the human body, and can also enhance strength between muscle tightness and relaxation. Take one of my friends for example. He used to be weak and sick, often plagued by colds . However, since he persisted in practicing Tai Chi for Health , his joints have become more flexible, and his body's resistance has also increased. In addition, the regulation of breathing during exercise can also exercise the heart and lung function, which helps the flow of qi and blood smoothly.
Cultivate the body and mind
When practicing Tai Chi, you must wholeheartedly and eliminate the interference of distracting thoughts. Every movement requires physical and mental coordination, so that the originally disturbing mood can slowly calm down. In the busy urban life, practicing Tai Chi is like temporarily withdrawing from the busyness and creating a peaceful time for yourself. Every time I finish practicing, I can feel the great relaxation and peace in my heart, as if I have given my soul a deep soothing.
Improve coordination
Tai Chi movements are smooth and natural, and require close cooperation between hands, eyes, body, Dharma and steps. Persistence in practice can improve the body's balance and coordination ability. For the elderly, practicing Tai Chi can help reduce the possibility of falling; for young people, it can also enhance the speed of reaction in daily life and the ability to cope in the workplace. I found that the elderly living in our community seemed more stable when walking after practicing Tai Chi.
Social Opportunities
Many Tai Chi fans gathered together to exchange skills with each other. In the process of sharing experiences, everyone worked together. Such a scene not only enhances the pleasure of practice, but also broadens the field of social interaction. In the Tai Chi circle, I have made many friends. Although we are of different ages, our shared Tai Chi sentiment gives us the opportunity to understand each other and experience the little insights in life together.
Inheriting culture
Tai Chi contains the essence of our traditional culture, and practicing Tai Chi is essentially a continuation of this culture. If you explore in depth, you will find that the thoughts of yin and yang, virtual and real in Tai Chi are closely linked to our daily lives. Whenever I teach Tai Chi skills to others, explain this knowledge to them, and see their instant understanding of the expression, my heart is filled with pride of inheriting the culture.
