Often, people think of the Tai Chi 40 form as something "in between" the "beginners'" Tai Chi 24 form and "the real" Tai Chi 108 form (also known as Tai Chi 88 form). This is wrong. First of all, the Tai Chi 24 form is not a beginners' one, when done right, it has the same power the Tai Chi 40 form and Tai Chi 108 form have.

Second, regardless the fact that the Tai Chi 40 form is a reduced version of Tai Chi 108 form, it was made shorter by removing repeating forms. Nothing is lost.

Techniques of the Taiji Qigong 18 form are somewhere between the "dynamic" Tai Chi Meditation, and static ones of Qigong meditation. Same way as in Tai Chi, Taiji Qigong is simple to do, and the "energy" flow is usually easier to achieve, then when you practice Qigong meditation

In this tutorial you will find the set of Taiji Qigong techniques, called "Qigong (Dao In) Heart and blood vessels". Dao In is an ancient name of the Chi Gun (Qigong). The tao is composed of 8 forms, however, please keep in mind, that each form is rather complex, it usually involves more than one motion.

The "Dao In Heart and blood vessels" techniques are designed to improve general health, with most effect on the heart conditions (including both heart and blood vessels). The exercises combine dynamic meditation and self-massage, being - on one side - simple, they work with pressure points and energy channels.

Joints exercises

Yang family Tai Chi exercises

It does not matter how old you are or how strong : this technique is for you. Because this set of exercises was fine-tuned by centuries. People with problems use it, and sometimes problems go away. Healthy people use it to stay healthy. And Qigong and Tai Chi students use it as a stretching and warm up routine.

The power of Chinese (this set of exercises may look familiar, but it is taken almost without changes from the Qigong warm up) philosophy is in its balanced simplicity. You do a simple set of movements, day after day, you don't even break to sweat - and than the changes happen. And of course, if you don't do it - it does not work. Well... no technique is perfect.



Qigong Meditation: Healing Tao

In our days it is very difficult to follow the "classical" Qigong routine, people simply do not have enough time to do it all. This, probably, why the "Healing Tao" was created.

It combines many powerful techniques from ancient Dao In / Qigong Exercises techniques, providing you with the system, that you can practice when your limited time does not allow you to do longer routines. However, it is not the "dummy" technique, it is rather advanced, and can produce dramatic changes in your overall Qigong progress.



Headache Relief Pressure Points

In this tutorial you will find the technique, based on Chinese pressure points, that can be used for fast headache relief.

Unlike most "non-prescribed drugs", it works almost instantaneously, as the matter of fact, people often feel relief before the routine is completed.
