Transformational Tools For Taking Control of Your Life

Tai Chi & Chi Kung

Tai chi & chi kung are different aspects of the same art.  They both have the aims of:

Imagery and visualisation are used with both aspects, as are the co-ordination of movement with breathing, with energy, with awareness.

See the Articles section for more information about how Tai Chi & Chi Kung can improve your life.  We offer one-to-one teaching in these arts as well as sessions for small groups.

To understand how they differ it is helpful to think of chi kung as a collection of ‘exercises’, movements that are repeated in order to achieve their goal as mentioned above.

• Raising awareness in the body
• Improving posture
• Improving one’s way of moving
• Reducing tension in mind/body/energy/spiritual systems
• Boosting immune response
• Boosting the healing response
• Increasing mindfulness
• Generating a sense of peace
• Building internal and external strength
• Reducing aches and pains
• Improving balance and co-ordination

Tai chi, however, is a series of forms, or sequences tied together to create a slow dance-like set of movements that aim for the same result as the chi kung.
