Tai Chi

Tai Chi is an exercise used to calm the mind and strengthen he body. It is known for having many good benefits for our health and mind. Tai chi is a flowing type of movement and has been found to help with various ailments, as well as lower levels of stress. Many refer to tai chi as a form of moving meditation due to its fluid and calming nature. 

It started out in ancient China and is executed by using slow, controlled movements that merge from pose to pose. The idea is to have the body in a constant state of motion, albeit at a gradual pace. Tai chi is considered a form of exercise as well as a great stretching technique. There are several styles of tai chi, which vary in styles and philosophies. Some types of tai chi are more specifically used for martial arts development while others can be for general wellbeing. 

Because tai chi is made up of soft and flowing movements, it is considered an exercise with very little impact and therefore does not put much stress on areas such as the joints and muscles. This is excellent for people of all ages with varying levels of fitness since it can be performed by practically anyone. Many older people enjoy taking up tai chi because it provides a soft exercise yet keeps the body active and healthy.

People that are limited to other kinds of exercises can generally participate in tai chi. However, it is best to check with your doctor just to make sure. The reason tai chi is so popular is that it shows results in improving general health. It is known to reduce levels of anxiety and stress and improve stamina, balance, flexibility, as well as give muscles more strength. 

Those who perform tai chi on a regular basis tend to have better sleep, a stronger immune system, reduced pain of joints and reduced levels of blood pressure and cholesterol. Those who are interested in tai chi can find an instructor, who is qualified to teach, in order to receive the most benefits and avoid performing techniques in a harmful or uncomfortable manner. 

Important aspects of tai chi include practicing the positions in their correct form and learning how to manage your breathing. While it is possible to learn these techniques with a DVD or book, it is much easier to join a class instead of monitoring yourself at the start and also avoids unnecessary injuries from performing positions in the wrong way.

What isĀ Applied Kinesiology?

Applied Kinesiology

Applied kinesiology is a diagnosis performed through testing of the muscle in order to get an idea of how the body of a person is working. Ideally, applied kinesiology helps to narrow down options of therapy and gives more specific results. A kinesiologist typically locates a weak muscle and tests it in order to find out why it is not behaving properly. An evaluation is made from the results and then the proper route of therapy to treat the weakness can be utilized. The reason a muscle behaves weakly, according to applied kinesiology, is because the certain gland or organ that it is related to is weak. 

Therefore, accessing the weak muscle problem can give insight into underlying ailments that can range from damaged nerves, organ problems, decreased supply of blood or imbalances in chemical composition. Kinesiologists believe that strengthening the weakened muscle can have a direct impact on helping and strengthening the organ it is linked to. 

It is similar to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) in the fact that it shares principals of energy flow, otherwise called Meridians in TCM. The various therapies associated with applied kinesiology include myofascial, meridian and cranial therapy, as well as many others. Sometimes a muscle that is strong enough is used as a test to find out what would cause it to weaken, such as whether it is a reaction to food or the environment.

Unlike other types of medicinal techniques, Reiki is available for anyone to learn. All ages and areas of the world have no problem implementing Reiki techniques. Reiki is sometimes thought of as a silly belief, but many that have tried to have Reiki, without the belief it would work, found wonderful results. Reiki also encourages people to live a balanced life full of harmony and love. 

During a Reiki session, the practitioner will have you sit comfortably either on a bed, massage bed, couch or chair. The only item of clothing that must be removed are shoes, though sometimes belts and ties are asked to be loosened. Comfortable, loose fabrics are best to wear to a session, with little or no accessories. The practitioner will then proceed to use his hands on various parts of the body, resting each for up to five minutes.
