Tai Chi Chuan

A community portal about Tai Chi Chuan with blogs, videos, and photos. According to Wikipedia.org: Tai Chi Chuan, T'ai Chi Ch'üan or Taijiquan, commonly known as Tai Chi, T'ai Chi, or Taiji, is an internal Chinese martial art. There are different styles of T'ai Chi Ch'üan, although most agree they are all based on the system originally taught by the Chen family to the Yang family starting in 1820. It is often promoted and practiced as a martial arts therapy for the purposes of health and longevity, sometimes even to the point of being taught exclusively as an exercise technique ignoring martial applications entirely. T'ai Chi Ch'üan is considered a soft style martial art, an art applied with deep relaxation or "softness" in the musculature as possible, to distinguish its theory and application from that of the hard martial art styles which use a degree of tension in the muscles.

Meditation is a devotional or a contemplative exercise aimed to serve an objective. The objectives can be deepening of a spiritual insight or achieving some form of personal enlightenment. This topic covers how to manage a Tai Chi meditation heart chakra control.

What is essentially a Tai Chi meditation heart chakra control? Chakra is defined as a spiritual power that is hidden deep within the seven ‘life gates’ of the body, one of which is the heart. Harnessing the heart chakra properly allows an individual boundless energy. The Tai Chi mediation heart chakra control requires a certain degree of preparation to execute properly.

Standard Tai Chi Meditation Heart Chakra
Begin this exercise by getting comfortable. Choose an area with less pollution and noise and without distractions. Sit down comfortably with the back straight. It doesn’t matter if you assume the lotus or half lotus, by the time you master this technique, you can even do this inside a train or a bus. The eyes are slightly closed, but not completely to allow a slightly downward gaze to a spot about a pace in front. The mind should be clear from any thoughts at this step. The purpose of the fixed gaze is for the eyes to focus onto something but not distracted by it. Breathing should be done in regular, unhurried pace, with breath held in for some time before exhaling.

The next step is the trick of opening the heart chakra gate. Now, focus your attention (without looking) on the center of your chest. Imagine a surge of power from the center of your chest to your head and shoulders especially at the back of your head and on the spine. Maintain your half-closed eyes. Try imagining a tickle of water running from your scalp to your back. If you feel a slight tingling, you have successfully opened the gate to your ‘heart chakra’. Now, do you feel refreshed?

This is the most basic Tai Chi meditation heart chakra control. This meditation has a degree of healing capabilities in it. If you have a headache, a minute spent in meditation with heart chakra could effectively ease if not relieve you of the pain.
