In fact, it is said that those who practice T’ai Chi, young or old, sick or well have restored flexibility of their joints, relaxed muscles and their bodies gain true alignment with gravity. They develop
flexibility of a child,
strength of a lumberjack and
wisdom of a sage.
Professor Cheng Man ch’ing,
late and well known Grand Master of T’ai Chi Chuan have recognized that
benefits of T’ai Chi should be spread throughout. As such, he worked on distilling
essence of T’ai Chi Chuan. He came up with “The Eight Ways of T’ai Chi Chuan”. Each of
movement in
eight ways work on three major problems faced by
aging or
sick: loss of equilibrium, stiffness of
joints and weakness of muscles and fear of falling and injury. The eight ways work on maintaining stability of
legs, since
adage that
individual has health as long as he or she has legs is an important element of truth. Once
use of legs is lost, health may fail dramatically, too.
You could enroll in a nearby health center or schools offering “The Eight Ways of T’ai Chi Chuan”. Once you rediscover
power of your legs and eventually overcome its frailties, you might also come to stop investing lots of money on walking aids and other such devices. -30-
