This is what is promised to us from this work:

Balance and harmony between body-mind-emotions, electro-magnetic forces, and our internal universals of yin-yang; Conscious engagement of endocrine system to produce hormones, enzymes, neurochemicals to boost our immune system; PH balance of blood; Better circulation of blood and energy, nourishing and energizing all organs and glands, detoxifying tissues by carrying away metabolic wastes and dissolving accumulated toxins, damaged cells, undesirable microbes and parasites. Improvement in cerebral function: training of mind to take conscious command of energy for healing and spiritual growth. Improvement in relationships between others/Nature/Cosmos. I studied many of these techniques at Chi Kung Institute in San Francisco. The instructor was Chiu Lim Chan, age 54 at time (1975), who looked 35 and had a belly as hard as a stone. He got teachings on Wu Tang Mountain from a 180 year-old man; that was in 1940.

Of more than 100 million people who practice T’ai-chi regularly, most train outdoors, even in severe weather conditions of northern China. The reason is simple and can be understood only when you accept elements and embrace opportunity to integrate with nature. Year-round, outdoor training is good for spirit, heart, mind and body.
