Deeply-ingrained in both ancient and modern Chinese culture, T'AI CHI which means "wholeness", is a method combining meditation with gentle physical movement, preferably in the open air. It is based on the same theory underlying other Chinese therapies - that illness is the result of imbalance in the flow of energy around the body. Because of its gentle nature, it is widely practised by young and old alike as a form of exercise. It has been practised in the West for most of this century.
Notes: T'ai Chi promotes general well-being, reduces stress and is a form of exercise particularly suited to the elderly. For those with highly-pressurised lives it can bring welcome serenity.
