Welcome to my blog. I teach and philosophise on the four disciplines of the human being. Tai Chi, Qigong, Meditation and the one that lives within the centre, which is the medicine wheel of the heart.
Breath of Tai Chi
Breathing while practicing Tai Chi is by far the most confusing aspect for everyone who is trying to understand the rhythm of breath. For example, when to inhale and when to exhale during the movements of the form. I, like everyone, became confused and found it detrimental to my training. Instead of working on the flow of postures and following the principal of connecting each movement together as a fine strand of an unbroken silk thread, I would focus on inhaling and exhaling.
Meditation and the six breaths
How to breathe correctly in meditation is one of the most common questions I am asked to explain. The people which ask me this are looking for detailed instruction, something to follow and some to form a logical structure in their minds. There is no structure to breathing other than just breathing. How you breathe is nothing to do with secrets and hidden techniques.
