You will be introduced to Grand Master Feng Zhiquiang's Hun Yuan Taiji System.
Let me first say Tai Chi is a wonderful art. I am dedicated to practice the art of Tai Chi and Qigong. Tai Chi is practiced for health, stress reduction, spiritual, or martial aspects.
Let's start here!
What is Hun Yuan? Grandmaster explains what is Hun Yuan (T'ai Chi Magazine-Vol 24.,No.6). "Hun Yuan is the Origin or the Original." We know that the Solar System (Heaven) revolves in circles and the Earth revolves in circles as well. It is the same as the sun and the moon. The practice of Taiji involves the idea of expanding our intention energy, and movement so large that there is nothing that can contain it; so concentrated that nothing can fit inside it. When you practice like this you feel as big as the universe. Hun Yuan has different kinds of circle. It's the same as automobiles, trains and bicycles. They rely on engines which depend upon circling motions in order to go.
What is Chi Kung? The word means breath work or energy. Chi Kung is also the practice of self-healing, internal energy development, and longevity exercise.
People practice Chi Kung to remove blockages, enhance vitality and to promote self healing using body and mind together and drawing on the universal life force which surrounds us. The practice for this course involves the Hun Yuan Qigong system as well.
What is silk reeling? This is spiral movement to develop energy (zhen qi) to open the eight channels to improve yin-yang balance and flow of blood. It connects upper and lower, left to right, also in and out.
The practice helps you connect to dantian movements and exercises the joints of the body. There are eighteen major joints. Also good for muscles and tendons, relaxation and produces more flexibility. This is an exercise that needs to be done in every class.
