Taking The Bull By Its Horns

In our ever-changing world, we are taught to grasp and take hold. We are taught to take the bull by its horns. However, we are not taught how to let go. We hold on to the bull’s horns for dear life and wonder why life only gets harder and we become more exhausted. In essence, T’ai Chi Chih teaches us how to gracefully let go. In the process, many concrete things happen.

In doing a daily TCC practice, you may find your high blood pressure returns to normal or you may find your cholesterol drops. You may find you no longer suffer from sleeplessness. Current research at UCLA has proven T’ai Chi Chih is beneficial to insomnia sufferers.

Heart problems may run in your family and you are concerned that you may be next. Preliminary research at the University of Cincinnati College of Nursing suggests T’ai Chi Chih may be a cost-effective, non-invasive approach. It went on to suggest T’ai Chi Chih as an intervention for chronic illness.

A recently completed research project at Cousins Center for Psychoneuroimmunology sponsored by NAIMS showed significant improvement in Rheumatoid Arthritis patients that practiced T’ai Chi Chih.

The 19 movements and one posture of the T’ai Chi Chih form can easily be learned by virtually anyone. As little as 20 minutes a day of practice can lead to astounding and often subtle results. If you seek better health and well being, T’ai Chi Chih may be for you.
