Tai Chi Chih was developed by Justin Stone. I took a Tai chi Chih class at the YMCA. I wanted to learn more about how energy was cultivated. I was trained in ballet and found the movements quite different. I felt more freedom of movement. There is no pushing or shoving, stress or trying to do it exactly right. Movement are soft, slow, meditative, and calming. Relax and breathe. Everyone moves at their own pace. In time the movements become easier and our understanding becomes deeper.
Soon after beginning Tai chi Chih class, I came home to find I was locked out of the house. I used some of the principles of Tai Chi Chih to open the window and climb inside. I shifted my weight to the right leg and moved from my center below the navel. Then I lifted my left leg parallel to the ground and entered into the window. The movements and principles you learn while practicing Tai Chi, Qigong, or Tai Chi Chih will be with you a lifetime and help you maneuver through your day more easily. Tai Chi follows the path of least resistance. You can discover where you hold your tension and relax those areas. You can perform the movements standing, sitting or lying down.
