Daily Training Habits – Tai Chi Training

By Leave a Comment

Tai Chi is not something you can do once in awhile and get benefits from it. It is something that must be done regularly. I recommend practicing your Tai chi no less than 4 times a week.  When I first started Tai Chi I had a hard time making time to train. I remedied the situation by making myself go to sleep an hour earlier and waking up an hour earlier.

It took me about 2 months of doing this before it became natural.  For the past 3 years I have been waking up at 4:30 am it was hard at first, but now its just a habit. No matter what time I go to bed I still wake up around the same time everyday.

I am not saying you need to be that extreme but do set time aside to train and stick with it.

All Tai Chi styles have some form of Qigong in their training. Doing Chi Gung is the warm up for doing the Tai Chi Form. I has been my experience that if you do practice Chi Gung (Qigong) one of the side effects is your body needs less sleep.

It is said that the minds move the chi, it has also been my experience that before I felt chi I had to imagine I did. Once I made the connection I was able to more freely feel chi move through my body.
