Tai chi is one of the few martial arts and self-development arts that emphasize on optimizing your straight posture. Traditionally, this is one of the first things that a beginner teaches before mentioning breathing, movement, or meditation. In fact, breathing and meditation cannot properly direct the energy in the body and mind if the spine is not optimally held. It looks like a wheeled vehicle - if the axis is curved, the wheels will not work properly. In fact, the tires are not only worn out faster, but all the stability and efficiency of the car is compromised. In the human body, compromise will cause unnecessary tension and deterioration.
But if someone is not blessed with a straight pose or scoliosis, can they still do tai-chi? Absolutely. In fact, this is probably one of the best reasons to start! Starting with an experienced and experienced teacher, you will be able to give more loyalty to the spine and, consequently, stability to the whole body.
Here are ways in which special tai-chi methods based on classical works can help balance your posture and, therefore, make your body and mind susceptible to accelerated progress and development:
1) Removal of excessive curvature and mitigation of excessive stiffness in the spine conforms to the principles of chiropractic and osteopathic medicine. Your organs will return to the correct position. Your nerve roots are not affected, thereby losing less energy and allowing you to function physiologically.
2) For thousands of years through several spiritual disciplines - tai chi, qigong, Zen meditation and yoga - gently stretching the upper part of the head and relaxing the low back down, they say to raise the spiritual consciousness. It is said that a more direct posture is that a more enlightened person has or can become potential. With thousands of years and millions of practitioners in history, to support this must be at least the core of truth.
3) In martial arts, you can think and move faster and with less energy if your spine is holding correctly. This makes it easier for you to use your opponent, redirecting his power. It works the same for manual labor. You can start using gravity to your advantage, and not to the detriment, as most people do.
4) The act of improving your posture makes you more attractive. Not only to the opposite sex, but also to society as a whole. And more importantly, to myselfThe straight posture represents confidence, inner strength, youth and poise. It also makes you feel these qualities deep inside.
5) When you keep yourself in tune with how your body was designed for optimal performance, you will feel less tired and sore. Your body can also heal faster from pain or injury with proper alignment.
However, with these benefits worth paying. That is, firstly, it will be difficult, because your muscles, tendons and nerves are so used to being in an unoptimized position. You will feel internal resistance in your mind and body, and it will be too easy to just give up and stay in your current structural state. And if you don’t go to a progressive doctor, you certainly don’t get much support from this medical community. No special device to wear to make you do it. He will have to show his strength and commitment. As soon as you do this for 1-3 months in a row, in every situation every day it becomes second nature. Then he will really feel wrong back to the old ways! He can benefit you for the rest of your life.
Are you ready to make a commitment?
