Tai Chi: Why chi flow is critical and how getting chi flow is easier than you think
Many folks who practice Tai Chi today have never developed chi flow and therefore do not know what chi flow is. They may have heard about it or seen it in movies but sadly many have not actually experienced it first hand for themselves. Most people who practice Tai Chi today are just practicing this rich art at a very basic level.
To many, it is just a gentle, therapeutic exercise for old people. Tai Chi has much to offer and can be practiced at many levels for different purposes.
Being able to generate chi flow is critical as it not only allows one to be healthier, but it also allows a smaller person to defend himself against a much larger attacker. If a person who does not know how to generate chi is attacked by a larger and stronger opponent, he will be severely disadvantaged, as he will be depending solely on his martial arts skill to defend himself.
Unless he is extremely skilled, he will most likely have a hard time defending himself. However, if he knows how to use his chi and have some internal force, he will be able to neutralize his opponent no matter how big or strong the opponent is. This is why knowing how to develop one’s chi is important if one of your objectives of learning Tai Chi is to be able to defend yourself against a larger person. Even if learning Tai Chi as a martial art is not one of your objectives, being able to generate a chi flow will transform your level of Tai Chi to a much higher level.
Unless your aims of learning Tai Chi are very modest, being able to get a chi flow is critical to your advancement in this ancient art.
Getting a chi flow is easier than you think and can be achieved in days or at the most weeks. To do this, you must learn from a master who has this ability.
Although, you can also learn Tai Chi to some degree from videos and books, nothing beats learning first hand from a qualified teacher. If you do not have a qualified person supervising you and you decide to learn on your own, you may develop bad habits or do something that is not appropriate. Then, you will have to unlearn and this may impede your progress, as you would have already developed certain bad habits and patterns of learning.
For example, if you want to learn to drive a car, you must learn from a qualified instructor. Although you can read books and watch a video on how to drive a car, learning on your own may be harmful. Similarly, if you want to become a dentist, you have to go to a school where you are taught by trained professionals.
If you had a toothache, would you dare go to a ‘dentist’ who has never gone for formal training and only learned from books and videos? Obviously not.
After finding a qualified teacher, getting a chi flow will usually only take days or weeks. You will be taught how to relax your whole body, how to breathe using special breathing techniques and the correct Tai Chi postures, stances and movements.
At a more advanced stage, you will also be taught how to generate and move chi with your mind.
