Easy Tai Chi

Easy Tai Chi was developed by Dr. Keith Jeffery and combines the best of the east and west. Easy Tai Chi is a two part system that encompasses tai chi and qi gong. Traditional tai chi is very beneficial for our respiratory system as well as the muscular system in our body. The only problem is that one has to be really dedicated and willing to learn the many movements that are taught. Lets face it, tai chi is only good for you if you practice it and many usually become disinterested and discontinue their practice. Dr. Jeffery has come up with a simplified system that is much easier to learn and still offers the benefits of traditional tai chi; in some comparisons the easy tai chi offers instruction that is not offered by some traditional instructors, such as proper breathing. I became involved with easy tai chi over a year ago and previously practiced traditional tai chi, yang style, for 8 years. I myself find that the easy tai chi which is also referred to as tai chi for busy people has been just as beneficial. Tai Chi for Busy People really describes it all. Most of us are too busy to dedicate long hours of practice, but with tai chi for busy people one can practice 4 minutes a day and experience great results.

The second part of Easy Tai Chi is 4 Minuet Fitness. Four Minute Fitness consists of five exercises, which are qi gong principles PLUS secrets from yoga, tai chi, modern science and motivation techniques. It also includes principles from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to change thoughts from negative to positive.
. The qi gong exercise are a very good place to start. I personally started with the 4 Minute Fitness exercises and then incorporated the tai chi for busy people. 4 Minute Fitness is more than just exercise for your body it is great for the mind as well. 4 Minute Fitness can also be practiced by people that are physically challenged with a few modifications.

As I mentioned earlier, I have practiced martial arts since 1960 and tai chi has definitely made an impact on my practice and chi level. Many of you may have questions as to what I have been talking about, I encourage you to visit the following link for a much more descriptive view by Mr. Jeffery:
