Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book will enhance the understanding of what Tai Chi is and how practicing Tai Chi, including the philosophical concepts as well as the physical component known as Tai Chi Chuan, can improve mental health. The intention is to help professional mental health care practitioners better understand a more holistic approach to psychotherapy which Tai Chi can provide. Research on the mental health benefits of practicing five different activities e.g., exercise, mindfulness, meditation, breathing, and stretching are included. Each practice has been shown to either reduce mental health symptoms and or improve resilience to prevent mental health disorders. The regular practice of Tai Chi Chuan, hereafter will be titled Tai Chi, incorporates all five activities during each session. When led by a trained mental health provider, Tai Chi can provide the opportunity for clients, as well as the provider, to improve their overall mind-body functioning. Also included in this book is an example of using Tai Chi Therapy as the main treatment method to provide professional level services from beginning to end of an episode of care as well as an outline for training to become a certified Tai Chi Therapy provider.

Book excerpt: A longtime teacher and Harvard researcher presents the latest science on the benefits of T’ai Chi as well as a practical daily program for practitioners of all ages Conventional medical science on the Chinese art of T’ai Chi now shows what T’ai Chi masters have known for centuries: regular practice leads to more vigor and flexibility, better balance and mobility, and a sense of well-being.

Wayne, a longtime T’ai Chi teacher and a researcher at Harvard Medical School, developed and tested protocols similar to the simplified program he includes in this book, which is suited to people of all ages, and can be done in just a few minutes a day.

This book was released on 2018-04-24 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tai Chi Mastery is simply the ability to reliably repeat each element of each Tai Chi exercise. Tai Chi exercise in research has been shown to be widely variable, but there is a movement towards standardizing the activity somewhat. So far that movement has been towards the reduction in the number of exercises included in a protocol, to make learning easier and faster: Quantity of exercises is sacrificed to prefer quality of exercise. Learning tools such as video and pictures in manuals enhance learning to a point, but often do not provide sufficient information for mastery. Elements and sub-elements of each exercise are identified which can be analyzed by the observer (analysis is calibrated in initial training) and scored, with the scores and compared with a standard score representing success for the activity. The assessment is the narrative by which the training will most quickly result in mastery. Focusing on the correct performance of the elements of exercise is the surest way for the student to guide personal practice to mastery and the desirable reliable outcome. Getting the Assessment Right There will be disagreement with certain parts of this assessment tool. Different Tai Chi styles and experiences will call for some variation, for example weight distribution. Some experience calls for a 70/30 split, some 100/0, or 50/50. The key to standardization is that all who use one tool use the one tool in the same manner. In addition to teaching a tai chi fall prevention protocol that has its own evidence base (Published in the Journal of Geriatric Physical Therapy in late 2017), this instructors guide proposes the final step in a complete tai chi protocol. In addition to a "set" of exercises, a duration of time needed for "therapeutic" effect, and a frequency of practice required for results, we offer a means to standardize exercise performance. This performance "tool" does not go far from what are generally considered Core Tai Chi Principals

This book was released on 2022-07-04 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: INTRODUCTION Children are the future of nation-building as well as its growth. The family and society are usually committed to providing every advantage possible to the children and ensuring that they are healthy and have the opportunities that they need to fulfill their potential. Communities vary relatively in their responsibility to the collective health of children and in the resources they make available to meet children's needs, particularly during their adolescence. Like the horseshoe crab that has outgrown one shell but has not yet produced a new one, adolescence in the human lifespan is a time of transition. It may also be a time of greater vulnerability and stress; but just as surely, it may be a time of wonder, change, and positive growth. Some find it overwhelming; others move through it with relative calm. ADOLESCENCE The word adolescence comes from the Greek word 'adolescere', that means 'to grow to maturity'. Jersild (1963) defined adolescence as "the years during which boys and girls move from childhood to adulthood, mentally, emotionally, socially and physically". Adolescence is a distinct phase of the developmental life cycle in humans and other animal species (Feldman & Elliot, 1990). Rogers (1969) defined adolescence as "a process rather than a period, a process of achieving the attitudes and beliefs needed for effective participation in the society". Piaget. J (1952) defined adolescence as "the age of great ideals and the beginning of theories as well as the time of simple adaptation to reality". Adolescence is defined as "the stage in a person's life between childhood and adulthood" (Geldard & Geldard, 1999). Sequentially, youth comes generally in the middle of the years from 12 to the mid-20s. The definition given by the World Health Organization (1989) states that "adolescence is the period between 10-19 years". The onset of adolescence varies from culture to culture depending on the socioeconomics of the country,

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most of us, if we were honest with ourselves, would admit we have little understanding of how to look after our physical body well. Breathing, bending, stretching, sitting, standing, walking and running seem to just happen naturally. Too often, however, we forget how to perform these functions properly and drift away from nature’s guidance, which, in turn, damages our health. All our physical actions involve the subtle interaction of posture and body mechanics, and at the very heart of it all there lays the breath. Good breathing practice offers many benefits to our mind, body and spirit. Using simple Tai Chi exercises this book shows how to assimilate the powerful healing postures, smooth flow of movement and effective breathing methods of the ancient Chinese, to enable our body to operate again in perfect harmony with nature. Whether you are interested in improving your general wellbeing or are struggling with a long-term health condition, you will find guidance and easy exercises in this book. Additionally, because the author dissects the ancient Tai Chi and Qigong instruction manuals on posture and the mechanics of body-motion, he offers a new dimension for physiotherapists and other practitioners who have an interest in physical therapy. From the moment you pick up this book your journey to a healthier and more contented life begins.

Book excerpt: "Tai Chi Therapy - The Science of Metarobics" presents groundbreaking research with deep implications for chronic disease and therapeutic aspects for health. The theory of Metarobics is based on observations that slow moving exercises such as Tai Chi, being neither aerobic nor anaerobic, must utilize a unique mechanism of action. Research is presented supporting that the wide range of benefits for chronic disease is related to unique effects on enhanced blood oxygen saturation and diffusion. Evidence is presented which supports benefits for hypoxia (oxygen deficiency), which is implicated in a surprisingly wide variety of chronic conditions (including cancer, heart and lung disease, asthma, diabetes, kidney disease, chronic pain and immunity). "Tai Chi Therapy - The Science of Metarobics" presents a new component which could supply the missing element in total health and immunity, to make a person as free from illness, degenerative disease and cancer as it is possible to get. Forty-five years ago running was almost the sole domain of track and field. This book has the potential to do for Tai Chi what Dr. Ken Cooper's book "Aerobics" did for running and the aerobic industry, by bringing wider awareness to a group of exercises with unique physiological effects on the body. Case stories are presented throughout the book, including three of the author's students who felt that Tai Chi had a large impact in their battle against cancer. Over 120 scientific studies are presented, as well as over 50 case stories which highlight sometimes startling and dramatic benefits from a personal perspective. Implications are also presented for forms of Yoga, Qi Gong, and walking which focus on relaxation and the breath.

Download or read book Tai Chi, Qi Gong and Standing Meditation written by Meraz Ahmed and published by . This book was released on 2020-09-04 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a book about Tai Chi, Qi Gong and Standing Meditation. The book is both an introduction to, and an in-depth presentation. The book ¬addresses the beginner, the more experienced student, and the teacher. It covers the Martial, as well as the Civil art of Tai Chi.There are many training systems that are focused on strengthening the body, but that have very little or no relevance to the strengthening and development of the mind. In reverse there exist many meditative practices, which are focused on the strengthening and development of the mind, but in the same way neglect the body. Tai Chi, Qi Gong and Standing Meditation are training systems which both strengthen the mind, the ability to use the body more ¬appropriately, as well as strengthening the internal organs. They will help you find tranquility, balance, rest, and regeneration, and help the individual to become better at exactly what he or she yearns for. They increase the ability to focus and at the same time develop that part of our nervous system that deals with calm, rest and recovery.In this current day and age, the obsession with how looking fit equals good health is a relatively new phenomenon, when seen in relation to how long mankind has existed. Tight, hard and knotted muscles are erringly seen as being fit. It can be difficult to accept and understand, that training is definitively not about exhausting oneself in order to achieve good, healthy results. Especially as we have been indoctrinated by phrases like "no pain no gain". Reality is rather different. Systems of movement like Tai Chi and Qi Gong, which strongly encourage the balancing of bones and joints, and where the movements are aimed at being liquid with a release of the joints while letting go of all unnecessary muscle tension, are a far better bid at an appropriate form of exercise. This way the muscles are being exercised without fatigue. The physical balance is developed while flexibility and mobility are preserved. Added to this is a strengthening of the bones, and the integration of body and mind, as well as one's own experience of peace and wellbeing. A well-balanced skeleton is the foundation for relaxed muscles and free movement of the joints.The book is based on the author's experience of more than 30 years, and contains a wealth of training tips, instructive photos, and links to video clips of key exercises.It also includes excerpts from his dairies, and anecdotes from his personal experiences with some of his teachers - teachers who are among the very best when it comes to Internal Martial Arts, as well as Qi Gong.Standing meditation (Zhan Zhuang) will be a cornerstone and common thread throughout the book. In this you will experience time and again, how the author return to standings and describe new angles and new takes on the subject. Torben Bremann (the author) was born in 1960. He started learning Taiji and Qigong in 1987 from Master Chu King Hung (disciple of Master Yang Shou Shung). In 1989 he came in contact with Master Chen Guan Ming and in 1994 he became a student and disciple of the latter's Master, He Gong De and amongst other things, learned Chen style, Zhanzhuang (standing) and Emei Qigong from him until his death in 1999. From 1991 - 1998 he also received teaching from Patrick Kelly - a long time student of Master Huang Xingxian. In 1998 he was introduced to Master Yek Sing Ong and Master Wee Kee Jin, from whom he has learned Taiji and Zhanzhuang. From 1999 to 2007 he was a private student and close friend of Wee Kee Jin. In 2005 he was accepted as a private student by Master Sam Tam in Taiji, Zhan Zhuang, Qigong etc. Apart from these he has had several other teachers as mentioned in the book. He has amongst other things, an education in traditional Chinese Medicine, psychomotor therapy, psychotherapy, is a specialist in anatomy, motion analysis and physical training, and has a background in both western and eastern medicine.
