Vedanta - Practice and Be Relaxed

SENSEI SANDEEP DESAI





T'ai Chi is a mindful practice, an ancient, internal martial art, which gives you a feeling of success and accomplishment. It helps you find out how to slow down instead of always going faster and harder. Slowing down can mean you look at things calmly . Don't fly off the handle. T'ai Chi can positively affect every aspect of your life, including your physical and mental health, your view of the world and the way you interact with others.Considered a cultural treasure in China for centuries, T'ai Chi is the culmination of martial art, traditional Chinese medicine and Taoist philosophy that is concerned with life on earth and works on the premise that the softest things in the world over come the har dest things.
A typical T'ai Chi session consists of `Embracing the Tree' that allows you to feel your body and the chi and its movement. Also, it helps you to become aware of any tension in the body , which you can release by letting your breath go to the spot.
Put a little T'ai Chi practice into practically everything you do. Sink a little and do some abdominal breathing when stuck in a line at the bank or grocery store. Instead of pulling the door with your arms, pull the door open by shifting your weight. You can try mini-meditation while the phone is on hold.
Practice yielding and you'll be amazed to see how relaxed you feel and how much more efficient in life you become.
