Development Of Tai Chi Psychic Powers

Do you ever have the feeling that you know on an unconscious level that something will happen and then is come true, or you are listening to the radio and the song you have in your head starts to play. A letter come from a high school friend you knew 20 years ago, but you were just thinking about, and then the letter appears in your mail box. Is it mere coincidence, or do you have a higher plane of consciousness?

Develop psychic powers Tai Chi

by Conrad Raw

If you’ve ever watched a program involving someone that’s psychic and wished you had that same ability, then be assured, you do. The ability to perform miracles and harness the psychic power is within every living person. Consider the early cave men. They didn’t have a language so they depended on the part of their brain that controls telepathy to contact the other tribesmen or tell them there’s someone or something watching them. You’ve probably been in a room and knew that someone was watching without ever seeing them. That’s psychic ability.

Psychic ability surpasses simple telepathy once you harness it. Through the ages, various orders of men and women studied the harnessing of this energy. One highly successful group of people are those that are advanced practitioners of Tai Chi. Tai Chi is training your body to improve the flow of energy. It’s a discipline that helps you focus and focus is important in any psychic training.

Advanced practitioners of Tai Chi are able to travel to the future, and forecast events, light fires with the energy from their hands, bend metal and perform a number of other amazing feats. Not everyone trains to do these feats. Since much of the training is quieting the mind, penetrating the mind and energy of his opponent and becoming sensitive to his energy, its isn’t unusual for Tai Chi practitioners to experience psychic events and enter the mind of the opponent. The training also travels with them beyond the sparring arena into daily life.

What causes some of the amazing abilities to occur and increase as the student of Tai Chi increases his abilities? There are different thoughts about the cause of increased psychic power and all of them may be right.

Some believe it comes from the meditative phase of Tai Chi. They believe that when you calm your mind you allow yourself to access information you’ve always had and abilities you’ve hidden that await your discovery. This brings us back to the cave man and his ability. He didn’t have all the useless facts stored in his head like modern man. There was no trivia, geometry, telephone ringing or television to block his ability. Quieting the mind brings us back to the primitive knowledge we once had.

Tai Chi is sometimes called moving meditation and the movement part trains the flow of energy flow with movement and breathing technique. Some believe it is the control of the life force, the chi, through the body that allows the Tai Chi practitioner to perform improbable feats. Amazing feats of strength can come from the practice of Tai Chi. The most interesting part of the development is the loss of self pride in order to increase the flow of Chi. Many times, people with low self esteem but great determination advance more rapidly than those filled with self pride.

When you use Tai Chi to learn psychic phenomena, pride stands in your way. Accepting that all is natural increases the amazing psychic ability. Self pride interferes with the abilities. Perhaps, the ancients understood that psychic ability is inside all of us. We need to accept it as we accept talking, walking and moving. If you stopped in the middle of every sentence and said, "Look at me, I’m talking" you’d never have any communication. Psychic ability, like every ability you have is part of your basic make-up. You have to accept that first and "just do it".

Tai chi Sword History & Collecting

 

 

Tai chi may to some may be a gentle form of meditaion with flowing movements akin to a dance form, but the tai chi we know today evlovled from Tai chi chuan, which is  a Chinese martial art that over the centuries name was shortened to "Tai Chi" or "Taiji" and is now used as such every day around the globe.

 

Tai chi chuan as an art form can take the form of tai chi ball, tai chi sword, tai chi ruler, tai chi martial art hand combat and more.

 

The words passed down for centuries tell the tale of four major weapons: The staff (Gun), the spear (Quaing), the sabre (Dao), and the sword (Jian).

 

The jian is described as a "gentle man’s weapon" . It is comprised of a double-edged straight sword that was little more than a bronzed double edged dagger used during the last 2,500 years for protection and fighting in China in cities environments. The longer sword know today would have made fighting more difficult in cramped city conditions, but around 500 BC. there were changes to the Jian. The jian evolved into a weapon of varying lengths, and weights that are seen and collected today.

Emotional Health Through Qigong and Tai Chi  

by Dan Adrian

Our emotional health is essential if we are to live an enjoyable and successful life and interact with others in a fulfilling way. Lack of emotional control often keeps us from initiating meaningful contact with other people and expressing ourselves in social situations.

There are many approaches and techniques for improving self confidence. The ones mostly relied upon range from psychological techniques, such as those used by psychotherapists to help their clients overcome emotional problems, to physical stress-relief maneuvers, such as getting a massage or working out regularly. However, there is another way that pertains to a totally different understanding of the emotions.

Thousands of years ago, in ancient China, a system of techniques called Qigong has emerged, which relied upon the philosophical principles of Yin and Yang, the 5 elements and the complex relations between human existence and nature, relations that underline and influence every aspect of our health and well-being. Tai Chi, with its slow graceful movements, is actually just Qigong in motion. What few people know, however, is that the improving emotional health is one of the areas Qigong and Tai Chi excel compared to other practices.

What Is Qigong?

Qigong is a system of techniques designed to promote health and enable the cultivation of Chi, the essential life force sustaining our bodies and informing and animating all known phenomena. Qigong techniques include breathing exercises, slow movements, static standing postures, meditation and visualizations. Through these techniques, people of all ages are able to correct their posture and improve their mobility, regain their strength and vigor and overcome most diseases.

But one of the strongest points of Qigong practice is it’s ability to help us achieve emotional balance in a very effective and unique way. Tai Chi then enables us to take command of our body and encourage the energy accumulated through Qigong to circulate along the natural pathways.

How Does Qigong Relate to Emotional Health?

Chinese medicine has established a complex system of relations between emotions and our vital organs. English expressions like "being livid with anger", "having a broken heart" or "a heart filled with joy" make perfect sense in this context, because the liver is associated with anger and the heart is associated with emotional suffering, and when energetically balanced, with joy and love. Refined over thousands of years, this knowledge is of course far more complex than, but you do not need to understand all the complexity in order to practice those simple techniques.

In Qigong, each emotional imbalance is seen as a sign of an energetic imbalance. This is not necessarily good or bad but it’s a state of weakness, just as any disease. Harboring negative emotions for too long actually lead to physiological diseases in most cases.

Learning how to use abdominal, deep breathing is one of the most valuable tools at your disposal for calming your mind and remaining in control. Straightening your spinal column and unblocking its essential energy centers is another way to insure increased emotional stability and a clear mind as well. Then there are the meditation techniques which allow us to clear our mind, and the static postures designed to release tension and encourage the flow of Chi along the meridians the way it’s naturally supposed to flow.

What Is Qigong’s Approach So Powerful?

Think of psychological techniques of improving emotional health as "learning how to drive better". No matter how poorly maintained you car is, if you are a good driver, you are able to make the best out of it and avoid getting into accidents too. Think of taking care of your body, getting massages, running and getting enough sleep as "performing basic maintenance for your car".

But think about Qigong and Tai Chi as putting quality gasoline in your fuel tank and making sure the transmission and the steering remain intact. Because no matter how good a driver you are, there is nothing you can do if the transmission jams.

Qigong and Tai Chi are a slow but easy and steady progress towards attaining great emotional health and balance so that even in difficult or challenging circumstances, you maintain your inner composure and your ability to enjoy yourself.
