Tai Chi Ruler is an ancient system of Taoist exercise known as chi-kung ( energy cultivation ) which uses a specifically carved symmetrical wooden artifact called the Tai Chi Ruler. Rounded at the ends and center, the design springs from the form of traditional Chinese Epee Handles. The small wooden dowl provides an exercise regimen that can be easily learned, and only requires a small space to perform the exercises. The T’ai Chi ruler is recommended for anyone who suffers from chronic condtions such as body stiffness, arthritis, chronic fatigue, lupus, and others as a complementry alterantive treatment. It works on back, wrist, arms, forearms

The Ruler is a type of qigong used to nourish and fortify the qi. The Bang ( Stick ) is heavy while the Ruler is light.

"Qi comes quickly" with the Ruler practice, implying that the practitioner feels the qi simply when holding the Ruler in both palms.

Both ends of the Ruler are round in shape and fit nicely in the centre of the palms.

The Ruler coaching is flexible, in the way that you can practise the movements individually or do them as a set. This practice gives you a good grounding which lets you reach higher levels in qigong. It’s a synthesis of all the ingredients which are required for development at higher levels. And, naturally, with the smooth circulation of blood and qi, good health is in the palms of your hands.

The art contains 8 sets of exercises done in repetition with deep, slow respiring and the ruler held between the palms. Each exercise coordinates breath, psychological and visible concentration with a basic t’ai chi physical pattern.

Hold the ruler so that it is in a vertical position whilst your arms are like welcoming a balloon.

Push the ruler in so that it is near your chest and out again. At the same time your wrists must revolve as if you are wringing the ruler. Hold the ruler horizontally out front of your chest with your palms facing your chest. Next, using your waist, turn left but using your right hand to bump your right end of ruler down ( at about that point, the right end of the ruler moves toward your body ) whilst your left hand will attempt to resist the movement. After that, turn back to face the front to the beginning position.
