    Happy World Taichi and Qigong day! Here's a little explanation you might find interesting. I filmed this with Commune -- check out my course on the 8 Brocades for FREE! Link above. Have a great day.
    Many often ask me, what the difference is between taichi and qigong, so I thought this might be a useful video, especially on a day like today.
    Taichi is a martial art - it’s one of three main internal martial arts in China. The ‘chi’ of taichi is actually pronounced ‘ji 極’ - and is different than the ‘qi 氣‘ in ‘qigong’. Ji means polarity, and qi means life energy. It's a bit confusing!
    As an internal martial art, taichi is a practice that has martial applications, but also gives equal emphasis and focus to the health and longevity of our bodies, as well as to meditation and spiritual development. Qigong is a broad term that can include internal martial arts practices, but it’s primarily being practiced as a medical practice that supports people’s wellbeing.
    Happy World Taichi and Qigong day everyone! Keep your practices nourishing to your body, mind and spirit.

    Pretty good explanation. People don't recognize the Martial Aspect of Tai Chi because it has been softened so much, Like Qi Gong both deal with flow of the Qi in the body.

    I love your videos, thank you so much. In the eight brocades, people innocently come before camera, obstruct you but your smile is always there. I am still unclear - is it correct to say Tai Chi is a form of chi Gong but not all Chi Gong is Tai Chi? I felt Tai Chi movements are normally longer sequences compared to Chi Gong movements.

    • @MimiKuoDeemer
      @MimiKuoDeemer  Рік тому +2

      Thank you for the message, lovely to hear you enjoy the practices. And yes, Tai Chi is a form of Qigong, but not all Qigong is Taichi, that is just one branch of it.

    • @MimiKuoDeemer
      @MimiKuoDeemer  Рік тому +2

      Thank you! I am so happy to hear you enjoy the videos. For the breathing you can try either the mouth or nose. I prefer nose but if that's difficult you can breath out the mouth too.

    T'ai Chi Ch'uan practice that has no understanding of function is not T'ai Chi Ch'uan. The "ch'uan", meaning fist/boxing, has value beyond the martial aspect. Too much focus on function creates tension, no focus on function and your body will not be in an appropriate attitude to circulate chi. Chi Kung does not provide the martial benefits of good T'ai Chi Ch'uan instruction, but good T'ai Chi Ch'uan instruction and practice does provide the benefits of Chi Kung, or at least so it is as presented by Professor Cheng Man-ch'ing's tradition.
