Relaxation

Not relaxed?
Our culture is filled with things that make you anxious: the news, advertising, marketing, media, fashion, trends, fads, gossip, customs, family, religion, peer pressure, war, work, ill health... 

Stress
An anxious person thinks constantly, talks, competes, worries, over-eats and spends money. Instead of relaxing, they are compulsively active. 

Don't worry
Relaxation starts with the mind. This is the root of the problem. Tai chi encourages new starters to think less. To stop worrying. To change pace and slow down.

Mind & body 
Relaxing both mind and body will improve your health and make you feel better. Your quality of life will change. It can be hard for busy people to relax, so you must be patient.

Energised
The commitment you make towards being relaxed will prove itself worthwhile when you start to feel fresh and energised.

Nervous system 
Relaxing will have an effect upon your nervous system. Calming the nervous system changes how you move - you will feel less jerky and more fluid.
