Underwater Tai Chi

By Chris Leave a Comment

When you are practicing your Tai Chi form imagine you are underwater.

But make sure your head is above water!

I’ve found that using this visualisation technique slows my movements down alot. Especially if I am in a rushed mood when practicing Tai Chi.

I also get a deeper sense of Chi flowing through my body.

Here’s how to do it;

  • Relax you body
  • Imagine you are standing in water up to your neck
  • Start your form
  • Feel the slight resistance of the water as you move

If you decide to use this technique let me know how it feels.
