It is a benefit Tai Chi, meditation and has been referred to as the mother of all Chi Kung and healing. Healing Chi Kung These Chi Kung practices are some of the oldest healing exercises ever recorded, ideal for all ages and abilities. Included are Ten Taoist Chi Kung Exercises The Eight Chi Kung, Eight Pieces of Brocade, and Iron Shirt Chi Kung. Beneficial for healing practitioners or those who wish to access internal energy. Thursdays, 7:00 - 8:00 pm Tao Yin (Taoist Yoga) Tao-Yin exercises help your internal life force, or Chi, to circulate more freely, for the purpose of refreshing, attuning, adjusting and regenerating your personal energy.

Also any other interest is welcome and I will try to accommodate it.
