Has anyone experienced or tried tai chi before? What do you think of it?
I am thinking of taking up Tai Chi and Qigong as I have been told it is great for increasing flexibility and suppleness and health in general. It also helps to improve the flow of chi throughout the body. I've done research into it and apparently chi has already been scientifically proven. See article below . Anybody else tried tai chi for themselves? What do think of it? Thanks. 'Scientific Evidence of Qi In the Shanghai College of Traditional Chinese Medicine a qigong master called LinHousheng skilled in emitting external qi from Laogong a point on the palm where the tip of the middle finger touches when the fist is clenched effectively treated quite a fewcomplicated cases. However, nobody believed his therapy as well as the external qiemitted from his palm. The treatment was taken as sorcery or merely suggestion.Starting in 1977, he sought an effective test to prove the existence of external qi. Later,he met Ms. Gu Hansen, a scientist working in the Shanghai Institute of Atomic Nucleus,the Chinese Academy of Sciences. She was interested in research on amplifiers ofmicro signals and also in life sciences. They collaborated on testing the existence of qiwith modern scientific instruments. The following are the experiments Two close range infrared surveyors were designed. The surveyors directing to the rightLaogong of Lin Housheng received the infrared radiation at a distance of 1.2 cm from itsreceiving transducer when he emitted his qi. When qigong was well performed, theinfrared modulation depth was as high as SO'YO with a low frequency of 0.05 persecond but when Lin Housheng held his qi, the infrared modulation depth was less than 10 % with a high frequency of 0.3 per second. By the end of qi emission, the modulation depth was round 30 % with a frequency of 0.17 per second. The results revealed that the infrared radiation of the qigong master was specific, different from that of ordinary people whose modulation depth was less than 10 %. With the aid of the electric charge detector, it was found that Laogong was full ofelectrostatic charge when Lin Housheng emitted qi. The polarity changed along with thechange of physiological status. When Lin Housheng felt comfortable, there was anincrease of negative charge and when he held the qi, there was an increase of positivecharge. This suggested that the bioelectricity emitted by a well trained qigong mastercould rearrange the doublets bipolar particles of living substance at the acupoint areafrom randomness to a specific order. It was detected that the electric resistance at Neiguan a point on the anterior aspectof the forearm between the two tendons, 2 cun above the transverse crease of the wrist was drastically reduced when qigong was practiced. According to the resonance theory,this phenomenon can be attributed to the electric resonance at the site where the tissuecontains a kind of structural substance with magnetic action, most probably nickelprotein protein combined with nickel . With the aid of modern scientific instruments,they carried out the preliminary determination of qi and concluded that the external qi inqigong was composed of infrared radiation modulated at a low frequency and that theqigong master emitted infrared electromagnetic waves. For the first time the existenceof qi was proved.'pristinechi.com why qigong.htmlThanks for your answers so far. I don't see why chi wouldn't exist as electrons which were thought to be particles are simply fields of negative charge while protons are fields of positive charge. Isn't matter then, essentially energy?What research is being done into it? I am very interested in learning more about it.

What should i do Yoga or Tai Chi for better health?
im not sure which one i should start learning, i want to do it everyday when i wake up first thing but im not sure which i should learn, and as they take a while to master i cant really do both, id rather focus purely on one, but im not sure what the benefits are of each so which is better in your opinion, i know they're both good but yoga is better in some areas and tai chi in others, and thats the part im stuck on, any advice? thanks.
