Taking out 20 minutes a day to practice Tai Chi is indeed a lot of benefits. It not only enhances the flexibility and ability to maintain balance, but also helps us find inner peace in this busy life. Now, let me elaborate on the unique charm brought by these 20 minutes of Tai Chi in detail.
Relax your body and mind
During the busy day, I specially set aside 20 minutes to practice Tai Chi leisurely, which is equivalent to providing a deep soothing to my soul. During these 20 minutes, I was able to temporarily put aside the pressure of work and the troubles of life and devote myself to every move. When I slowly raised my arms and retracted my steps for 20 minutes , the noise around me seemed to disappear, and my heart became extremely calm, like a pool of windless lake water, so calm that there was no ripples.
When I was first learning Tai Chi, I always had many miscellaneous things in my mind, and it was difficult to concentrate completely. However, as the practice time continues to accumulate, I can gradually concentrate on these 20 minutes of Tai Chi practice. After each exercise, I can feel deeply relaxed by my body and mind, and my originally tense nerves were relieved a lot.
Strengthen physical fitness
Don’t underestimate the effects of these 20 minutes of Tai Chi practice, as it is very effective for physical exercise. Tai Chi's movements are both slow and coherent, requiring close cooperation between various parts of the body. During the process of practicing Tai Chi, my muscles were trained and my body's flexibility was constantly improving. I used to feel struggling to bend over, but now I can easily touch my toes.
Moreover, Tai Chi helps to improve a person's physical balance. For older people, maintaining a sense of balance is particularly critical, because if you are not careful, you may suffer a fall. Since I persisted in practicing Tai Chi for 20 minutes every day, I obviously felt that my walking stability had increased and I was more confident when going up and down the stairs. In just 20 minutes, my physical condition has improved day by day.
Improve concentration
During these 20 minutes of Tai Chi practice, it seems to be a tempering of concentration. Every action requires us to experience and execute with our heart. At first, my thoughts were often wandering, thinking about the lunch meal, and then worrying about whether the work was completed. However, as the practice progressed, I gradually learned to focus on every move in the moment.
During these 20 minutes, I was fully focused on the rhythm of my breath and every detail of my movements. For example, when pushing your palm, you need to pay attention to the stretching of your arms and the strength of your palm; while when turning, you need to experience the rotation of your waist and maintain balance in your body. This concentration is not limited to practicing Tai Chi, but also allows me to complete various tasks more efficiently in daily life and work.
Social communication
Practicing Tai Chi can not only strengthen Tai Chi For Health , but also become a way to make friends. I joined the Tai Chi team in the residential area. Every day, we would make an appointment to practice Tai Chi together, which lasts about twenty minutes. During the intervals of exercise, we are happy to share each other's practice insights and skills. When there are irregular movements, everyone will help each other and correct them.
During these 20 minutes of Tai Chi practice, I met many like-minded partners. We not only practice Tai Chi together, but also are happy to communicate every bit of life. This kind of social activity made me deeply feel the warmth of the collective, and at the same time made my life more colorful.
Inheriting culture
Tai Chi, the shining pearl of traditional Chinese culture, these 20 minutes of exercise are also a continuation of this culture. Every move contains the wisdom and philosophy of the ancients. During the process of practicing Tai Chi, I seemed to travel through time and space, exploring the mystery of Tai Chi with ancient Tai Chi masters.
Whenever I practice Tai Chi, I can always deeply understand the profound heritage of Chinese culture. I am eager to share these 20-minute Tai Chi experience with more people, so that more people can know and love Tai Chi, and allow this traditional culture to be passed on for a long time.
