A form of Qigong, Tai Chi consists of a sequence of over a hundred interconnected movements that promote a natural sense of balance and body awareness. These exercises focus on the mind, as well as the condition of the body. Through Tai Chi movements, patients increase the delivery of oxygen and nutrients from the blood to the tissues of the body, which intensifies the lymph system's ability to eliminate metabolic waste, boosts the transport of immune cells and shifts the biochemical makeup of the brain and nervous system toward healing. The regular practice of Tai Chi, for as little as twenty minutes a day, aids in stress reduction, increases stamina and strengthens the body overall.
