Tai Chi Yang Style DVD The Form demonstrated by Frank Tuma (Island Frank) is the Yang Style for both the Empty Hands and Sword Forms. In order to make it easier to follow and perhaps learn, it is performed in front of a wall-to-wall mirror with meditation music playing in the background. The DVD is most useful in reminding us of a move that we may have forgotten in our lessons from the instructor. Also, the moves are not exaggerated as when performed in a demonstration, so that the student can easily repeat the move. There are six major older basic styles, each with many dialects … just as in languages. These dialects came about as excellent students who became Masters made slight changes in the styles over long periods of time. There are now even regular Katas (forms) of various Martial Arts that are being performed in slow motion and are being called Tai Chi, which they actually are not. Tai Chi has been designed very precisely to facilitate health in all aspects of life. It is also important when watching the DVD to take note of the five qualities of Tai Chi: Slow, Centered, Balanced, Continuous and Graceful. These qualities foster relaxation, speed and precision which develop confidence and longevity with mental and physical health. |

Tai Chi Meditation CD In these highly tense and explosive times we need to have a way to calm ourselves so that we at least can think clearly. People all around us are no longer seeing the real physical world … only the pictures of reality painted by polarized political positions. These polarized positions tend to “dumb up” and excite people into even more strange perspectives of reality. Meditation has always been a way of bringing us back to reality so that we can enjoy and be happy about the beauty of our place in the Universe. This Meditation CD is 23 minutes of relaxation that slows our rampaging brains down to the level of calm water and clear thinking. All you need to do is sit back, or lie down, and be calmly guided through the process of relaxation and into a beautiful world. Step by step, you will be guided to a place of calmness, beauty and safety. The sound of water flowing, soothing music and chimes will take your brain to meditative frequencies. You will be brought back and the world will be a peaceful place again. |
