Many people who visit Tai Chi hope to find an
exercise and/or some symptomatic relief for health issues. In the late
sixties, when I first saw Tai Chi being performed at a class in Cambridge,
Massachusetts, its beautiful, graceful and relaxed movements mesmerized
me. Having had chronic lower back pain which had caused me difficulty most
of my life, I wasn't sure I could even do the Tai Chi movements; but I
joined a class and found almost immediate relief.
After learning some elementary steps, I went
on to find my teacher, Patrick Watson, a senior student of the Master of 5
Excellences, Professor Cheng Man-Ch'ing. Fortunately, Patrick Watson
selected me as an apprentice teacher. I have been teaching Tai Chi for the
last 35 years - with no recurrence of lower back pain.
Perhaps, because you are reading this now, you
are seeking ways to improve your own health and balance. Many Westerners
have found Tai Chi to be a bridge between East and West, a bridge that
provides an easy-to-learn and satisfying life enhancement tool to maintain
vitality, increase strength, improve balance, clarify thinking and
integrate the body, mind, and spirit.
