Gathering The Essence
 T'ai Chi Classes in Bedfordshire

Classes for Mind, Body and Spirit

Everybody wants mental peace, physical relaxation, balanced and harmonious energy, and good health in life. However, we do not always know how to achieve these qualities, and even when we know the way, we may still find it difficult to follow.
 
The practice of T'ai Chi and Meditation provide an invaluable path, with clear guidance to realising these qualities.
 
Take your health in your own hands with this healing art. It is simple enough for beginners to learn, and yet profound and involving as a life-long practice.
 
Learning and practising these arts adds a profound quality to our lives, allowing us to find a relaxed, peaceful centeredness.
 
During classes the student will learn to concentrate by learning forms; practice will develop the power of the mind. The mind can then be used to increase awareness of internal energy. With practice the student can guide their energy at will to any part of the body.
 
The ability to use your mind to exercise your internal energy is the gate to transforming energy into internal power.
