Tai Chi - Silk Reeling Fundamentals
for Beginners
Easy to learn and guided instruction for single hand silk reeling. Silk reeling is paramount in Tai Chi, and is one of the main differences between QI Gong and Tai Chi.
In silk reeling, the movement is continuous. If one thing moves everything moves. All movement is directed from the center. This is also one of the core principles of tai chi. The center leads the body.
In silk reeling there is changing weight and turning. We change weight by moving our center either more to the left, or more to the right.
For beginners it is good to focus on breaking the movement into 4 parts. Shift weight right, change (hands position) , shift weight right, change (hand position).
The benefits of tai chi are increased relaxation, mindfulness, balance, increased energy, flow, softness, presence, harmony, and the continuous cultivation of internal power.
