One hour of Tai-chi relaxes and regulates the central nervous system, promotes physical and mental well-being and releases emotional and physical stress accumulated through work or other anxieties. People of all ages can cultivate relaxation, balance, central equilibrium and physical coordination through these gentle and non-jarring exercises. Tai-chi is also often referred to as a 'moving meditation' or 'moving in stillness' or promoting self-awareness and self-discipline which in turn generates a feeling of well-being, where inner tensions dissolve and the 'mind' starts to quieten. A focus on awareness, breathing and visualisation techniques help to promote a deeper sense of relaxation and focus.
