The Taichi and Qigong Podcast Podcast

Beyond Yoga, Tai Chi and Qigong are two disciplines that are entering our realm of practice possibilities, bringing with them a great deal of opportunities, while enhancing our general health level and providing at the same time a powerful personal development tool. What are they, what can they do for us, and how can we manage to not make, approaching them, the mistakes usually a beginner does. Let's talk about it in a simple and accessible way! Also, here on youtube a video on Wuji practice: https://youtu.be/WvL2b882aYE?feature=shared www.miamitaichi.org miamitaichi@gmail.com

    S3 E3 - The "Dan Tian" and elastic force

    In this episode, second of three dedicated to the use of "force" in the internal arts, we discuss about how the center of mass is supposed to be settled inside the body, in the lower Dan Tian area, in order to generate elastic force by the process of transforming the way joints, tendons and ligaments are used. A process that is at the basis of Taichi, Qi Gong and Meditation.

    S3 E2: The "Dan Tian" (丹田): its physical aspect

    Nobody has ever been able to approach any Chinese energetic art (say Taichi or Qigong) without encountering the concept of "Dan Tian" (丹田), or "Elixir Field". We will see how the Elixir was intended to give immortality (in lieu of the awakening in the buddhist theories), of the shape, size and location of the Dan Tian widely varies in different centuries or schools, and how it is related to the physical nature of Homo Sapiens.

    S3 E1 - What's the Taichi Form all about

    When we think about Taichi, we usually link it to the Taichi Form: the slow, relaxed, continuous sequence of arcane movements. But at the end, what's the Taichi Form all about? Is it a form of therapy and self-healing? Is it a tool to develop a powerful martial prowess? None of the above, as we argue in this chat.

    S2 E14 - The Quest 4 Power

    For groups and for singles, when it comes to religion or spirituality, the quest for power arises. It is unavoidable, generated by the ignorance-fear-frustration-anger-hate loop, a loop that cannot be broken, leading to the quest for power growing desperate. How to see it, how to avoid denial in dealing with it, and how finally leave it in background.

    S2 E13 - Boredom & Escapism

    - Boredom: The feeling of being bored or uninterested in what you're doing is boredom. Everyone experiences boredom sometimes. The feeling that nothing catches your interest, that everything's dull and flat, sums up the state of boredom. - Escapism: In psychology, escapism is when a person routinely uses an activity or behavior to escape life's realities. It is a way of distracting the mind.

    S2 E12 - LGBTQ + Practitioners

    LGBTQ+ issues has been heavily politicized, to the point that is not uncommon to find even internal arts teachers who claim some of this people to present deviations from a supposed given human nature. In this episode we dismiss such claims as non-sensical, and we on the contrary explain why, on a very practical ground, LGBTQ+ practitioners may find in their path to have a strength like many other practitioners never find in their whole life.

    S2 E11 - The Three-Body Problem

    The Three-Body Problem is a well known sci-fi novel by the Chinese author Liu Cixin, recently renderer by a Netflix series. In the Chinese Internal Arts we traditionally recognize three main energetic centers located in or correlated to the physical body: from physical energy to psychic energy, the internal journey may be obscure and detailed at the same time. Outside a traditional path only lies delusion, exacly where many practitioner find themselves in modern Yoga or Meditation approaches. When you see a traditional map, you understand why that's the case.

    S2 E10 - Meditation and Therapy

    Meditation is not a therapy for the Self, the Ego is not the Nature of Mind, what was going on in your childhood is of no interest for your practice, and practice itself is not supposed to generate Love.
