Be Like the Silk Worm

What is silk reeling, and should all Tai Chi practitioners be doing it?

Yes, indeed we should. Here's why.

Pound for pound, silk is stronger than steel because of its high tensile strength and elasticity. It comes from the silk worm, which spins a microscopic thread round and round itself, creating a continuous fibre.

Silk reeling in Tai Chi is the practice of spiralling and circling in creating continuous movements. It is the way we should move in general to create dynamic and powerful movements.

I have made a video showing you how I have more power, strength and movement to keep a kettlebell above my head with one hand while I touch my toes with my other hand. By spiralling.

You'll see that I can't do the same movement if I move downward in a straight line.

What's the point of this video? I want to prove a point - that if we want to excel in Tai Chi or any athletic endeavour, we need to learn to spiral. We need to know how to effectively use the rotations of our hips, shoulders and forearms all together in our movements.

We should already know to move as one unit. In Tai Chi, we know we are supposed to connect the whole body and move the whole body as one. Sports professionals of all sorts will tell you the same thing.

Would you like to learn more? Get in touch if you are interested in attending in-person classes or getting access to more videos like this one. Please click on the photo to access video. Enjoy. https://youtu.be/q9n0K5pmvJQ?si=h9ZIHXs5sRPya-rn

Was on LBC news talking about how British Medical Journal (BMJ) said their study "supports the use of tai chi as an alternative approach for the long-term management of chronic insomnia in middle-aged and older adults".

Don't hurt your knees

An article I read from VegOut. I quote,

Curiosity releases dopamine, keeping motivation alive.
Movement boosts oxygen and blood flow, fuelling the hippocampus (the brain’s memory hub).
Purpose activates the prefrontal cortex, improving focus and emotional regulation.
Gratitude strengthens neural pathways linked to resilience and calm.
This totally got me thinking about what we do in Tai Chi & Qigong. I don't know about you, but I am always curious, figuring out how to let go of physical and mental tension so I can root, sink and expand better in my practice.
Watch this video if you like https://youtu.be/OPPKeXi2M9o?si=9TW6NE34bp0ZFBkz

All our movements, whether we are practicing Qigong or forms, are intentional. Not mindless. There is a purpose to each movement as we use each joint correctly and effectively.

We can be grateful for every movement we do as they improve our strength, mobility and mental acuity.

With much gratitude, I have had an awesome master and amazing mentor who have helped me shape, develop and refine my skills in Tai Chi.

Message me if you are interested in my in-person and online classes.
