The energy centers are located in the pelvis, the rip cage and the skull. With practice, a person can learn to maintain alignment of the big bones and strengthen muscles that help keep organs in place. The technique used is “wu wei” or effortless action. Aligning the energy centers looks effortless because you will be standing or sitting still-ish while actively aligning the body on the inside. By being still, in good posture, one can calm the mind and align the body simultaneously. Broad history of Wudang (Southern style) kung fu and other antidotes about Grand Master Dr. T. K. Shih will be included.
Included free with membership or admission; no registration is required.
