Our friend Ricardo talks about his experience at Escuela Superior Chikung Taichi Haoqing Liu

Testimonial Ricardo · Aeronautical Engineer · 6 years at the School

It is difficult to express in words what one feels or experiences practicing chikungtaichi.

After practicing for 6 years, I am finally beginning to feel my body, to relax my muscles when I think about them, to relax my mind, to reduce or remove small pains (such as migraines) and to feel full of energy every morning after my dynamic and static taichi session.

But reaching this point is not easy; it requires daily dedication, going through moments when you feel you are not advancing but going backwards. However, the steps are simple: repeat, repeat, repeat, until you no longer think about the movements, you only think about your body, and at that moment every centimeter of difference in each position seems like a world.

Then you begin to know when a movement is well executed and when the position is not correct, with Master Liu's help.

Then you move on to controlling which parts of your body have strength or are relaxed; this is the most difficult part (at least for me), as it requires complete concentration. From here, sensations multiply every day, and each day is different. And then you know you have only just begun. Master Liu is your guide on this long path, helping, correcting and advising you, but you are the one who must walk it.
