Mapping the Essence of the Qigong & Tai Chi Universe
PDF Guide by Dr. Roger Jahnke, OMD

This 22-page article explores Qigong and Tai Chi’s roots, traditions, how the body is engaged in the mind-body “form,” whether quiescent or dynamic, and with what intended focus. Dr. Jahnke explains how the true essence of Qigong and Tai Chi lies not in the form itself, but in the state it cultivates. All the various forms serve as guides, leading the practitioner toward this state of balance and flow. The vast diversity and multitude of forms reflect the rich range of theoretical and philosophical foundations, as well as the unique tastes and preferences of those who created them. With thousands of Qigong forms to choose from, you can easily find a tradition, dynamic, or focus that suits your goals, medical condition, and philosophy. Like the ancient Qi masters, you may find yourself combining your favorite methods and practices to create your own personal form.
