Taiji Energy Art


Taiji as an energy art is the training of intention, awareness and intelligence within the energies of the middle-dantian (astral or deep-emotional level).

Energy training is central to all health, martial art and higher aspects of Taiji. Though energy training is based on the middle dantian, it inevitably includes a component from the lower dantian and a component from the upper dantian. Taiji for health and martial arts draws mostly on that lower dantian etheric component combined with the lower levels of the astral. If unbalanced by spiritual aspiration, then the strengthening lower dantian will increase the attachment to and identification with the body, leading a person in the opposite direction from their true purpose on the Earth.
